She was such a luminous presence on HeyKween – so full of energy and joie de vivre. I think many of us expected her to have her #DragRace moment to bring her charm to a wider audience.
The world is less bright now that she’s gone. RIP

I feel frustrated that she never got to be on the show even though she kept trying. I wish even more of the world knew her. It was always a joy”.
