RuPaul's Drag Race Wiki

Silky Nutmeg Ganache is an American drag queen, performer, and one of the Season 11 contestants of RuPaul's Drag Race.

She would later return to compete on All Stars 6, where she placed 11th.

Silky would later go on to compete on Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs The World Season 1.

Silky later returned as a Lip-Sync Assassin in All Stars 8. She lost her lip-sync to Jimbo.

Drag Name Origin[]

Originally named Lasagna Frozeen,[4] Silky, oriented by a mentor at the all-male college she attended, later changed it. Then, while watching Food Network, she heard "silky ganache", which is a luscious glaze made from cream and chocolate, and kept it as her stage name later adding "Nutmeg" in the middle.

Much like Nina Bo'nina Brown, Silky's sometimes name yodeled by adding more words to the end of her name, typically food ones. Also, sometimes she's called The Reverend Dr. Silky Nutmeg Ganache, Dr. Silky Ganache, or simply Dr. Ganache, by RuPaul due to her looking into studying in a Doctoral Degree. She was commonly referred to as "Dr." Reggie in her visits to her university "Wabash". While Reverend is added because she was a minister of music in her church.
