Princess Poppy is the stage name of Thomas Schmidt,[1] an American retired drag performer who competed on season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race.[2][3]
Career
Princess Poppy competed on season 15 of RuPaul's Drag Race.
The show was filming among the COVID early years; Poppy recounted having to get tested six times in one day due to repeat false positive results before being approved for participation.[4]
Her talent show entry was a lipsync to an original song by Danny Bernstein and Poppy about her and singing "twin" Petunia, a parasite tumor like puppet.[5] During the behind the scenes parallel show "Untucked" she realized that being a full time drag queen and the social media obligation was not what she wanted, although she will continue to do drag in some fashion. [6]
She was the second contestant eliminated from the competition,[7] after losing a lip sync against Amethyst to "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross.[8]
Princess Poppy's look for the reunion episode paid tribute to season 1 contestant Rebecca Glasscock.[9][10]
