The Ebony Enchantress is now officially a doll!
After winning
season 13, Symone had one of the most successful reigns in RuPaul’s Drag Race herstory.
Even after her reign has come to an end with the crowning of Willow Pill as the
winner of season 14, Symone continues to take drag further than ever into the
mainstream.
In the heels
of promoting her appearance in the new gay rom-com Bros, Symone has now also been
turned into an official Good Luck Trolls doll. During an interview with Nylon, Symone revealed that she underwent her Trollify
transformation as a partnership with NBCUniversal that included a donation to
Lucie’s Place, “an Arkansas-based nonprofit that provides LGBTQIA+ young adults
experiencing homelessness with resources from toiletries and clothing to
housing solutions including rental and utility assistance programs.”
Symone
described her special Trolls edition as “something everyone could see a piece
of themselves in. It’s a very joyous doll.”
In the
meantime, Forever 21 has also launched a new capsule collection
that includes a limited-edition crop tee directly inspired by Symone’s Trolls
doll. It seems like the ultimate fashion queen of Drag Race season 13 is
still managing to leave her mark in the world.
“Whatever you
want to do, you can,” Symone told the publication. “Nothing is out of reach for
you. Nothing is impossible for you, no matter where you come from, no matter
your circumstances... If you want to do it, and it makes you happy and you
ain’t hurting nobody, go for it. Because it’s there for you. You just gotta
want it. You just gotta work for it. You just gotta be brave enough to allow
yourself to have it.”
