New York, NY – October 13, 2016 – After a season filled with ferocious runway looks, buzzworthy choices and cutthroat competitors, Alaska has been crowned the winner of Logo's "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" season 2. Sashaying away with the title of America's Next Drag Superstar and a $100,000 prize, Alaska beat nine of the nation's fiercest all star queens.

"On every level Alaska raised the bar this season and earned her place in the Drag Race Hall of Fame," said RuPaul. "To Detox, Katya and all my super talented All Star queens, I have nothing but gratitude for your brilliance in making this the most sickening season in Drag Race herstory."

"I am honored, humbled, and grateful for the great responsibility which has been laid upon my dainty, tiny, diminutive shoulders," said Alaska. "As your newly crowned queen of Earth, it is my first royal decree that flats are sexy and nails are optional. Let us be kind to one another and be slow to anger. Hold on to your dream; hold on to your dream- because if it can happen for me, it can happen for you. Anus-thing is possible."

The much beloved season is not over yet. Emmy Award winning host RuPaul will be back in two weeks on Thursday, October 27 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on Logo when the All Star queens reunite to dish about the most shocking, glamorous, and twisted moments of the season.

Additionally, Mama Ru will turn up the heat this fall with "RuPaul's Drag Race: Season 6 RuVealed," premiering Thursday, November 3 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on Logo. The never-before-seen look into the unforgettable season is packed with fresh reads and behind-the-scenes gossip from Ru herself. For a sneak peek of "RuVealed" head to logotv.com/video-clips/jwr0je. "RuPaul's Drag Race" Season 9 will return this spring to Logo.

For the second time this year, AXE featured the winner of the drag race competition in an ad for their inclusive take on masculinity, 'Find Your Magic.' After tonight's coronation, Alaska appeared in the spot that celebrates authenticity and self-expression. Just like "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars," 'Find Your Magic' challenges outdated notions of manhood and sends a message that guys can be what they want, dress how they want, love who they want and live fiercely. Alaska's ad can be seen at https://youtu.be/EHzcDNbywTE.

"RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" is produced by World of Wonder Productions with Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, Steven Corfe, Mandy Salangsang and RuPaul Charles serving as Executive Producers. Pamela Post and Tim Palazzola are Executive Producers for Logo.
