When it comes to hurdling adversity, dismantling stereotypes and maintaining relevance in a fleeting commercial landscape, one is hard-pressed to imagine a more transformative figure than the world s most famous drag queen.
RuPaul, the underground club kid who once slept on city benches in Central Park, now claims a singular career that has shattered boundaries and spanned decades. His crowning achievement includes the cult-hit RuPaul s Drag Race, an uproarious reality show competition sashaying through its sixth season on Logo TV.
RuPaul is by all accounts (including his own) the most famous drag queen in the world. Though it was a career path that both happened upon him unwittingly and took him some time to accept.
An unprecedented smash during the Drag Race once delivered over 1.3 million viewers. Year over year, the numbers keep growing.
Post attributes the success of the show to its “sheer heart” and unique focus on “underdogs coming together to find power as individuals.” But making a show about a disenfranchised community palatable for mainstream audiences -- while still preserving the distinct pizazz and wicked camp of drag culture -- was no small order.
In doing so, RuPaul tapped into the same “emotional GPS” that he’d cultivated as a Supremes-obsessed, bullied young boy growing up in San Diego.
“I was conducting social studies from a very young age. I learned to navigate the world and morph myself in various situations to fit in.
“In conceiving Drag Race, I knew that we had to take sex out of the equation completely,” RuPaul explained. “People are inherently threatened by sexuality. So we emphasize color, texture and showmanship -- the contestants are presented almost like caricatures, or Disney characters.” (Disney characters who regularly compete in “shade”-throwing and bitch-slapping competitions, but still.)

For all its subversive merriment, RuPaul discusses gender-bending with a philosopher s wit and a mentor s heart.
“We live in an ego-based culture, where people are married to absolutes -- the family, the job, the white picket fence.
Drag, by its very nature, mocks identity. It breaks the fourth wall that says None of this is real, and people are threatened by that. But the truth is that we are all shape-shifters every day; we are all God in drag.”
The RuPaul queendom comprises a host of product categories including music, fragrance, makeup, candy and dolls. All are germane to the core brand ethos, RuPaul says, and piggyback on the costly publicity campaign for Drag Race furnished by Logo.
RuPaul s album, Born Naked, for instance, dropped on the very day that the show premiered. His unisex beauty line, dubbed Glamazon, is tied into a storyline.
"All the pieces of the pie create a whole meal,” RuPaul said, adding that he is inspired by the Apple template of products that speak a cohesive language. “Today, consumers want a lifestyle, an aesthetic, a philosophy.”
And his is a brand that relishes in trouncing social norms. The split between Drag Race s male and female viewership is dead even, Logo said. And if the drag community needed more proof that it had strutted triumphantly into mainstream culture, here is more: celebrities like Neil Patrick Harris and Khloe Kardashian made stints as guest judges.
Though he has been in the public eye for decades, RuPaul s career -- and his famous blonde wigs -- have never soared higher.
After serving as a fixture on the club scene in both New York and Atlanta throughout the 80s, RuPaul released the unprecedented hit single Supermodel (You Better Work) in 1992. He then went on to host the short-lived RuPaul Show on VH1 in 1996. Though today these accomplishments seem decades ahead of their time, the entertainer s career was largely stagnant thereafter.
RuPaul insists that he has never been motivated by money or fame: after all, who could fathom that the career path he chose would ever lead to the kind of success that it has?
“In fact,” he said, “I often find myself wondering whether I subconsciously chose this because it would be more difficult -- and more interesting. Maybe I liked the opposition. Maybe I needed it to become who I was meant to be.”
In spite of every obstacle he has faced along the way, RuPaul has maintained the very trait that he says is ultimately responsible for his success: an intrinsic, transcendent kindness. “Above all, I think there is a warmth to my persona,” RuPaul said -- one that is no doubt offset by a vicious stage presence and a cutting propensity for “reads.”
“I have been able to articulate myself in a way that is accessible to people,” he says, “and at the end of the day, they understand that I am coming from a place of love.”
