Well kids, mom got the Covid. I got tested after finding out I had been in contact with a few others early last week in Toronto, during tour break, who tested positive…and it turns out I was as well. I am all tucked away in my quarantine and I’m doing just fine. Symptoms are very mild and for that I am grateful. I’m super upset that I will be missing some of the Canada’s drag race Drive and Drag tour. But the good news is I have been given the clear to be out of quarantine in time for the Ottawa shows next week. Health permitting of course. Please be careful out there. This can happen to ANYBODY at anytime. I followed the rules, and it still got me. Wash your hands, wear a mask, be kind and VOTE! And please enjoy this picture by @asquaredphoto of me looking like the ONLY BITCH!
