This week on Hey Qween, Jonny McGovern<\/strong> and the Gang take a dip into the cool, refreshing waters of one of the Great Lakes… Darienne Lake<\/strong> that is!<\/p>\n

The “RuPaul’s Drag Race<\/strong>” season six stars has finally made her way to the glitter couch and she has quite a bit to say.<\/p>\n

During her interview, Darienne revealed that while “Drag Race” brought her fame and financial success, it also resulted in something she didn’t expect.<\/p>\n

“In my life, I never thought I was going to make new friends at my age,” she explains. “But we just had such a great comradery on the show.”<\/p>\n

Darienne says she and her fellow cast mates (also the show’s Top 3), Bianca Del Rio, Adore Delano and Courtney Act<\/strong> had built a bond during filming that changed her outlook on life.<\/p>\n

“We were supposed to be on ice and not talk to each other, but me, Bianca, Adore, Courtney, BenDelaCreme<\/strong> and Jocelyn Fox<\/strong> would all have coffee together on set and we just had such a great connection,” Darienne reveals. “And it’s just so happens that we all ended up in the top together.”<\/p>\n

And the friendship didn’t end when the cameras stopped rolling. According to Darienne they still text each other in their longstanding group chat.<\/p>\n

“[The group chat] still going. I should really print it all out and incriminated all of us, but it really is such a heartwarming thing I have with them. When all four of us are together it really is magic.”<\/p>\n

For Darienne, the experience has put it all in perspective.<\/p>\n

“Now I know, you’re never to old to find friends and you’re never to old to give up on your family and have them come back to you. I learned so much and it really was a spiritual awakening.”<\/p>\n
