Lineysha Sparx

Lineysha Sparx is the stage name of Andy Trinidad, an Afro–Puerto Rican drag performer who competed on the fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Career
Trinidad competed as Lineysha Sparx on the fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, which aired in 2013. She placed ninth overall and won one main challenge. On the third episode ("Draggle Rock), she and Alaska Thunderfuck created the drag doll named Lil' Poundcake for the Miss Junior Drag Superstar mini-challenge; Alaska Thunderfuck named her second studio album Poundcake after the doll. Lineysha Sparx was eliminated from the competition after placing in the bottom two of the Snatch Game challenge, during which she impersonated Cuban-American singer Celia Cruz, and losing a lip-sync against Detox to "Take Me Home" (1979) by Cher.

Mariana Frenandez of Screen Rant has said Lineysha Sparx should have won the design challenge. Lineysha Sparx struggled with speaking English and, according to authors of two books about Drag Race, was viewed as a stereotype. In 2023, Bernardo Sim of Pride.com wrote, "Due to her language barrier, Lineysha Sparx was regularly dismissed by other contestants and even by some judges. Alas, Lineysha did prove how gorgeous of a queen she is, and stunted that runway with some gorgeous costumes."

Lineysha Sparx has performed at the Señor Frog's in Orlando and at the Latin Hump Day Fiesta at Pan Dulce in San Francisco. She performed at Club Hippo's Euforia Latina Party in Baltimore in 2013.

Personal life
Trinidad was born in New York City and grew up in San Juan.

Lineysha Sparx is a "drag daughter" of season 4 contestant Madame LaQueer.
