We would like to thank you for supporting Vinny & Ben in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Ben was hosting his weekly drag show in Phoenix as Benaddiction when Vinny spotted him from across the room—starstruck but keeping cool. A week later, while Vinny was out of town, Ben slid into the DMs. Their first date happened soon after, and the connection just clicked—easy, real, and kind of inevitable. Since then, it’s been the two of them: supportive, silly, and always showing up for each other.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our trip to Puerto Vallarta in March stands out. We spent a whole day on an off-the-grid adventure—boats, zip lines, waterfalls—the works. The rest of the trip was slower: walking through town, trying local spots, just being together without much of a plan. It felt like the perfect mix of chaos and calm, and it’s still one of our favorite times.
What would you do with $20,000?Ben is a full-time drag performer who also helps care for his parents, and Vinny teaches high school theatre. They’re moving in together, and between family responsibilities, career hustle, and everyday expenses, the financial pressure adds up. The $20,000 would ease that stress—helping pay off debt and giving them room to grow, both together and individually.
