About Helena
Helena considers herself a cute, classy queen, inspired by the bygone era of the twenties, thirties, and forties, as noted by her surname, Buchanan, a reference to Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby. She takes this and infuses it with latina and Caribbean culture, bringing a tropical twist to a classic look. When glancing at Helena, she turns out to be a relatively unknown queen outside of the Orlando drag circuit, where she's known for her beautiful looks and sickening lip syncs, as well as her God-given ability to sew.
