Celebrating Gina LaDivina: A Tribute to a Trailblazing Muse and Eternal Showgirl

It is with heavy hearts we acknowledge the passing of Gina LaDivina. She was a showgirl, a hair goddess, a mentor, and a muse. Unapologetically herself, Gina charted her own path, never suffering fools lightly. She was fiercely loyal and dedicated to her chosen family up until the very end. Throughout her life, Gina fearlessly reinvented herself, often in the face of some harrowing adversity. She was a true trailblazer—outspoken on her views of what it meant to be a trans woman, a pioneer since the 1970s. Gina challenged societal norms, redefining perceptions of aging and remaining a captivating force until her final moments. Her vibrant spirit and fearless advocacy were the inspirations behind the Oasis Arts Legacy Program, ensuring her impact will continue to resonate. We will find a date to throw the ultimate tribute, fitting to a spirit like hers. Details will follow soon. Until then, put on some Shirley Bassey, crack a Dr. Pepper, and raise a glass to the one-and-only Gina LaDivina!
