    Agree, it wasn’t a gag just to be a gag, it was a gag that fit and was new and fresh, and felt so emotional when it happened. I loved it.

    Sasha is one of the most serious artists to come out of the Drag Race universe. Her work is the REAL deal. Like Guggenheim/MoMA real!

    • @sandra-jones
      @sandra-jones 4 роки тому +5

      Genesis Kravitz Sasha is amazing, her Art is beautiful but the NoNamed Neighborhood Museum of Art is just as important as MoMA. Sasha would be the first to say you should not dismiss or put down one for the other. What she does is incredible and I'm sure she is so proud of it. I can imagine Aja or any of the Qweens would say and feel the same about their art. Please know that I'm not coming for you just trying to spread love. Like a peanut butter sandwich you want it to touch all corners.

      @@genesiskravitz8621 the comment was not meant to come for you. It was simply an observation and a metaphor of Sasha's inclusive nature. I did not say that you mentioned any other Museum other than the two that you did mention. Again I believe you have misunderstood my comment. Read it again with the mindset that it is not an attack. Just a simple comment. I know that youtube is frought with attacks and biting comments but this is not one.

    Sasha you asked what does the rose petal wig reveal mean to me? I'll tell you... It was the moment when we all saw the power of the crown shifted to you--we all knew at that moment that you were our new Queen. You are a magician or more fitting--a wizard, I love your mind, how can I get one like that?

  • @joemawatkins

    An artist on a grand scale. Embodies the essence of Male and female In such dramatic ways and has the ability to utterly transform and pays attention to the smallest detail. Deeply intelligent and intuitive which characterises the greatest performers of all time. I really hope he she becomes widely known and respected way beyond the drag or gay scene
