Paper Cut is a Mexican drag performer and one of the contestants on the fourth season of La Más Draga. He would later be voted La Más Volada by fans. Paper would then return to compete on the fifth season of La Más Draga as well.
Drag Name Origin[]
He began doing drag utilizing paper and his mother's makeup, as he didn't have money for more. He then posted several of these looks on a Facebook group and asked for suggestions for a drag name. He ultimately decided to go with Paper Cut.[4]

Memorable Quotes[]
La Más Draga Season 4[]
- "Mi drag es ser un drag king, un drag no binario, soy un pedacito de papel, soy un atacazo artístico con patas. Mi drag va de eso, va de ser super creativo, super de manualidades. Es lo que soy yo, mitad payaso, mitad infantil."
- "Es que estoy chiquito."
- "Me encanta ser la oveja arcoíris de la familia."
- "Las dos darks así con sus labiales negros se van a dar besos negros." (talking about Tiresias and Elektra's romance)
- "No puedo competir con Tiresias. Tiresias es una diosa en el escenario y yo un simple ratoncito." (before his lipsync against Tiresias).
- "No me voy con la frente en alto porque me avergüenzo de haber salido tan pronto." (following his elimination).
- "Nunca se dejen papelitos, siempre crean en ustedes como yo estoy creyendo en mí."
- "Muchas gracias papelitos y espero no haberlos decepcionado y que me sigan queriendo tanto como yo los quiero. Todo esto lo hice por ustedes." (following his elimination).
La Más Draga Season 5[]
- "¿Qué onda papelitos?" (upon his return).

- Paper calls his fans Papelitos, from the Spanish word papel.[6]
- Paper stated that he was told it was optional for him to bring outfits for La Más Ajolote and La Más Artesanal. He decided not to in order to save money.[7]
- Had he participated on La Más Artesanal, he would've done a look inspired by Ojos de Dios, wooden crosses covered by colored threads commonly found in Latin American communities.[8]
- He is the fourth contestant of La Más Draga to reach the finale without ever placing below safe, after Madison, Raga Diamante and Iris XC. He would be followed by Electra Walpurgis.

- Paper was given his own crown and cash prize upon this reveal, although the amount was not specified.[8]
- He has commented that his experience on La Más Draga (Season 5) was far more positive than the one on La Más Draga (Season 4), as the latter was clouded with a lot of anxiety following his elimination and some comments thrown at him by a few of his fellow contestants.[8]
- Paper Cut was special guest at the live auditions for Acartonadas: El Desafío (Season 2).[9]
