Von Nguyen (born December 15, 1988), better known by his stage name Kimora Blac, is an American drag queen, model, make-up artist and internet personality. He is best known for his participation in the ninth season of Emmy Award-winning reality TV show RuPaul's Drag Race. He chose his stage name in homage to his obsession with Kim Kardashian and Blac Chyna. He has always been intrigued by controversial, strong, powerful and independent women who could care less of what people think of them.

Early life
Nguyen was raised in the suburbs of Sacramento where he was known as the infamous "Von Dolce"

Career
Nguyen started his drag career in 2010 making his first appearance at the Cafe in San Francisco as "Lady Kimora" - young, under-aged, brash, a bit naive, but in love with living the wild Queen lifestyle. Known for sneaking out of his bedroom window in the dead of night to escape the bourgeoisie trappings of her upbringing, and just to have a reason to wear clear, triple platform, stripper heels and a ripped up denim jacket...of course he thought that was it and he was the shit! Over time, Kimora emerged, a slightly more polished, yet still rough-around-the-edges Queen. This era was marked by her arrival in the City of Sin, Las Vegas where she joined the working stiffs who needed to hustle just to make a buck. There's a German philosopher dead a long time now, who said that social conventions don't apply to those brave enough to break the rules, and that whatever don't kill you, makes you stronger. There were those who tried to knock her down and hold her back, and there were bumps and bruises, and too many tears, along the way, but she grew up and she grew fierce. Finally, Kimora Blac blossomed into a refined, sophisticated and polished Queen, who still hasn't lost her playful sass. On February 2, 2017, Logo TV and VH1 announced that Nguyen would be a contestant on the ninth season of American reality competition.
