'RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars' Season 3 Cast: Aja, Kennedy, Shangela, Milk and More
The queens who will be returning to compete in "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" season 3 have been revealed. All but one, that is. Emmy Award-winning host RuPaul presented the cast on a VH1 broadcast on Friday.
The nine competitors will bring to the show a wide variety of drag queen styles covering six of the past seasons. "For 'All Stars' season 3, the expectations are high, and these mighty queens do not disappoint," RuPaul said. The returning all stars are as follows:
Aja, from season 9. Hailing from Brooklyn, Aja brings fashion-model sophistication to drag. Entertainment Weekly describes her as a Linda Evangelista clone.
BenDeLaCreme, from season 6. Variety recalls that "Miss Congeniality" BenDeLaCreme made it to fifth place in her season, getting further than her fellow all star competitor, Milk. This queen is from Seattle.
Chi Chi DeVayne, from season 8. Us Weekly reports that the Creole queen says she's ready to toss the "cheap queen" image and go for a refined approach. Chi Chi DeVayne hails from Shreveport, Louisiana.

Kennedy Davenport, from season 7. Known as the dancing diva from Texas, Dallas native Kennedy plans to use her pageant girl background to her advantage in "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" season 3.
Milk, from season 6. The "dairy queen" finished in ninth place on her season. As befits a New Yorker, Milk is known for avant-garde looks that can be either ground-breaking... or just weird.
Morgan McMichaels, from season 2. It's been too long for this queen from Los Angeles to be away from the show. She made it to eighth place on her season, but as TV Line notes, "the Scottish Scandal is out for blood" in "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" season 3.
Shangela, from seasons 2 and 3. Us Weekly says she's the original comeback queen. Also known as the Nancy Drew of Drag, the girl from LA is hoping that third time's the crown.

Thorgy Thor, from season 8. "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" season 3 has a second Brooklynite. Thorgy says she's going to bring the drama and the "conflama" if that makes any sense.
Trixie Mattel, from season 7. TV Line calls her the "living doll." She got to sixth place on her season, but the human Barbie from LA hopes her comedy skills will land her further on "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" season 3.
As for the identity of the 10th queen, that has yet to be revealed. A video on YouTube suggests that it could be Darienne Lake of season 6, but that has not been confirmed.
