Rebecca Glasscock also know as Javier José Rivera Nieves[1] is a former Puerto Rican drag performer and one of the contestant of Season 1 of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Javier is currently still working as an Actor, singer, professional MUA[2] and flight attendant[3], but has retired his drag persona. Though making a brief comeback for the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race (Season 10).[4]
Drag Name Origin[]
When coming up with a new name she chose "Rebecca" as her first name, because it was one of her best friends' name. Her last name came into existence driving to a water park with her drag mother. While reading the classifieds on the back of a gay magazine, which she usually did to practice her English out loud. One guy's ad peeked her interest, "Blonde, blue eyes, muscular, total boyfriend material", his last name happened to be "Glasscock", making them both burst out into laughter. And so she adapted the name.[5]
Her drag name was originally "Roxy Lame".[1]
