🌹 Meet Rose Rose (@roozrooz879)
Rose Rose, known on TikTok as @roozrooz879, is a rising Ugandan digital star who’s quickly building a reputation as one of East Africa’s curvy content queens. With her fun, confident…
As some of you know, I have friends in the Russian Queen fandom (a handful of lovely Ukrainian and Russian ladies who are translating my writing) and so I was linked to this. It’s an exclusive interview Rosemary Pearson (Rose Rose) gave to the Russian translator of her books. The questions came from people in the main Russian Queen fan forum. The interview was posted in Russian.
Here are some excepts in English.
Question: If you could turn back the clock, would you break up with Freddie again [...] or would you stay in a relationship with him, and what would happen?
Rose: I would break up with him again because he was, well and truly, attracted to men.
Question: Did you share the details of your childhood that you described in ‘Growing Up’ [Rose Rose’s new book, ‘Growing Up With ‘Filthy Lucre’’] with Freddie? If so, how did he react? Did he tell you about his childhood?
Rose: No, we didn’t tell each other about our childhoods, except that he and I went to boarding school. I mentioned this in my book.
[…]
Question: Which album covers and which Queen videos did you find artistically interesting?
Rose: The most interesting for me in that regard is the video clip for “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
Question: What are your favourite Queen or Freddie Mercury songs?
Rose: I like “Bohemian Rhapsody” the most.
Question: Did you and Freddie mostly coincide when it came to your tastes in music and art, or did you often have disagreements?
Rose: At the time, our tastes completely coincided. Jimi Hendrix is still my favorite artist.
Question: Which artists was Freddie particularly drawn to during his years at Ealing College? In your opinion, did Freddie imitate someone in his artistic work during his studies in Ealing? How would you describe his painting style in those days?
Rose: Freddie liked the work of Russian futurists especially and Russian ballet costumes. But, to be honest, he was not particularly interested in anything but his own imagination and the pop culture of the 60s.
[…]
Question: Did you and Freddie give each other gifts (like birthday gifts)? If so, which ones?
Rose: No, we never gifted each other anything. We weren't that sentimental about it.
[…]
Question: Have you seen the 2018 movie Bohemian Rhapsody? If so, how do you feel about the film?
Rose: I’ve seen it. About half of the movie is completely false.
[…]
Question: [...] Not so long ago, [Mary Austin] decided to auction off most of the art collection and personal belongings of Freddie’s. What would you have done with those things if you were Mary?
Rose: If I were Mary, I would donate it all to the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Freddie would have preferred it this way, and it just goes to show how few people really understood him. It’s a shame that it won’t happen, as the museum staff are keen to preserve Freddie’s heritage for future generations. [The Victoria & Albert Museum researcher recently approached Rose for advice about the young Freddie Mercury’s interest in the museum’s expositions, in particular, of Russian ballet costumes, but this is a different story. - Note by the interviewer].
Question: What would you say to Freddie if you had the chance?
Rose: I’d say, “I’m so happy that you were able to realise your potential in such a brilliant way!”
[…]
Question: How do you respond to criticism of your work?
Rose: I ignore it!
Question: Did any of your children inherit your desire to become an artist?
Rose: No, they all hate what I do.
[…]
Question: What creative ideas or projects would you like to accomplish, but lack the opportunity? Does it bother you or do you prefer to focus on achievable goals?
Rose: I’ve done everything I wanted to do.

Honestly, I liked Rose Rose always, but now I properly love this woman. What a legend.
