Carlos Hernandez, known better by the stage name Cynthia Lee Fontaine is a drag queen who rocketed to fame competing in the eighth season of RuPaul's Drag Race. She stumbled into drag after working as a backup dancer for a friend in pageants. Her friend, in 2006, requested she take his place in a show so that he might rest and prepare for the pageant finals he had the next day. And the rest was history.
