Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLaCreme are back in their chosen home of Seattle for "The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday Show." 
The two drag queens are bringing their flashy costumes to the Moore Theatre in downtown Seattle Dec. 23-24 and 26-28. 
In an interview with KUOW, BenDeLaCreme (the stage persona of Benjamin Brock Hamlet Putnam) said she remembers hearing of a queen that just surfaced in Seattle named Jinkx Monsoon. 
BenDeLaCreme decided she had to see what this queen was all about at the former Roy Street Coffee & Tea. 
The moment BenDeLaCreme saw Monsoon (portrayed by Hera Lilith Hoffer) was "instant recognition." 
It was the first time BenDeLaCreme saw a queen in her age bracket and living in the same world of performance  and it made her feel like she was thriving. 
Since then, the queens have been show partners and rose to worldwide fame after slaying on the hit TV shows "RuPaul's Drag Race" and "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars." 
Fans can buy tickets to a live stream of "The Jinkx & DeLa Holiday show" on Dec. 23, and stream past shows on their website. 
Editor's note: The Seattle Theater Group is a financial sponsor of KUOW.
