Fashion, attitude and a whole lot of hair are what took New York City drag starlet, Manila Luzon straight to the top on LOGO reality series RuPaul's Drag Race (season 3). Since then, the fan favorite has not let up on the competition in regards to face or fashion. To prove that she is ahead in the race, Manila has teamed up with Grammy Award-winning producers Brian Kierulf and Joshua Schwartz of KNS Productions (Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, 50 Cent) for her debut single, "Hot Couture". And now this addictive dance hit has a music video that is as fun and colorful as Manila herself. True to the song's title, the video showcases a myriad of over the top costumes created by a half a dozen fashion and costume designers including Viktor Luna (Project Runway season 9 finalist), Garo Sparo (Unleashed by Garo, Sundance Channel) and Marco Marco (NIcki Minaj, Katy Perry, Britney Spears). Even through all the fun, radiance and glamour, the "Hot Couture" music video also delivers a powerful and personal message.

I feel like Manila is like the really cool aunt that would take you in if your parents threw you out. She would also introduce you to make up.

Manila Luzon should've won our presidential election.

I've probably listened to this song about as many times as Katya has listened to The Same Parts by Tatianna.

I love how Jiggly is just sitting there enjoying her piece of cake

When the mother gave pretty sparkly shoes to Baby Manila and showed that she loves her child just the way he is, I almost cried. The mother reminds me of my own Asian mom and how she embraced me when I came out.
-
This song would be a total hit back in 2005
-
The moment when the mom "catches" him and smiles before showing off the shoes almost made me tear up. So sweet!
-
Playing this again after a few years i am feeling it all over again!! Memories <33
