  • RuPaul is a singer, songwriter, model, actor, TV host -- but probably nothing describes him better then the word "Sensation." He burst onto the scene in the 1990's and told us all "You better work!" Dressed in High Fashion Glam, he broke down barriers for Drag performers and became a household name. With a message of "Love one another", he has recorded with music legends Martha Wash, Diana Ross and Elton John, and has even appeared in both Brady Bunch Movies! On this episode of InnerVIEWS, our conversation with "Supermodel of the World," RuPaul.

    I am a heterosexual woman in her mid-thirties and RuPaul speaks to me just as much as to a young gay man who is struggling with society's and his own acceptance! It takes intelligence, wisdom, kindness and experience to be able to be so broad in your communication! I always liked him but now he is owning a special place in my personal Pantheon!

      Ladies. If you dont know already, check out the channel here where a visionary, sweet man named Nelson Sullivan. You'll see a young RuPaul in NYC in the 80s. You'll get hooked on the channel and videos 😊
