Vivian Vanderpuss is a Canadian drag performer and one of the contestants of the third season of Canada's Drag Race. She was later voted as the season's Miss Congeniality.
Drag Name Origin
Her drag name comes from how "bougie" she thought the name sounded for a cat-loving divorcée who wears big fur coats as well as the name being an alliteration.[4]
