My best friend and sister Lady Red Couture has passed. I am shocked and devastated. I never believed we would lose her like this. Please know this is real and it hurts so bad RIP @mothercouture I love you baby.

Wehoville reports: “Baines, a West Hollywood resident, was an actress who performed in  ‘Leave It on the Floor’ (2011), ‘Judge Lady Red’  (2015), and ‘Jonny McGovern: Dickmatized’ (2011). Baines also was known as the ‘security diva’ at Gym Bar, the popular West Hollywood gay sports bar, which closed recently.  And she stood out for her height — 6 feet, 7 inches. ‘When wearing full drag and heels, she stands at 7 feet, 2 inches tall, and as a result, has nicknamed herself ‘the world’s largest drag queen in captivity’,’ says her IMDb profile.”

A few reactions to Lady Red’s passing:

Sending my love to u @GayPimp and all her family/friends in this immense time of loss. Lady Red. I can’t believe this. 💔 she was such a joy of a person. Her laugh. Her smile.

I am so heartbroken by the news of our Lady Red Couture passing away. She was a true sister and friend to everyone she met. One of the kindest souls I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. Can 2020 just fuck off already? pic.twitter.com/jFOiOX9lTD
