## Track Record(s)

Manila Luzon

## Κληρονομιά

Μετά την εμφάνισή της στην εκπομπή, η Μανίλα παρέμεινε πολύ ενεργή στην LGBT κοινότητα. Υπήρξε μια ισχυρή ακτιβίστρια από την άποψη της υποστήριξης και της έρευνας για το AIDS - ήταν πρωτοπόρος των αποφοίτων του Πανεπιστημίου των Φιλιππίνων στη Μινεσότα. Σε μια τηλεοπτική διαφήμιση που ονομάζεται "Red Ribbon Runway", εμφανίστηκε με ένα φόρεμα σχεδιαστών που αργότερα δημοπρατήθηκε από τη Logo για να χρηματοδοτήσει την έρευνα για το AIDS. Το Buzzfeed την κατέταξε στους 27 Φιλιππινέζους που σας κάνουν περήφανους που είστε ο Pinoy.

Η Μανίλα έχει κυκλοφορήσει οκτώ μουσικά σινγκλ με τις κορυφαίες πωλήσεις, "Hot Couture", "The Chop" (με Latrice Royale), "Best XXXcessory", "Lady Marmalade" (Cover with The Heathers), "Bring It! " (με τον Jinkx Monsoon), "One Night in Bangkok", "Eternal Queen" και "Helen Keller" (με τον Cazwell).

Έχει επίσης εμφανιστεί ως καθηγήτρια στο *RuPaul's Drag U*. Είναι μια από τις πιο επιτυχημένες και δημοφιλείς βασίλισσες όλων των εποχών του σόου.

Ονομάστηκε η Νο. 6 βασίλισσα με τις περισσότερες συμπάθειες και η Νο. 8 πιο γρήγορα ανερχόμενη βασίλισσα στο Drag Official. Έχει επαληθευτεί ως διασημότητα στο Facebook και στο Twitter. Η Μανίλα ψηφίστηκε για το *All Stars* από τους θαυμαστές. Ακόμη και το Dragopolis, ένα παιχνίδι με θέμα το *Drag Race*, έχει μια ενότητα όπου μπορείτε να είστε πραγματικά Μανίλα και να πολεμάτε μαριονέτες. Το πνεύμα, το ταλέντο και η αισιόδοξη στάση της είναι πολύ δημοφιλή στους θαυμαστές της (με το παρατσούκλι "Φανίλας").

## Σχέσεις

Ο Luzon ήταν σε σχέση με τον Season 2 Sahara Davenport για έξι χρόνια πριν από το θάνατό του. Ο Ντάβενπορτ πέθανε στο νοσοκομείο John Hopkins, στη Βαλτιμόρη, στο Μέριλαντ την 1η Οκτωβρίου 2012, λόγω καρδιακής ανεπάρκειας. Το πρώτο επεισόδιο του *All Stars 1* ήταν αφιερωμένο στον Ντάβενπορτ και, κατά τη διάρκεια του επεισοδίου, η Λούζον δήλωσε ότι θα έκανε ό,τι μπορούσε για να συνεχίσει την κληρονομιά του Ντάβενπορτ, καθώς και ευχαριστώντας τους φίλους, την οικογένεια και τους θαυμαστές της για την υποστήριξή τους μέσω του θρηνώντας. Στη συνέχεια κυκλοφόρησε το τραγούδι "Eternal Queen" ως φόρο τιμής στον Davenport.

Στις 16 Νοεμβρίου, μετά από πολλά χρόνια μαζί, έκανε πρόταση γάμου στον φίλο της, Michael Alvarez, στη μέση μιας παράστασης στο LemonLab στο Σαντιάγο της Χιλής. Το ζευγάρι παντρεύτηκε στο παρεκκλήσι Silver Bells Wedding Chapel, με έναν υποδυτή του Έλβις ως ιεροτελεστή στις 24 Δεκεμβρίου 2017.

