# Farrah Moan

Cameron Clayton, better known by the stage name Farrah Moan (born September 11, 1993), is an American drag queen, model, actress, make-up artist and internet personality best known for participating in the 9th season of the reality TV show RuPaul's Drag Race, placing eighth, as well as participating in the 4th season of All Stars, where she placed ninth. Her stage name is a pun on the term "pheromone", whilst also being a reference to American actress Farrah Fawcett. In some interviews, she jokingly states that her drag surname is a reference to "being a whore".

## Early life

Clayton attended Klein High School in Houston, Texas, and was bullied during childhood. Her single-mother household was poor, and she ran away as a teenager, to Austin. Clayton left with a stripper friend, who helped start her career as a drag queen. Prior to starting drag, she was an internet personality on the social-networking website Myspace, under the alias "Cameron Ugh".

## Career

Farrah Moan's first major performance was as part of a contest entitled "Austin's Next Drag Superstar", where she was placed as a runner-up. Whilst working in Austin, fellow Drag Race contestant Cynthia Lee Fontaine was supportive of Clayton, and helped her get booked at local venues. Farrah Moan has said that her biggest inspirations in drag are Christina Aguilera and RuPaul. On February 2, 2017, Logo TV announced that Farrah Moan would participate as a contestant in the ninth season of American reality competition RuPaul's Drag Race. The season premiered on March 24, 2017. Following her poor performance in a roast of the show's judge Michelle Visage, Farrah Moan lost a lip-sync showdown against Alexis Michelle and was eliminated from the competition, placing eighth overall. In a 2023 interview, Farrah Moan noted that immediately prior to arriving on set she had been homeless. She recounted that "my motivation for staying each episode was to have food and a bed for myself to sleep in".
Farrah Moan was referenced in the first episode of season ten of Drag Race, with RuPaul misleading the queens into thinking she returned, to reveal Christina Aguilera, one of her idols, instead. Farrah Moan was brought in by the shows producers to meet Aguilera for a Drag Race bonus clip. In September 2018, Farrah Moan performed as a background dancer behind Aguilera for Opening Ceremony's Spring 2019 collection, with other Drag Race alumni.
Farrah Moan photographed with Shea Couleé for Manny MUA's Lunar Beauty palette.
On November 9, 2018, it was announced that Farrah Moan would be one of the contestants competing in the fourth season of RuPaul's Drag Race: All Stars. After narrowly surviving the first episode's variety show, where she was up for elimination together with Jasmine Masters, Farrah Moan was eliminated by Valentina in the second episode. Farrah Moan returned in episode 6 for a chance to compete again, but lost a lip sync to Valentina, being once again eliminated by her. Farrah Moan placed 9th overall. She appeared as a guest for the first challenge in the premiere of season 11 of Drag Race.
Farrah Moan had a cameo appearance in Men.com's scene Girls Night Part 3.

## Personal life

In 2018, Clayton and fellow season 9 contestant Shea Couleé were involved in a verbal altercation with a woman at a kebab shop in Newcastle upon Tyne after she began directing homophobic slurs at the pair.
