# Hormona Lisa
**Hormona Lisa** is the drag persona of Jodie Jean Noel Corbin,[9](https://hormonalisa.com/) a drag queen from [Chattanooga, Tennessee](https://www.edgepedia.org/chattanooga-tennessee).[2](https://bracketology.tv/drag-race/contestants/hormona-lisa) She competed on season 17 of *RuPaul's Drag Race*, finishing 12th after being eliminated in episode 6.[3](https://rupaulsdragrace.fandom.com/wiki/Hormona_Lisa) Rather than through a standard audition, she was hand-picked by RuPaul during the Atlanta stop of *The House of Hidden Meanings* book tour.[1](https://www.pride.com/culture/interviews/hormona-lisa-interview) Her name puns on "hormone" or "hormonal" and [Leonardo da Vinci](https://www.edgepedia.org/leonardo-da-vinci)'s painting the *Mona Lisa*, and in 2025 she released the singles "Seasonal Depression" and "No More Rhinestones."[4](https://music.apple.com/us/artist/hormona-lisa/1786181875)
She is from Chattanooga, Tennessee, and entered the competition through an unusual route: she was hand-picked by RuPaul during the Atlanta stop of *The House of Hidden Meanings* book tour rather than through the standard audition process.[1](https://www.pride.com/culture/interviews/hormona-lisa-interview)

## Name and persona
The drag name combines "hormone" or "hormonal" with the *Mona Lisa*, the painting by Leonardo da Vinci.[3](https://rupaulsdragrace.fandom.com/wiki/Hormona_Lisa) Corbin has explained the "hormone" element as a reference to her "a little wack-a-doodle" personality.[10](https://networthlist.org/hormona-lisa) Her stage persona, which she calls "the Bubblegum Babe," leans on a retro glam aesthetic built around pink tones, and she has been introduced as Chattanooga's "pastel princess."[5](https://www.hormonalisa.com/home) • [6](https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/3135250/hello-hello-hello-1x03-hormona-lisa)
## RuPaul's Drag Race season 17
Hormona Lisa competed on season 17 of *RuPaul's Drag Race*, which aired in 2025. According to press coverage and her own account, she was not cast through an audition tape; in what the coverage describes as an unprecedented move, she approached RuPaul at a book signing in Atlanta and was invited onto the show.[1](https://www.pride.com/culture/interviews/hormona-lisa-interview) She said the selection did not add pressure for her because she felt she had earned the place on her own merit.[1](https://www.pride.com/culture/interviews/hormona-lisa-interview)
Her entrance created tension within the season 17 cast, which she attributed to the other queens viewing her as a presumptive winner because of the personal selection.[1](https://www.pride.com/culture/interviews/hormona-lisa-interview) She was eliminated in episode 6, finishing 12th, after losing a Lip Sync LaLaPaRuZa smackdown to Lydia B. Kollins, who performed to [Liza Minnelli](https://www.edgepedia.org/liza-minnelli)'s "Liza with a Z."[3](https://rupaulsdragrace.fandom.com/wiki/Hormona_Lisa) • [7](https://www.pride.com/culture/interviews/hormona-lisa) She later said she did not know the words to the song and speculated about throwing the lip sync because "Lydia needed the money more than I did."[7](https://www.pride.com/culture/interviews/hormona-lisa)
**The Badonka Dunk Tank.** Season 17 introduced a twist that let eliminated queens pull levers for a chance at immunity. Hormona Lisa became the first queen to drop [Michelle Visage](https://www.edgepedia.org/michelle-visage) into the tank and save herself from elimination, a moment she discussed in a post-season interview.[8](https://werrrk.com/2025/02/13/hormona-lisa-talks-her-drag-race-experience-family-her-s17-sisters/)
**Rhinestone-gate.** A widely discussed confrontation with fellow contestant [Lexi Love](https://www.edgepedia.org/lexi-love) over a stoned gown became known as "rhinestone-gate." In a February 2025 interview, Hormona Lisa gave her account: Lexi Love had predicted the challenge placements, saw the gown, and accused her of cheating, which Hormona Lisa characterized as a tantrum rather than being "let have it."[1](https://www.pride.com/culture/interviews/hormona-lisa-interview)
## Identity and advocacy
Hormona Lisa has spoken publicly about her journey as a trans woman from the South and about her autism diagnosis, and she attributes her early reveal removals in the LaLaPaRuZa lip sync to sensory discomfort rather than strategy.[7](https://www.pride.com/culture/interviews/hormona-lisa) In interviews she has emphasized her close family ties, noting that as a trans person in the South she considers that closeness unusual and meaningful, and she wore her mother's sweater in her confessionals on the show.[8](https://werrrk.com/2025/02/13/hormona-lisa-talks-her-drag-race-experience-family-her-s17-sisters/)
## Work after Drag Race
She released the singles "Seasonal Depression" and "No More Rhinestones" in 2025.[4](https://music.apple.com/us/artist/hormona-lisa/1786181875) She appeared at the WorldPride SADBrunch in Washington, D.C. alongside season 17 castmates Lana Ja'Rae and Crystal Envy, and she has continued making appearances at drag events, including DragCon UK.[7](https://www.pride.com/culture/interviews/hormona-lisa) • [6](https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/3135250/hello-hello-hello-1x03-hormona-lisa)
