About
Viñas DeLuxe is a triple threat and an all-in-one package. She started doing drag while at university with a background in theater that helped harness her sharp wit, performance skills, and knack for comedy. Viñas DeLuxe owns a wig business and has built a strong social media presence. She is also in a drag group called The Divine Divas, who gained popularity during the pandemic, mounting digital performances and live streams worldwide.[2]
Drag Name Origin
"Viñas" is her actual last name, while "Deluxe" came about during a college project for her Marketing class, when she decided to add it at the end of the name of the product she created at the time because it sounded fancy.[3]
