Tell us about yourself.
I’m Tomara Thomas, I’m 25, all the way from Hartlepool in the North East!
How would you describe your drag in five words?
Sexy, fierce, wild, manic and stunning!
What does it feel like to be a Ru girl?
It feels correct! The time has come for this star is to shine. You’re not ready for me!
What would we get a Tomara Thomas show?
I’m a dancing diva and you’re gonna be buying what I’m selling! There’s going to be high kicks and splits and a lot of dancing. I do all of the brunches, all the evening shows, because I’m a showgirl and my energy is infinite. Come on!
How did you get into drag?
I actually started drag when I was 14 years old at dance school, but I went on to be a professional dancer and more recently I was travelling around the world performing on the cruise ships. However, I would watch the girls in my shows and wish that I was wearing their costumes and doing their roles, so during lockdown when I was back home unable to work, I started to do make up transformations on myself, and so Tomara Thomas came out again! I moved to London and I was lucky to get a few gigs and two years later here I am on Drag Race UK!
Are there any challenges you’re looking forward to?
I’m more than this gorgeous dancing diva. I’ve got funny bones in my body so I want to win a comedy challenge! I’ve idolised RuPaul for years so the fact that they’ll be standing in front of me in the flesh is amazing – although they probably won’t understand a word I say!
What’s unique about you?
This energy is unmatched. What other lady has an energy like this and looks like this?!
