Jay Miniano/Pinay Colada
Who is Pinay Colada? She is a drag queen from Munich who first saw the light of day at CSD 2018. She dances, sings, does make-up and wants to put a smile on people’s faces and inspire people and be inspired. But she is also Jay, makeup artist, lecturer. Jay and Pinay are not two different beings. Pinay is an extension of Jay and does things without thinking about what Jay would have to think about first. Pinay doesn’t like to ask permission but rather asks for forgiveness.
