About[]
M1ss Jade So, a fashion design student and a queen of impeccable style, lives life as if she were the star of her very own music video. Embracing her identity as a proud transgender woman, she stands as a beacon of unity among her fellow trans women, viewing them not as competitors but as sisters on a shared journey. With a commanding presence as a body queen and a fierce advocate of doll domination, this "power top na bratzy" is prepared to weave a tapestry of unforgettable fantasies that will leave an everlasting impression.[9]
