Speaking about his passion for fashion, Gigi said[2]
“My female idols weren’t Britney or Beyoncé…. My women icons were the illustrations on clothing patterns, those disproportionate women in these insane poses wearing the most incredible things. I stretch my ankles in a way where I can pose them like that, and it’s definitely not good for me, but it’s that unrealistic beauty I try to hard to reach,”[2]
“I love getting out onstage as a pretty fashion girl and striking a pose, but as soon as the song starts, my jaw is on the floor, my eyes are as wide as they can be, I’m shaking and grooving….
like a giant spaghetti noodle in fashion,” [2]
Goode says.
“I don’t care if I look a fool.
A lot of queens have a tendency to be careful with what they do so they don’t mess anything up,”
he finishes, pausing briefly
“F— that"
He enjoys doing photography in his spare time.
