Spankie Jackzon is the professional alias of Blair Macbeth (born 4 November 1984), a drag artist from New Zealand. She rose to widespread recognition after securing the championship in the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under in 2022. Prior to this, she claimed victory in the second season of New Zealand's House of Drag in 2020. In 2024, she was appointed as a judge on Drag Race Down Under.
Career
Originating from Palmerston North, Jackzon initiated her drag career in 2005 and subsequently relocated to Melbourne to broaden her involvement in the nightlife scene, at one stage managing eight club residencies concurrently.
In 2020, she participated as an "intruder" contestant on the second season of New Zealand's House of Drag, ultimately winning the series by surpassing finalist Elektra Shock.
Jackzon competed on the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under in 2022, claiming three main challenge victories and securing the overall title ahead of finalists Hannah Conda and Kween Kong. The crown was awarded by Kita Mean, host of House of Drag and winner of the inaugural season of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under, marking their second joint televised crowning event.
In 2024, Spankie took part in season 8 of Celebrity Treasure Island, but withdrew due to medical reasons following a demanding swimming challenge, attributing her decision to a decrease in fitness since her high school swimming days.
