There’s a local on the next season of Logo’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race.’’ Gloucester’s own Laila McQueen will be one of the 12 competitors on Season 8 of the show. “Only so many girls get a shot to be a part of this journey and I can’t wait for it to start,’’ McQueen said via e-mail. “The immediate positive attention is overwhelming; my social media are seconds away from crashing.’’ You can see McQueen perform at Ego in Providence on Thursday and at Candibar at Royale in Boston on Sunday. “I’m like the crossbreed between like a cute stripper and then like a punk rock girl,’’ she says, in her “Meet the Queens’’ video on the “Drag Race’’ website. The season premieres March 7 at 9 p.m.
