Laganja Estranja is an American drag queen and choreographer. She is best known as a contestant on Season 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race and placing 8th.

She later returned on All Stars 6 as a Lip-Sync Assassin and won the lip-sync against her Season 6 sister, Trinity K. Bonet.

Drag Name Origin[]

She had a drag friend in college, by the name of Marquetta Velveta. She was inspired by the way Marqueeta’s name rhymed, and also played with the word “marquee”. She is also a huge supporter of the legalization of marijuana usage. She wanted a drag name that involves weed, rhyming scheme, and play on words. Thus she is the strange plant – Laganja Estranja.[citation needed]
