The Vivienne's publicist, Simon Jones, writes a moving tribute to a client, TV sensation, icon of drag, beautiful human, and dear friend.
Viv became a client, but a really good friend and someone I cared for dearly I first met The Vivienne just after they had won RuPaul’s Drag Race UK in 2019. I was already a huge fan, as I had avidly watched the first season – like much of the country – and was blown away by The Vivienne ’s amazing presence on the show. I was asked if I’d be interested in managing Viv and I jumped at the opportunity, just as the first lockdown approached in 2020.
