Itong mga looks na ito is in collaboration with a lot of Filipino designers, wigmakers, accessory designers, up to creatives.” she added.</p><p>The drag superstar feels flattered when fans call some of her looks &quot;iconic.&quot;</p><p>“I think ang sarap sa feeling na matawag na ‘iconic’ &#x27;yung looks, kasi ibig sabihin, may nanonood. May merong nagpe-pay attention sa ginagawa mo as an artist. And as a storyteller, it gives me more fuel and fire to just pursue, ibuhos lahat ng passion ko to my drag,” she said.</p><p>For 2025, Marina plans to do a lot of touring and will be playing Glinda in ‘Wizard of Oz’.</p><p>“This year was my first world tour. And next year, we’ll be continuing that. I will be doing an Adult Panto tour in the UK. I will be playing Glinda in ‘Wizard of Oz’. Then right after that, we’ll be announcing more tours, residences and international appearances,” she said.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q6YOoWpZtkI?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9CHfIF1CNd4?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
