Lenox: a local drag queen’s story

Margaret Cataldi, Staff Reporter • October 22, 2019

Staff reporter Margaret Cataldi caught up with local drag queen “Lenox” to discuss everything from inspiration to life outside of drag. Lenox also recently performed at Touch Bar and Nightclub, an El Paso gay bar.

UTEP psychology student Sal Vargas is the mind behind Lenox, an increasingly popular drag queen within the El Paso scene. Since first stepping into drag in early 2018, Lenox has garnered multiple achievements. She won a prestigious drag queen award last December with a cutting-edge performance that bested nearly 15 other contestants. Today, Lenox continues to captivate audiences most weekend nights at Touch in east El Paso.
