Biography
Cameron Clayton, performing as Farrah Moan, ascended from a skilled Las Vegas makeup artist to a national drag persona defined by dazzling beauty and a penchant for melodrama. Her stage name, a clever pun on 'pheromone' and a nod to 70s icon Farrah Fawcett, perfectly captures her blend of sensual glamour and vintage Hollywood appeal. On RuPaul's Drag Race, she became known for a polished, pageant-ready aesthetic and a uniquely vulnerable comedic style, often breaking into exaggerated tears that fans adored. While her run on the show had challenges, it was her mastery of makeup—honed working on other queens before her own fame—that established her credibility. Beyond the competition, Farrah Moan evolved into a savvy digital entertainer, using social media and YouTube to connect with audiences through makeup tutorials and candid vlogs, proving her resilience and business savvy in the ever-shifting landscape of drag entertainment.
