Drag Name Origin[]

"I'd like to thank my mum for the name, I'm a very vain person apparently and where there was a mirror or anything I could see my reflection you'll find me admiring myself, mum told me one day that my nickname should be vanity so it's always stuck with me, Milan? Because I'm always keeping and serving up the latest fashions and trends. PERIOD!"[4]

Trivia[]

  • Vanity started drag in 2019.[5]
  • Vanity is the second RuPaul's Drag Race UK queen...
    • ...to win a cash prize (on Canada vs The World), after The Vivienne on All Stars 7.
    • ...to win three lipsyncs on an UK season, after Tayce.
      • Coincidentally, both Tayce and Vanity had similar track records: They were both in the bottom in the second episode, they won the Girl Groups Challenge (their only challenge win) as part of a four-piece group, they placed in the bottom on the Design and Comedy Challenges, they placed in the bottom in the Top 5 and Top 4 episodes, and they lip synced four times, being the only queens on their seasons to do so. The only difference is that Vanity lost her fourth lipsync to Krystal Versace.
  • Despite the fact that Vanity wears orange a lot, her favorite color is actually blue.[6]
  • The premiere episode of Canada vs The World that Vanity won aired exactly a year from the day her elimination episode from UK Season 3 aired (November 18). That win makes her the lowest placing Maxi Challenge winner from that season.
  • Vanity is the first queen in the franchise to win the Girl Group Challenge twice.
  • Both Vanity's eliminations took place one episode before the finale.
  • Interestingly, Vanity's track record on Canada vs The World was a perfectly decreasing one: she won the first episode, and won the lip sync against Rita Baga. She was then safe in episode two, placed low in episode three, bottom two in episode four and finally eliminated in episode five.
