REIGNING SUPREME RUPAUL ISN’T A NAME YOU WOULD LIKELY FORGET: His mother intended it that way, “His name is Ru-
Paul Andre Charles and he’s gonna be a star! Cause ain’t another mother f**ker alive with a name like that!” And if you don’t know who he is, you must be living under a giant rock—a stunning rhinestone-encrusted one, but still under it. Ru has been around for quite a while and success has followed him like a well-trained, beautifully groomed lapdog, though I’m visualizing a not-so-obedient shih-tzu. With two books, Lettin’ It All Hang Out andWorkin’ It! RuPaul’s Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style; five
top-selling albums, Supermodel of the World, Foxy Lady, Red Hot, Champion, Glamazon and soon to be six with this month’s release of Born Naked, a talk show, a make-up line called Glamazon with a cologne by the same name and—you heard it first at The Rage Monthly—a namesake candy bar! Things to watch for during the sea- son six premiere of the super-successful drag-star-maker,RuPaul’s Drag Race on LogoMonday, February 24.
