RuPaul’s Drag Race fans are losing their minds and deeply thirsting over certain pictures and videos of Amanda Tori Meating that have been circulating on social media as of late.
According to a report from the Dayton Daily News, Amanda is a 2014 Stivers School for the Arts graduate and a 2018 Wright State University musical theatre graduate who started doing drag a few years later in 2021.
Amanda’s “drag trajectory can be traced back to being cast in the national tour of the Tony Award-winning musical Kinky Boots while a senior at Wright State,” the report reads. “But before that opportunity arose, there was an underlying feeling drag would only be a secondary outlet, especially since auditions for The Book of Mormon, A Chorus Line, and similar shows revealed a more traditional, post-collegiate path.”
Now, fans are discovering these photos, clips, and reels from out-of-drag Amanda in college and sharing them on social media.
