I don't remember being this saddened by the departure of a cast player since the exit of the #NotReadyForPrimeTimePlayers Even tho I knew this day was inevitable, I was not in any way prepared for the very real good byes of #KateMcKinnon and #PeteDavidson They will be sooo missed!!

@lesdogggg it was cool of u to shout out @ellenkleghorn on @nbcsnl #blackhistorymonth, but the late #DanitraVance was the 1st black woman to be added to the #NotReadyForPrimeTimePlayers (they were still called that when she joined) She passed away at 40 of breast cancer #DanitraVanceForeverInOurHearts #DanitraVanceRIP https://www.instagram.com/packerbackercat7/p/Buh9dr1HwBT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9d1n5tf8jnb9

I realized a childhood dream yesterday at #Monsterpalooza when I met @larainenewman ❤️❤️❤️ I grew up watching the original #notreadyforprimetimeplayers on #saturdaynightlive what a great show! I couldn't get enough of #larainenewman #gildaradner #misterbill #mistermike #jimbelushi #danakroyd #chevychase #garretmorris #janecurtin PLUS the musical performances rocked my world of greats like #davidbowie #katebush and #garynewman ❤️❤️❤️ Laraine was such a sweetie luckily my friends @bettydrapers_fatsuit and @jonschnepp made the effort to come by and say hello! What a great day! #Disasterina #dragqueen #dragmakeup #draglife #bugqueen #johnwaters #roachdress #prettyinpink
