Deborah Ombres

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deborah Ombres (born Javier Díaz, Valladolid, Spain 1975) is a drag queen, conductor and actor. Díaz moved to Madrid to study theatre, dance and martial arts, and started working in theatres with Mamá, quiero ser drágstica (Mummy, I want to be a drag queen) before starting to work for the Spanish division of MTV, MTV Spain in MTV Hot. Díaz has worked in other TV shows: La Selva de los Famosos, CQC and Rompecorazones.

Díaz's stage name, Deborah Ombres, is a play on words in Spanish. It plays on the fact that a) Spanish does not distinguish between the pronunciation of the "b" and the "v"; and b) the "h" is silent. Thus the name Debora is pronounced the same as "Devora" (devourer) and "Hombres". Translated to English, the name means, literally, "Men-Devourer"
