'''Nina Bonina Brown''' (born as '''Pierre Laverne Dease''' on July 12th 1982) is an American DragQueen and Website/{{YouTube}} creator.
They became known internationally after their appearance on the ninth season of ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' where they placed sixth overall. Brown is known for their creative and unique make-up looks, often using unconventional materials such as paper in their drag looks. After winning the first main challenge of the season and being praised by Music/LadyGaga for her talent, Brown became a fan favourite through the seasons run. Despite this, Brown's habit of putting herself down and being her own worst enemy eventually got the better of her. Perhaps her most famous moment in the show is during the season's fifth episode where the queens are tasked with a "Rusical" focusing on the Kardashians. Brown was not given the role of Blac Chyna and voiced her thoughts openly. The moment has been called back in later seasons as well as being a meme online since.
Brown is also known for their popular Website/{{YouTube}} channel with the series, ''Rawview'' where she reviews the latest episodes of ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'', giving unfiltered and sometimes controversial opinions. Brown has also appeared in advertising campaigns for MAC Cosmetics (for their Music/{{Aaliyah}} collection) in 2018 as well as in Paper Magazine, dressed as a humanoid zebra.
!! Selected filmography:
* ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' (2017)
* ''The Real Housewives of Atlanta'' (2017)
* ''{{Rawview}}'' (2019)
!! Nina Bonina Brown provides examples of the below tropes:
* CostumePorn: Nina provided some epic examples of freaky and eccentric runways during ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'', including a metallic alien princess, a peach-headed woman and a faceless lace monster inspired by Music/LadyGaga.
* DespairEventHorizon: Has stated that if she didn't get onto ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' on the ninth season, she would have quit drag as the multiple rejections were exaggerating symptoms of anxiety and depression she was suffering from.
* HerOwnWorstEnemy: Her self doubt eventually got the better of her on ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' and after eliminating a queen and feeling guilty about it, she lands in the bottom two the following week and is eliminated from the competition herself.
* PaperMaster: Her trademark is using unconventional materials in her drag looks, including paper and clay.
* RunningGag: Adding in lots of names into her own name such as Nina Bonina Fofana Osama Bin Laden Brown.
