Vivacious is the stage name of Osmond Vacious,[1] a Jamaican-American drag queen who is best known for appearing on the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race and for being one of the original Club Kids, a group of New York City dance club personalities in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Early life
Vacious was born in Jamaica.[2][3] Vivacious started as one of the original Club Kids in New York City during the 1990s, performing at clubs such as The Limelight, Tunnel, and The Sound Factory.[4][5]
Career
RuPaul's Drag Race
Vivacious was announced to be on the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race in 2014.[4] She made one of the most unforgettable first episode entrances in Drag Race herstory, according to The Advocate,[2] by wearing an outfit featuring a second head Vivacious called Ornacia.[6][7][8]

In 2015, Sadie Gennis of TV Guide ranked Vivacious number 22 in her list of the 24 "best RuPaul's Drag Race entrances of all time",[9] and Time Out’s Ethan LaCroix and Jillian Anthony ranked her number eleven on their list of the best Drag Race contestants from New York City.[10] Vivacious ranked number 91 in Vulture's list of the 100 "greatest RuPaul's Drag Race looks of all time".[11] She was eliminated in the third episode of the show, after losing a lip sync to "Shake It Up" by Selena Gomez against April Carrión.[12][13][14]
In 2019, Vivacious said "gender politics heavily influenced the show, and that the show favors the more feminine queens", according to Sarah Beauchamp of Screen Rant, who wrote, "Since Vivacious' looks are a little more masculine and always unique - rarely the typical beauty queen-esque style seen on the show - she felt she didn't appeal to the Middle American audience."[15]
Vivacious' Ornacia head was referenced in an episode of the third season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars.[16] Vivacious appeared on the premiere of season fifteen of RuPaul's Drag Race. Guest judge Ariana Grande also arrived wearing an outfit referencing Vivacious and Ornacia.[17][18][19]
Music and other appearances
Vivacious was featured on Brandon Morales' 2014 EP, called Pride EP.[20] She released her first solo single, "Ornacia", on October 6, 2017.[21][22] Vivacious was one of 30 drag queens featured in Miley Cyrus' performance of "Dooo It!" at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.[23] She was also one of several drag queens appearing in Katy Perry's live performance of "Swish Swish", on Saturday Night Live in May 2017.[24][25][26] Vivacious was featured in two videos for Elle’s YouTube channel, doing a reverse drag transformation and giving advice to a child drag queen in 2017.[27][28]
Personal life
Vacious is based in New York City as of 2015, where she frequently DJs and performs.[1][23]
