Who is Lil' Poundcake? Here's all about 'RPDR' All-Star winner Alaska and Lineysha Sparx's 'drag daughter'
One of the things we absolutely love about 'Drag Race' is the queens' ability to be unabashedly funny and when they get rolling, you can rest assured that all bets are off. The humor on the show is a combination of smart, sassy, shady and sometimes, downright filthy, all of which have proven to be a winning combination. What fans have come to love about the show is the fact that these queens are allowed to be their naturally funny selves and when they do, they don't hold back.
A lot of the show's shenanigans happen during the mini-challenges, seeing that these are often fun for the queens too. While Season 5 of 'Drag Race' had its fair share of over-the-top drama, it also packed a ton of hilarious moments. And of course, it was the season that gave us Lil' Pound Cake. In Season 5, Episode 3, titled 'Draggle Rock', the queens faced off in a fun mini-challenge, titled 'Little Miss Drag Pageant'. Each queen was given a doll that they had to makeover into the next Miss Junior Drag Superstar -- think ' Toddlers and Tiaras' but the drag version of it. Paired off in teams, the queens had to deck out their dolls, have them walk down a runway and even read out a little bio. When Alaska Thunderf**k and Lineysha Sparx were paired together, little did they know that they'd create a drag legend -- Lil' Poundcake.

Decked out in a pink gown with a giant frown painted on, Lil Poundcake, whose name is 'Gertrude Poundcakenstein', is a life-size doll, whose 'parents' are Alaska Thunderf**k and Lineysha Sparx. As per the bio read out loud by Alaska, Lil' Poundcake's catchphrase is "Your not my real dad and you never will be". Dressed up like a toddler pageant mom herself, Alaska also mentioned that Lil' Poundcake enjoys "ridin' dirty and being a straight-up motherf**kin' d**kpig."
The crude caricature had RuPaul in absolute splits and the pair even went on to win the mini-challenge. But Lil Poundcake's legacy was far from over, seeing that her 'mother' Alaska, had her make a comeback during 'All-Stars' Season 2 for a reveal challenge. Alaska was decked out in all black, only to shed the look to reveal that she had dressed up as the iconic character again, leaving RuPaul and the judges in splits. The character became so iconic, that the queen even marketed the persona and featured her in a music video, 'Puppet', where the Lil' Poundcake loses a pageant and goes insane in the process.
Apart from having her second full-length music album also named 'Poundcake', Alaska began selling recreations of the doll too, which were an instant hit among fans. Lil' Poundcake clearly has quite the legacy of her own!
