Queen of the Week is going international, bitches! Not only does Rhuma Hazzet have one of the best names in all of drag, but the talent and beauty to back it up. She does not have a "standard" look, as each appearance is a new "Rhuma experience". Cute, elegant, glamorous, fierce- nobody knows what to expect. Rhuma's looks and the way she presents herself in drag set her apart from other queens, and she doesn't go out when she's not looking like a 10/10.
Rhuma describes how she got into drag:
"Drag for me has never been anything theatrical, I was the introverted boy in school who wouldn't even do my speech unless it was between myself and the teacher at lunchtime. But back in Newcastle, my hometown, the first time I ever saw a queen, I was marvelled. A friend of mine had dressed up and put themselves in drag, and there I was, standing in front of a boy I knew so well, but yet he was this powerful and glamorous figure I knew nothing about, and from then on, the magic of drag took over. I've been doing drag for near 4 years now, and I wouldn't say it has so much put up a confident front for me, but from that day, Rhuma definitely took over, and without her, I wouldn't be the person I have grown to become. And although that sounds very confident, I am actually quite modest about it all, and I have a huge heart and passion for what I do, and consider myself to be an extremely friendly queen. I have no time for catty drag. I love my art, and I want everyone to feel they can be a part of it."
Rhuma has an outrageously impressive drag career. Rhuma is used to big crowds, performing with her closest sisters in front of audiences of over 10,000. Rhuma and one of her sisters Ivy Leagueee took the DIVA (Drag Industry Variety Awards) Outstanding Moment Of The Year 2012 for their performance at Sydney's Marquee night club (sister club to the ones in Vegas and New York City). She has even danced alongside Katy Perry during her Sydney Concert.
She has been hosting Room Service in Sydney, and has a number of exciting upcoming performances including a huge Sydney party in October alongside The Freemasons.

What Rhuma wants you to know about drag in Australia:
"Australia has a lot of talent, and I don't want people to just associate Australia with 'Priscilla' back shed drag. Australian drag is a force, and we have some of the fiercest and beautiful queens in the world, and the world needs to see this."
