We were first introduced to Elaine Lancaster during the second season of the Real Housewives of Miami as one of Lea Black's besties. The fierce and fabulous yet outspoken Miami drag queen recently made headlines when Elaine saved a man from a burning car in Greece.
According to the Miami Herald, Lancaster, whose real name is James Davis, saw a car in distress just after midnight Friday outside the villa where she's staying. Lancaster went out to help and noticed the car was on fire.
“I could smell they were burning the clutch,” she told the Herald. “I said to the guy, ‘The car is on fire — I smell it.’ The girl says, that’s OK, OK.' I said, ‘No, I see flames.’”
Two men and one woman were in the car, and all but one of the men managed to get out of the car in time.
“The guy on the passenger side, he sees fire coming out of the hood. It’s almost like he's hypnotized. He’s frozen. He keeps staring at the hood," Lancaster continued. “I ran up the stairs and hopped over a little wall to get to the passenger side. The window was halfway down. I reached in and pushed his seat belt button. I opened the car door and grabbed him by the arm. He stood up in a daze."
The man later thanked Lancaster for saving his life. Lancaster was not in drag at the time.
Fellow drag queen Brooks calls Lancaster a "shero," while RuPaul's bestie Lady Bunny took to Facebook to joke, "In truth, the man was fleeing the scene of of one of her performances, and he must have had some really good drugs on him for her to risk her life."
Lancaster sure is a real life super-shero, all we gotta say is SHANTAY YOU STAY!
