Music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, makeup, and now literature. RuPaul Charles has built an empire around the brand of RuPaul. Coincidently, she is also the reason that I have been a huge drag fan, well that and because my first love was a drag queen, as well. I was first introduced to her by the first love of my life in a movie titled Wigstock and have been an ardent fan ever since. From here meager beginnings as a go-go dancer to her stellar level of fame in RuPaul’s Drag Race, she is an indominable force. It is not often that any trend really survives in gay culture or any culture. She is idolized by some and hated by others, but you cannot deny that she has been a major influence on LGBTQ culture for over 20 years. I realize that when you talk about RuPaul to the LGBTQ community you get varied responses. Something that is more fluff and feel good. So to end out the week, I am opting for a lighter tone.
