The Red Rabbit Duo (individually known as Gala Varo and Génesis Faux) are Mexican drag performers and contestants on the second season of the YouTube show La Más Draga.
About[]
Red Rabbit Duo was born as a project that allowed the mixture of scenic disciplines, including the circus, with the art of drag. Red Rabbit Duo's specialty is precisely the aerial arts of the contemporary circus combined with a very extravagant fashion.[6]
Drag Name Origin[]
- Red Rabbit Duo: Gala and Génesis wanted a name akin to Charlie's Angels, with their characters being secret agents. They chose Red Rabbit to represent the supposed boss of the two, with Duo being added to showcase their duality.[7]
- Gala Varo: The name Gala comes from the wife of Salvador Dalí, Gala Dalí, while Varo comes from the Spanish artist, Remedios Varo. Gala Varo considers both of them as huge inspirations for her character.[8]
- Génesis Faux: Génesis came up with her name during a drag workshop. She went with Génesis (which also means creation) to represent the beginning of her drag journey. Faux comes from everything on her being fake.[9]

Trivia[]
- They are the first ever duo to participate in an aired drag competition. They would be followed by Isabella y Catalina.

- Gala revealed that she and Soro Nasty engaged in a short-lived romantic affair during the filming of La Más Draga (Season 2), despite both being in relationships at the time. However, their involvement did not lead to any further developments.[12]
- The project of Red Rabbit Duo is no longer active, as they decided to split ways and pursue their own, individual drag careers.[4]
- Génesis would later reveal that this separation was due to several reasons, among them creative differences about the project, monetary issues and personal conflicts between the two.[4]

- On the original poll for La Más Draga: Solo Las Más, the All Stars edition of La Más Draga, Gala and Génesis were featured as separate options to vote for.[16]
- With an average score of 11.75, Red Rabbit Duo holds the worst track record out of any contestant in La Más Draga with at least one main challenge win.
