Career
Bones started doing drag at the age of 19 "by accident" after meeting Jodie Harsh and being introduced to the club scene. Bones named herself in the shower after trying to find a name that was neither masculine nor feminine.[1] She is in the same "drag family" as Series 3 winner Krystal Versace and Series 5 contestant DeDeLicious. She was also part of Krystal Versace's BBC reality series Keeping Up with Krystal Versace.[3][4][5]
Bones is part of a drag duo with fellow drag performer Flesh, with whom she has performed at the regular bi-weekly show Heavenly Bodies at Freedom Bar in Soho, London since 2021. She has also hosted a regular drag show, Lana Del Rave, across London, based on the music and styling of American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey.[6][7] Her drag has been described as "gothic glamour",[4] "witchy" and having a "dark element".[1]
Personal life
Greaves is from a village near Manchester and moved to London when he was 18.[7]
Bones uses she/her and they/them pronouns while in drag and he/him pronouns out of drag.[8][9][1] He has a Fine Art degree and is currently based in London.[1]
