“The way you fierced Middle-America with your thong-and-boots model stomp into that truckstop Diary Queen will be a moment I’ll never forget … ”
An amazingly sad evening, as news that The Steve Lady, stunning drag queen, winner of the first Miss Trannyshack, and, really, just a fierce human, a paragon of class and sexiness, with always a hilariously kind and sisterly word for me, has passed on. I use the word legendary a lot, but The Steve Lady really was it.
Tribute to the Steve Lady
From Juanita More’s Web site:
Dear Friends,
The Steve Lady passed away peacefully at home with her partner and father at her side. Over the past couple of weeks the notes that you left for her were shared with The Lady at her bedside. She was floored by your messages of love.
There will be a celebration of his life in San Francisco, date and time to come.
Love, Juanita
Read the many messages of love. You can help with donations, etc here.
The Steve Lady will be incredibly, sorely missed.
