Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Icesis Couture is the stage name of Steven Granados-Portelance (born February 3, 1987),[1] a Canadian drag queen who won the second season of Canada's Drag Race in 2021.[2] She later returned to compete on the first season of the spin-off series, Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs. the World, in 2022.[3]
Career
Granados-Portelance appeared as Icesis Couture on the second season of the documentary series Canada's a Drag in 2019,[4] and won Ottawa's Miss Capital Pride pageant in 2020.[5]
In 2021, he competed in the second season of Canada's Drag Race,[6] winning two challenges over the course of the season and ultimately winning the competition over finalists Pythia and Kendall Gender.[7] On the night of the Canada's Drag Race finale, all three finalists were at a viewing party at Toronto's Danforth Music Hall, on a bill that also included Icesis's drag daughters Kimmy and Savannah Couture, as well as Makayla Walker Couture, an emerging Toronto drag artist who had appeared in the prom makeover episode as Couture's drag daughter "Ruby Couture".[8] On the same day, Couture released "La Pusetta", a bilingual English and Spanish pop single and music video created in collaboration with DJ and producer Velvet Code under the music label So Fierce Music.[8][9]
In 2021, Couture modelled the Amsterdam Rainbow Dress, described as "a voluminous multicoloured gown that embodies a powerful statement about the global persecution of LGBTQ people", at Ottawa's National Gallery of Canada.[10][11]
In 2022, Couture returned to compete on Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs. the World against other former competitors from across the Drag Race franchise, including fellow Canada's Drag Race season 2 alumni Kendall Gender and Stephanie Prince. She placed in the Top 2 in episode 2 for her impersonation of Donatella Versace in the Snatch Game and was never up for elimination throughout her run. However, in episode 4, she decided to withdraw from the competition citing her mental health, ultimately placing 6th.[12]
In 2023 Couture participated, alongside fellow CDR alumni Kimora Amour and Suki Doll, in Courage Across Canada, a speaking tour in which the CDR queens spoke to high school students about bullying and homophobia.[13]
Personal life
Granados-Portelance is of Salvadoran and French Canadian descent,[8] and lives in Ottawa, Ontario.[14] His younger brother Randy is also a drag queen, who performs under the name Savannah Couture.[1]
He is a close friend of Kiki Coe, a drag performer who was contemporaneously a competitor in the first season of the drag competition series Call Me Mother[8] and later became a competitor in the fourth season of Canada's Drag Race.[15]
Granados-Portelance is also the drag mother of Kimmy Couture, a contestant on the third season of Canada's Drag Race,[16] and Makayla Couture, a contestant on the second season of Call Me Mother who Granados-Portelance put into drag for the makeover challenge of Canada's Drag Race season two.[17][18]
