Nicktoons and Pokémon get glam with Phi Phi O’Hara’s “365 Days Of Drag”

It’s always fun to see two different kinds of nerdery overlap. In that spirit, RuPaul’s Drag Race veteran (and villain) Phi Phi O’Hara has spent most of the last year working on her “365 Days Of Drag” series, in which she posts a picture of a different, elaborate drag persona to her Instagram every single day. Unsurprisingly—given that O’Hara’s original stage name, Phoenix, was a reference to X-Men comics—many of those outfits verge into the world of cosplay, with O’Hara often drawing on the nerd topic du jour to power her look. Obviously, at the moment, that means Pokémon, but O’Hara’s geeky catalog runs deep, hitting everything from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the recent Suicide Squad to Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.

Meanwhile, O’Hara still has 149 days to go. Although, given that she’s already covered both Eureka’s Castle and a whole week’s worth of My Little Pony, it’s not clear how much deeper into the pop culture well she can go in her search for distinctive, nerdy looks.
