Initially unpopular amongst the other Season 7 contestants due to her snobbish attitude, Violet was frequently picked last for team challenges. She had some struggle with acting, and comedy challenges but always was close to win or actually won fashion, and performative challenges (as in Episode 2, "Glamazonian Airways", in which was named as one of the Top 3).
 
   
  +
==Drag Family==
Just like [[Ginger Minj]], Violet won 3 main challenges (in Episode 1 "Born Naked", teamed with [[Katya]] on Episode 10 "Prancing Queens", and Episode 11 "Hello, Kitty Girls!"), but she was the only one who didn't have to compete in a lip sync not to be eliminated during Season 7. These facts, her eye-catching looks, and unshakeable confidence made Chachki, in Episode 14, "Reunited", be the 7th crowned "America's Next Drag Superstar".

===='''Season 7'''====
 
  +
Initially unpopular amongst the other Season 7 contestants due to her younger age (22 years in 2014) and perceived “snobbish” attitude, Violet was frequently picked last for team challenges. She showed some uncertainty with acting or comedy challenges, but quickly was viewed as a stunning fashion queen to watch-out for—Violet frequently placed highly (or won) during challenges involving fashion or modeling. Nevertheless, in Episode 2 ("Glamazonian Airways") of Season 7, the entire ensemble of queens performed a several-minutes-long musical number, in which she placed in the Top 3; her comedic portrayal of [[RuPaul's Drag Race (Season 5)|Season 5]] contestant [[Alyssa Edwards]] during “[[Snatch Game/RuPaul's Drag Race|Snatch Game]]” (Episode 6) proved that Violet could be entertaining, and improvise jokes and comebacks, despite being unsure of her own comedy prowess at the time.
* "Ooh lala lalala." (entrance quote)
 
  +
  +
Just like fellow front-runner [[Ginger Minj]], Violet won three important main challenges (the nude-illusion challenge on Episode 1’s "Born Naked"; paired with [[Katya]] on Episode 10’s "Prancing Queens"; and Episode 11’s '''[http://sanrio.com/hellokitty Hello! Kitty]''' themed runway, on "Hello, Kitty Girls!"). She was the only contestant on Season 7 who never placed in the bottom 2, thus she was never required to compete in a lip-sync battle nor was she at-risk of being eliminated. These facts, combined with her eye-catching looks, dry wit and unshakeable confidence, are all what ultimately won Violet Chachki the prize of “America’s Next Drag Superstar”. Her fellow Top Three runner-ups were [[Pearl]] and Ginger Minj. Chachki’s win was the series’ seventh crowning of a queen (Episode 14, "Reunited"), or the eighth, when considering [[Chad Michaels]]’ crowning win on the premiere season of ''[[RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars (Season 1)|RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars]]'' (2012).

Latest revision as of 22:39, 24 January 2024

Violet Chachki is a drag queen, burlesque performer, aerial silks dancer, model, content creator, and the Season 7 winner of RuPaul's Drag Race.

After winning her season, Chachki embarked on a world tour, at which point she became even more famous for her on-stage aerial feats and suspended burlesque performances (often in minimal outfits), her modeling, impeccable fashion sense (and discerning eye for style), as well as working with Dita Von Teese, Prada, Moschino and Vogue, among others.[4]

Drag Name Origin

Violet was originally named "Blair"; after having watched the 1996 movie Bound, she renamed herself after the film’s sensual, dark character "Violet" (Jennifer Tilly). The surname "Chachki" is an anglicized or phonetic spelling of tchotchke, a Yiddish word used to name a strictly decorative, small collectible item. Additionally, the word can be used to describe a beautiful young lady; thus, ironically, Violet Chachki can be translated as a "violet-colored trinket".[4]

Track Record(s)

Maxi Challenges Won: 3 (Eps. 1, 10, 11)
Mini Challenges Won: 1 (Ep. 10)

Times in Bottom: 0

Drag Family

Violet has a drag family originally out of Atlanta, Georgia, within which the most notable members are herself, her drag mothers, Genre Monster and Season 8 contestant Dax ExclamationPoint, and her drag sister, Brigitte Bidet.[5]

RuPaul's Drag Race

Initially unpopular amongst the other Season 7 contestants due to her younger age (22 years in 2014) and perceived “snobbish” attitude, Violet was frequently picked last for team challenges. She showed some uncertainty with acting or comedy challenges, but quickly was viewed as a stunning fashion queen to watch-out for—Violet frequently placed highly (or won) during challenges involving fashion or modeling. Nevertheless, in Episode 2 ("Glamazonian Airways") of Season 7, the entire ensemble of queens performed a several-minutes-long musical number, in which she placed in the Top 3; her comedic portrayal of Season 5 contestant Alyssa Edwards during “Snatch Game” (Episode 6) proved that Violet could be entertaining, and improvise jokes and comebacks, despite being unsure of her own comedy prowess at the time.

Just like fellow front-runner Ginger Minj, Violet won three important main challenges (the nude-illusion challenge on Episode 1’s "Born Naked"; paired with Katya on Episode 10’s "Prancing Queens"; and Episode 11’s Hello! Kitty themed runway, on "Hello, Kitty Girls!"). She was the only contestant on Season 7 who never placed in the bottom 2, thus she was never required to compete in a lip-sync battle nor was she at-risk of being eliminated. These facts, combined with her eye-catching looks, dry wit and unshakeable confidence, are all what ultimately won Violet Chachki the prize of “America’s Next Drag Superstar”. Her fellow Top Three runner-ups were Pearl and Ginger Minj. Chachki’s win was the series’ seventh crowning of a queen (Episode 14, "Reunited"), or the eighth, when considering Chad Michaels’ crowning win on the premiere season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars (2012).

  • She has a short past in pornography under the name "Frankie Malone", much like Jade Jolie and Detox.[10]
  • For nudity, she caused controversy a couple times. For example, in 2013, when explicit photos of her were shown on Atlanta's "Legendary Children" photo exhibition.[4]
  • Season 10 winner Aquaria and her were the first drag queens to ever walk Met Gala’s red carpet.[4]
  • There's a rumor she stole Season 4 winner Sharon Needles crown.[11]
    • She later confirmed that while she was not the one who stole it, she did take photos with it.[12]
  • Prior to Season 7, she worked in a pizzeria, as well as a dominatrix, while doing drag in a way that secured her a few titles in Atlanta, Georgia.[13]
  • The suitcase she was carrying during Season 7 Episode 2's "Jet Set Eleganza" runway was packed full of dildos and fetish gear. She intended to have it all bust out at the end of the runway but got axed last minute because it was a shortened runway sequence.[14]
  • Like Roxxxy Andrews on Season 5, she had the longest gap between Maxi Challenge wins, both taking 9 competitive episodes to win their second challenge.