## Trivia

* Manila is the first and only queen to win the first challenge (AS1), the Snatch Game (AS4), the Makeover (S3), and the Ball (S3) throughout her entire Drag Race run.
	+ She was the second queen to win all the 3 challenges that the fandom considers are the most important ones (The Snatch Game, Makeover and Ball) throughout her entire Drag Race run, with Chad Michaels being the first one.
* She stated in her "Feeling Fruity" episode, that she identified as bisexual, before realizing that she was gay.
	+ In All Stars 4, she even shared names of some of her high school ex-girlfriends, whom she dated prior to officially coming out; These were: Christine, Elizabeth, and Alaya.
* Her black and blond streak hair was not always her look, as she used to switch between black wigs and blond wigs. Her signature hair was actually suggested by Sahara Davenport before she was casted for Season 3.
* She is lactose intolerant, as she stated on the behind the scenes on her music video for "Ice Cream".
* She has no drag mother. But she considers RuPaul, Ongina, and the early NYC-scene as her inspiration in doing drag.
* Manila is the first queen to have 3 challenges wins in a regular season and 3 challenge wins in an All Star season.
	+ Manila's combined 7 challenge wins ties her with BenDeLaCreme and Trinity The Tuck for most number of challenges won across multiple American seasons.
		- If the international versions of *Drag Race* are counted she, BenDeLaCreme, and Trinity would be surpassed by Fernanda Brown of The Switch Drag Race, who has amassed 10 challenge wins, although the format is very different.
* She is the fifth queen to win 3 consecutive challenges, after Chad Michaels and Shannel (Team Shad) in All Stars 1, Alaska in All Stars 2, and BenDeLaCreme in All Stars 3.
* She was planning to wear a maxi pad dress for the Curves and Swerves: Padded for the Gods runway in All Stars 4 as a campy yet bold approach to the theme, but production told her not to wear it after she initially asked for permission. Her outfit on the show was her backup option. Ru also stated that the maxi pad dress was in "bad taste."
	+ She later posted a picture of her modeling the dress on her Instagram page. This became, at the time, the most-liked Instagram post by any queen who had ever competed on Drag Race, having received over 368,000 likes.
		- This record has since been eclipsed by Brooke Lynn Hytes' tribute post on her Instagram to Vanessa Vanjie Mateo following Vanjie's Season 11 elimination, which has a current record of over 430,000 likes.
* Manila is the first queen to win a maxi challenge on three different seasons of Drag Race, and she has since been followed by Latrice Royale.
* Manila, along with Monét X Change, is one of the first two queens to receive immunity following a win since Season 5, as well as the first queen to receive immunity in two separate seasons.
* Manila, BenDeLaCreme and Miz Cracker are the only queens to get all three types of wins on an All Stars season: win both the challenge and the lipsync, win the challenge but lose the lip-sync, and have a lip sync tie.
* She reached 1 million followers on Instagram on February 10, 2019, becoming the 18th queen in herstory to reach this milestone.
	+ She is also the first queen who competed on All Stars 1 that has at least 1 million Instagram followers.
	+ She was followed by Jujubee.
* Manila is the second queen to have been both a winner (Season 3) and eliminated (All Stars 4) on the makeover challenge, after Monét X Change.
* Manila's Drag Niece (in-law) is Season 11's Honey Davenport.
* Manila was one of the RuPaul's Drag Race "Legends" brought back for the photoshoot mini-challenge on Episode 1 of Season 11. She was paired up with her Drag Niece-in-Law, Honey Davenport.
* She is the first drag queen host of the Pit Stop not to have won a season.
* Manila currently co-hosts a podcast with All Stars 1 team-mate Latrice Royale called "The Chop", executive produced by Alaska and Willam, on the ForeverDog and Moguls of Media networks. The show (inspired by Alaska and Willam's Race Chaser podcast) reviews each episode of Canada's Drag Race and Drag Race Holland with the two queens each giving their "top" and "chop" moments of each episode. Both Alaska and Willam have appeared as guests on the podcast.
* She is the only Asian queen to win Snatch Game in the U.S. Franchise.
* She is the first queen to lip sync on 4 separate seasons (S3, AS1, AS4 and AS6)
