BIOGRAPHy

You better work! RuPaul first became widely known in the 1990s when he appeared in a wide variety of television programs, films, and musical albums. Previously, he was a fixture on the Atlanta and New York City club scenes during the 1980s and early ’90s. RuPaul has on occasion performed as a man in a number of roles, usually billed as RuPaul Charles. RuPaul is noted among famous drag queens for his indifference towards the gender-specific pronouns used to address him—both “he” and “she” have been deemed acceptable. “You can call me he. You can call me she. You can call me Regis and Kathie Lee; I don’t care! Just as long as you call me.” Of course, RuPaul is well known for his/her hit song, “Supermodel.” RuPaul released Butch Queen in 2016. RuPaul continues to tour the world with her/his unique style. RuPaul is lots of fun!
