JENNY
SAISQUOI
WHAT GIVES JENNY HER 'JE NE SAIS QUOI'
In 2024, Jenny held her first drag performance, where she wowed the audience by rapping live half way through a lip-sync to Nicki Minaj's smash hit 'Anaconda'. Jenny's name came from an unusual place. In 2017 she lost sight in one of her eyes due to a rare form of arthritis, because of this she started her journey under the name 'Eyeconic' but felt it didn't feel right. Suddenly whilst out shopping, in full drag, it came to her. 'Jenny Saisquoi' a fusion of Jenny from Forest Gump and 'Je Ne Sais Quoi' a French word meaning 'I don't know' or 'a quality which cannot be described'. The Jenny part came from a dark place in her life. After her father suffered a stroke in 2010 he was frequently compared to Forest Gump so as a sign of rebellion she chose Jenny and Jenny Saisquoi was born.
