Paolo Ballesteros Instagram – ICON. LEGEND. STAR. Transforming from one powerful persona to the next, @pochoy_29 #PaoloBallesteros embodies each one with grace and fiery passion. Like the goddess of harvest, this gold gown symbolizes birth and hope—something #drag fulfills as the queen transforms herself into a new persona. Complimented by the “Pearl of the Orient” that rises above the sea—a symbol of resilience and fluidity. And lastly, cunning and fierce like the rings of fire, this dress in red symbolizes the strength of a queen that has triumphed above it all.
