RuPaul: Designed to ignite or destined to burn out?
Now RuPaul’s drag race was off to a rocky start horrendous beginning, and one can’t help but see her using the show as a come-back tactic, for a new album, etc. The contestants were a horrible mishap, but her efforts to bring drag culture to the forefront of American Television cannot be overlooked.
Her latest video, shown above, has a catchy beat unique play reminiscent of her older hits, but yet still feels outdated.
Would love to hear your thoughts on Ms. RuPaul’s latest video creation.

I love this video. I love Drag Race. And I have always loved RuPaul’s message.
“If you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you going to love somebody else?”
