One King To Rule Them All!

Well another season of @enterthegob has come to a close and I couldn’t happier that @diablo.d.domme took the crown! What a great night! A full venue, creative energy, passion and excitement!

Congratulations @jenna_davinci to for your hard work. Thank you to @djrichardmoon for doing tech week in and week out. Privileged to have been on the mentor panel with both @cripladywood @itsamarise Everyone constant really shone in the final and proved why they were an all star. No one full understands the work we do behind the scene. Well done for bringing out the best in everyone, it was beautiful to see.

Congratulations to @taraluvdrag for having the biggest bravery of anyone. For bringing drag to its political roots, taking on a hugely difficult topic, making it digestible and entertaining. Your drag is exciting and you have the heart of an artists through and though. It was a pleasure to mentor you again. I hope I can still be a part of your exciting journey.

Last but certainly not least @diablo.d.domme You smashed it! You stepped up and you did it. You genuinely believed that you didn’t deserve to be in that final and I know you will have questioned your win. These pictures really capture the heart of those good people around you that celebrate who YOU are and what YOU are trying to do. You are always so ready to help others, no questions asked. You do so much behind the scenes. For some one who claims not to care... you have one of the biggest hearts. I am proud to stand by you, I am proud to have mentored you (undefeated now ;) ) You capture the spirit of the community and scene I grew up in. People will challenge you, bully you and not see the bigger picture. You have wrongfully taken so many batterings. You just needed to straighten your crown so remind people who you are and remind yourself. I am so glad you were seen and celebrated. I will continue to stand by you! You are very much loved and deserve that win <3 Well done for representing so many groups of people... but most of all I couldn’t think of a better king to carry that all star title <3

Massive well done to all the contestants! It was a joy to watch you all shine!
