It's About to Get Ruvealing: RuPaul's Drag Race Season 7 Cast Announcement

It's that time of year again, hunties! Every year, Logo TV creates an interactive game to unveil the latest crop of queens who will compete for the title of America's Next Drag Superstar. Season 7 will begin airing in 2015, but today we find out who'll be competing. The official cast announcement will come tonight during the NewNowNext Awards at 9pm, but throughout the week Logo has been revealing clues.

Instead of the usual scavenger hunt like previous years (which I much preferred and thought was more fun), this year Logo's campaign has been to use Snapchat to #Ruveal clues. Each teaser is a clip from the promo trailer only showing bodies. Each snap contains a letter, and put together they unlock a queen on ruveal.logotv.com. Eight queens have already been semi-confirmed by Drag Official, but the full Ruveal will come later tonight. Check back here periodically throughout today for more announcements and get to know the queens.

Miss Fame
Miss Fame is the first officially announced cast member of Season 7. Miss Fame is a highly-established queen in NYC and she is already the front-runner for the competition. She has a series of sickening make-up tutorials on YouTube which I'm obsessed with. She's going to be one to watch this year.



Jasmine Masters
"I have something to say!" will be the catchphrase of this season.



Pearl
I love Pearl's aesthetic and she's friends with Detox, but her performance seems like a cheap imitation of Detox. Time will tell if she can stand on her own.



Jaidynn Dior Fierce
She's a big girl, and her fun personality and dancing is going to make for quite a riotous time on the show.



Kandy Ho
This Puerto Rican beauty is known for her signature robotic performance style, and mama can werk it out on stage!



Katya
Katya is a Russian-inspired queen who brings a lot of comedy and camp while keeping her glamour intact. She's giving me Pandora meets Willam realness.



Tempest DuJour
Tempest is the oldest queen in Drag Race herstory, and being a mother of two she's got quite a bag of laughs tucked in her purse.



Max
This Old Hollywood glamour queen appears to be the Milk and Sharon Needles of the season. I'm excited to see what she's gonna bring!

Violet Chachki
Violet has the smallest waist in Drag Race her story, and this high-flying queen appears ready to bring some tricks to the main stage.



Kennedy Davenport
Her name sound familiar? This Texan queen belongs to the Davenport family which used to be the home of the late Sahara. And who can forget her fierce America's Got Talent Vegas week audition?



Ginger Minj
This pint-sized queen may be small but her larger-than-life personality will more than make up for it.



Mrs. Kasha Davis
Kasha is old-school camp, and she's ready to school these young, fishy queens.



Sasha Belle
Iowa is finally being represented by this fierce fighter.



Trixie Mattel
And finally, this Native American queen's camp aesthetic and large personality will give the other queens a run for their money.



This cast of queens seems to be the most diverse one yet. I'm really excited going into this. Not a lot of these girls are huge names so I'm thinking a lot of this season will be personality-driven which isn't something we've seen on the show in a while. I have a feeling we are going to gag on the eleganza and be blown away.
