Shangela Hosted a Spur-of-the-Moment Fan Meetup in Peru, and the Pics are Adorable

One of our favorite queens on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 3 just reminded us why we love her so. While in Lima, Peru, on a stop of Voss Event’s Werq the World tour, Shangela hosted an impromptu fan meet-and-greet. And the photo evidence from the Shangela fan meetup is really adorable. She’s literally kissing babies, y’all!

On Tuesday morning, Shangela tweeted: “Last day in Lima, Peru. Let’s do a fan meet up today. I won’t be in drag. I won’t be doing a performance. But for all the fans here who want to come say HI and take a selfie, should we do it today? 2:00 p.m.?”

She also took to Instagram to explain what she was doing and to show her fans and followers where she would be. “I’m gonna be right here, at this observation deck at 2:00 pm.”

Surprise Fan Meet Up! Today 2pm at the Observation Deck across from the CLARO building in MiraFlores. Above the Chili’s! No Drag. No show. Just Come say Hi, Halleloo and let’s take a quick selfie. Xoxo ?

And guess what? So many fans showed up for the spur-of-the-moment Shangela fan meetup.

A RuPaul’s Drag Race Peru account tweeted that photo of her holding a fan’s baby, with the caption: “@itsSHANGELA Thank you some much for your kindness with your Peruvian fans. Our Khaleesi, a queen for the people #PeruLovesShangela.”
