Christian Viñas, popularly known as Viñas Deluxe which is her drag name, finally unveiled her first music video under ABS-CBN Star Music and Tarsier Records last February 17 at a bar in BGC. 

This is a cover song of ‘I’m Feeling Sexy Tonight’, with special participation from her fellow Drag Race Philippines Season 1 contestants Turing Quinto (also the choreographer), Minty Fresh, and Lady Morgana. Other drag queens who joined her in the video are Tiny Deluxe, Shewarma, Aries Night, Lady Gagita, Odasha, and Viper & Sophie. 

Viñas recalled having a very positive experience with the influencers who did a cameo in her music video: Baninay Bautista, Aaron Santos, Adrian Araneta, Christian Tiu, Bont Bryan Oropel, Ady Cotoco, and Yannie Tiu.

The launch kicked off with a performance of rising star drag queens from Viñas very own House of Deluxe, Solenn and Viper. Afterwards, Viñas herself performed onstage in a black tanga embellished with long, white beads, and sat down for a short interview with the host Karen Bordador.

She revealed that she has never been in any serious relationship with anyone, just a series of flings. “Nakakaloka. Hindi ako nagjojowa so never ako nagkamonthsary,” she said after having congratulated a friend in the audience for celebrating a monthsary. It was also Viñas’ first time performing ‘I’m Feeling Sexy Tonight’ live so she was quite nervous.

Confident and alluring in real life, she does not really run out of romance. “Parang madami na ping kalandian pero walang na napu-push thru kasi hindi ko naman talaga siya priority,” she explained.

Other drag artists who performed are Zumba Ding and Fewsha Deluxe. Also present in the audience is the music video’s director, Ejay Dimayacyac.

Recently, the “Drag Pop Misis” performed together in a concert with her fellow “Divine Divas” Brigiding in Precious Paula Nicole, the latter being the first “Pinoy Drag Superstar.” Despite her monicker, she is perfectly fine with not having a “mister” yet. “Wala, walang mister. Para sa mga weak lang ‘yun,” she joked.

The idea for covering this song came about when she’s trying to write original songs. She was able to finish some, but they were all about heartbreak and she wanted her first song under the label to be something jovial.

Through enough, the ‘I’m Feeling Sexy Tonight’ is very colorful and is set in the 80’s. It gives one a vibe of being carfree and confident. As of writing, the music video has amassed more than 60,000 views.
