But to be able to go on the show and really talk about my family, my house, and what we do and what we love, and show people what we’re capable of, was really great. For so long, a lot of people didn’t necessarily take it seriously, or they looked at us a certain way. That’s kind of what we’ve always wanted as a collective.

Let’s have that for someone.” I want to be that person that I needed to see on TV or in the world. There wasn’t really anything like that back there. It’s truly the type of environment that I feel like as a kid I needed and would have wanted so badly. KING PRINCESS: I’m a huge supporter of House of Avalon.
KING PRINCESS: You literally, simply won. Not to tug your pussy, but you really handled yourself with grace and class. KING PRINCESS: This season was so amazing from start to finish. So the short answer is: I’ve been living my dream. I’ve been doing everything that I’ve want- ed to do. I’ve been doing TV stuff, auditioning for things. I’ve been going to different cities and performing and seeing the fans, which has been really, really fun. So, let’s talk about what you’ve been up to. SYMONE: Could you imagine? Do you think you could handle the girls? The fact that I haven’t been asked to be on is almost criminal.

We’re not here to see perfect women living their perfect lives. There are tears, and you know I love the tears. KING PRINCESS: I’m watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because I cannot get enough of Erika and the drama of her divorce. SYMONE: Which Housewives are you watching? I’m playing Xbox and watching The Real Housewives at the same time. SYMONE: Can you hear me? Can you see me? I got new blackout curtains so it’s real dark in here.
Here, her friend, the musician King Princess, tries to help her process it all. Now, the House of Avalon member is coming to terms with what happens when your dreams become reality. And yet, Symone still had a knack for the outlandish-this is Drag Race, after all-strutting in a dress made from Polaroids of herself, or wearing a fluffy fox get-up that had the furry community thirsting. She also used the runway to make political statements, like when she appeared in a white gown inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement and the words “Say Their Names” emblazoned across her headpiece. Brought to life by Reggie Gavin, who has been performing in drag since 2013, Symone made her mark celebrating the glory of Blackness, like the time she wore a dress made from Senegalese hair twists. So when a 26-year-old performer named Symone snatched the crown in the show’s finale, it was a moment of pure release. Production on the VH1 reality series began two months after the murder of George Floyd, ended two months before the presidential elec- tion, and, of course, took place amidst a pandemic. The 13th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race was filmed during a summer like no other.
