Manila Luzon Coaches Aspiring Drag Queen On MTV's 'MADE'



Manila Luzon, a 28-year-old contestant on the third season of RuPaul's Drag Race, coaches an aspiring drag queen on Friday's episode of MTV's self-improvement reality series MADE #DreamBigger.

On the reality show about making dreams come true, 20-year-old Richard Figueroa meets his idol, drag superstar Manila Luzon, who returns to compete as one of the 12 past Drag Race contestants set to appear October 22 in RuPaul's All Stars Drag Race.

Figueroa says he no longer wants to be the shy guy that he was in high school and is ready to unleash his alter ego, Cassandra Fuego.

“During his journey, he must find out if big hair and high hells will give him the confidence he needs to strut his stuff in front of thousands of people,” the show's description reads.

Luzon, real name Karl Westerberg, recently lost his boyfriend Antoine Ashley. Ashley competed on the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race under the name Sahara Davenport. According to his family, he died of heart failure at the age of 27.

While MTV's MADE focused on high school teens, #DreamBigger includes college students and young adults trying to make it in the real world.




I was not expecting this in the video....

wish i could fucking walk in heels. i feel like i need to train myself so i can be more feminine.

I can walk in them now, but I look like a freaking Clydesdale. Being very 'fluffy' with tiny ankles and feet is not the business.

i thought this show was cancelled for some reason. and holy shit that fall was vicious, those ugly ass shoes were not worth a potentially broken arm.

OMG, my heart dropped when he fell. I keep thinking about my ankle twisters I did in middle school just standing about in heels (back when I bothered with them).

Oh man, this made my skin crawl. My poor high school ankles =/ Now I can't even wear heels. I somehow used to be able to wear 5 inch heels and stuff.

I cannot wait to watch this. The scene where he falls and then tells his mom he doesn't want that chicken on him cracks me up every time.

Dying at him crying "It hurts so bad...and I don't want that chicken on my arm"

To be fair, he ended up with a hairline fracture and was in a sling for a few weeks. It was worse than it looked.
