The empress with the charm of a chainsaw

Odette is a hands-on drag star, she doesn't shy away from contact and is always trying to devote herself to all her fans. As the founder of Basel's Gay Bingo and the Chairman of the House of Hell and Queen Mother of Drag Roy-lälle-ty, it is her concern to make the local, regional and national drag scene an integral part of the Swiss entertainment world.

🔥 The Ultimate Roast 🔥

👑 Odette Hella’Grand 👑

Zwei Abende voller bissiger Pointen, schonungsloser Witze und liebevoller Respektlosigkeit erwartet euch, wenn Odettes Drag-Familie, Freundinnen und Wegbegleiterinnen ihr endlich all das sagen dürfen, was sich sonst niemand traut.

Von scharfer Zunge bis zur gefühlten Gesichts-OP – nichts bleibt ungesagt!

It's SHOW TIME!

Portfolio

What a year.
A whirlwind of lashes and lights,
of stages that felt like home
and moments that dared me to grow.

From glitter-soaked nights to quiet breaths backstage,
2025 taught me how to shine
and how to soften.
How to fall, rise, laugh louder,
and trust the magic of becoming.

These are just fragments —
memories caught in a short-form heartbeat of time —
but behind every second stands a village of love, talent, courage and chaos.

Thank you to everybody involved.
You didn’t just witness this year —
you made it.

With gratitude in my heart
and glitter still on my skin,
I bow to 2025.

See you on the other side of midnight. ✨

I’ll send it to oblivion

Where my father failed
I will prevail
And once that bear is mine
I’ll be the best explorer of all time

It amazes me that people find it quite bizarre
When seeing creatures in a jar
A kitten or a camel, a reptile or a mammal
Any kind of beast, as long as it’s deceased
Take your last breath, oh yes!

When I was a little girl
My father traveled ‚round the world
He’d write about the fascinating things he’d see
But did he ever bring back anything for me?

NO!

Love to perform this number, it fits like a glove!

Thank you @steve_w_grams for the upcoming Pictures!

“Adornment, what a science! Beauty, what a weapon! Modesty, what elegance!” – Coco Chanel

Jewels don’t make the queen.
But they do know how to worship her.

“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.” – Coco Chanel

Every light tells a secret. Every shadow holds a story.
And I? I simply choose which one you get to hear.

“Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside.” – Coco Chanel

Bathed in shadows, kissed by gold – and completely unbothered.
This isn’t rest. This is regality in pause.

Call it what you want: a moment, a menace, or a masterpiece.
But never call it boring.

„I do not explain. I appear.“ - Elaine Stich

Theatrics without the noise - just velvet, venom and voice.
You don’t have to understand me, darling. You just have to watch.

„Elegance is when you no longer bother to smile - and yet everyone dances for you.“ - Elaine Stich

No need to raise your voice when your aura screams royalty.
Watch and learn, darling. This is how it’s done.

“She was the kind of light that made shadows dance.”
A touch of old Hollywood, a drop of modern defiance — and legs that go all the way to rebellion.

“Give them drama. If they can’t take it, give them more.”
Golden tears, velvet fears, and lashes that slice through silence.

“I don’t do subtle. I do statement.”
Sometimes the world needs to be turned on its head to see the real art.

“She didn’t wait for the stage — she built one on the water.”

No spotlight? No problem.
Give me a railing, a breeze, and a reason to serve silhouette —
and I’ll give you a moment you won’t forget.

“Some queens walk into a room. Others arrive by boat.”

Wrapped in midnight velvet and kissed by dusk,
I don’t follow tides — I shift them.
Let the river flow, I’m already legend.

“She wasn’t made for land — she was built for grand entrances, river breezes and velvet drama.”

The sky darkens, the city glows,
and somewhere between France, Germany and Switzerland…
a queen rises.

All aboard, darlings. This is your captain speaking:
Excellence has docked.

To every person who clapped, cheered, danced, or simply felt something that night —
I see you.
I thank you.

You reminded me that drag isn’t just about being seen.
It’s about seeing back.

Basel, you gave me goosebumps.
Let’s never stop showing up for each other.

If you’ve ever felt too much, too loud, too different —
look at this crowd.
Look at this love.

This isn’t just applause.
It’s a reminder that being exactly who you are
can light up a whole room.

Thank you for reflecting the light back.

I don’t perform for the people.
I perform with them.

The energy, the eyes, the hands reaching out —
that’s the real stage.
That’s why we do it.

From my heart to yours: thank you for meeting me there.

“So what if I love each feather and each spangle?
Why not try to see things from a different angle?”

I didn’t just walk that stage —
I took up space. With velvet. With volume. With voice.

“I Am What I Am” wasn’t just a number.
It was a manifesto in heels.

“Life’s not worth a damn
’til you can say:
I am what I am.”

An anthem.
A moment.
A gown in full sparkle, a heart wide open.

On May 12th, I stood tall — not just as a performer,
but as every version of myself I was ever told to hide.

This was for the queer kids. For the theatre lovers.
For the ones who refuse to shrink.

“I am what I am.
I don’t want praise, I don’t want pity.
I bang my own drum – some think it’s noise, I think it’s pretty.”

On May 12, I didn’t just perform a song.
I stood in sequins, in strength, and in self-love —
for every queer soul who ever had to fight to be seen.

This wasn’t just drag.
This was a declaration.

“I wasn’t looking for trouble, but trouble came looking for me.”
And baby, I was in heels.

On May 12th, I walked out in fur, lace, and attitude —
and gave the crowd just one little drop…
Enough to leave ‘em dizzy.
