  • Faggy Fashion Fridays – Mister RuPaul

    How does a drag queen shine when she’s not dolled up as a lady? RuPaul’s sartorial solution is a kaleidoscope of colorful suits and jackets. The ensembles include loads of stripes and patterns, which Ru boldly mixes together for his TV shows and the red carpet! No wig necessary!  

  • Justin Vivian Bond Mad At Mainstream Press—Again!
