Pretty Pastel Please

We come to you today with a devastating announcement. It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you that Alex, known to many as Pretty Pastel Please, has passed away. Her passing was sudden, unexpected, and devastating to all who knew her.




This is a shock to us all, and her family and friends have requested privacy as they navigate their grief. We would ask that you respect their wishes - they appreciate all of your support but need time to heal in private.




A memorial will be posted on YouTube and Instagram in due course.





Thank you for your understanding at this difficult time.





If you or anyone you know is affected by this news, please reach out for help. You are not alone. In Australia, you can contact Beyond Blue at 1300 22 46 36 for confidential, free counselling.

I thought this was about the death of the channel, and then I thought Archie... I genuinely can't believe this... I was just thinking about her and how I hadn't seen her content recently because she's not so much on YouTube and now... I'm so sorry to her loved ones. I don't really know what all was happening in her life recently except a few bits and pieces, but I really had hoped that she could reforge the friendships she lost or get the closure she likely needed. I'm sorry for the loss and thank you to the family member or friend that was kind enough to let us know. Please send our love to Archie and the other birbs too... I am sure they will be lost.

From warning me and the rest of your viewers to not get an ekkie in all your earlier videos, to learning how to care for my own Archie, you’ve been my first bird mum inspiration.🩷 the bird stays 🩷 rest easy Pretty Pastel Queen. You will be deeply misse

My brain refuses to accept that this is real? There's just no way?! I'm so heartbroken. I've been watching her since like 2018.. Rest in peace sweet girl.. I'm so sorry to her family, friends, and her community.

I've been quietly processing this all day. I keep getting waves of sadness. The picture used is such a pretty photo of Alex, and although she has since said that her pretty pastel please days weren't the REAL her, that is how I will remember her - beautiful, radiant, and ofcourse - with Archie 💚 x

The fact that we just saw her on a live stream like 10 or so days ago and now she’s gone… I just can’t fathom this. She was a bright light to those of us who loved fashion. May she rest in peace

Whoever is currently editing / forming the video, please note that your work is incredibly appreciated. This must be so difficult. I still come back to this channel every so often in case my subscription didn't notify me. I know this is incredibly selfish of me but I feel like I'm holding on to her still. I know she is gone but I am still holding on.

This is a terrible tragedy. Irrespective of whether it was due to failing mental health, an accident or other health issues, I think we can all agree that 30 is far too young. Poor woman certainly had her battles, which she was generous enough to share with us. Her life seemed messy, complicated and difficult on many occasions, and none of us, her included, deserve that much pain. Neither did she deserve the often harsh scrutiny she incurred as a result of her opening the door on her life to us. She and her personal life, and those involved in it, deserve respect, especially now more than ever. If we can’t find empathy for her now, what does that say about us? She was so much more than her mental health. We also got to see her shine and sparkle. A highly intelligent and quick witted woman. I’m glad some of those videos continue to live on so that while we have a record of her facing much darkness, we also have a record of her humour, her analytical mind, her playfulness. Rest well, Alex. You deserve peace.

'From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them, and that is eternity.' -Edvard Munch Alex, I hope you found eternity in pastel colored flowers. We love you. You continue to be a light in this world. Thank you for sharing it with us for all these years.

I'm so far from the target demographic for Alex's content but one day many years ago, the algorithm blessed my timeline with her content. I really hadn't seen any of her recent ongoing pain, so this has come as a real shock. I'll remember her as the principled vlogger righteously mad about rip-off makeup influencers. To whoever is monitoring, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm at a loss. Healthy grieving to those she loved and loved her back. May she be at peace in her own personal bird sanctuary she so deserves.

I was suddenly reminded of Alex tonight after not seeing her videos in a long time. I wondered how her channel was doing and checked in to see this. I am shocked and my sincerest condolences to her family, friends and birds. All I can say is her channel brought me much warmth and happiness during the pandemic and the world is a little less bright without her.

I was one of her first 1000 subscribers right before she blew up. She was always such a light, even on her bad days, just seeing her fighting made me want to fight too. Love you Alex ❤️

Alexandria was a core part of my childhood and seeing this news absolutely crushed me. I can't even begin to comprehend that this is real. May her soul rest easy

Was thinking about Alex tonight while working the graveshift at work, and came to see if the memorial video had been posted yet. I didn't faithfully watch her videos, but whenever I did I always enjoyed Alex's bubbly and positive personality. Even when she was facing challenges in life she always looked for the positives. I hope that you guys her family and friends are doing well and that you are able to put together the memorial video soon. Not for us, but for you.
