I already made the mistake of spending $60 on RuPaul’s self-made movie entitled Starrbooty, and I’m just not sure that one really worked out for me. His first book is called Lettin’ It All Hang Out, but I can’t seem to find a copy of this book that is available for less than like $50. GuRu is his most recent publication, released in 2018, and Workin’ It! was released in 2010. So RuPaul has written three books in total, although I only have books two and three in my possession. The other quote is, “What other people think of me is none of my business.” I think about this often, especially circling certain events in my life. The first is, “We’re all born naked and the rest is drag.” I love this idea that people get up everyday and whatever you choose to put on your body is your “drag.” I think about this sometimes when I’m getting ready, trying to decide what image of myself I want to project to the world. Some of Ru’s ideas/outlooks on life have really stuck with me – two quotes of his in particular. RuPaul is really an intriguing glamazon of a creature, and I’ve been obsessed for a while now. But instead, I’ve just been laying in quarantine, reading RuPaul’s books, and wishing that things were different. It was supposed to be this weekend, so in a world without COVID I’d be in LA right now ready to meet the queens. It’s literally our favorite weekend of the year, and both LA and NYC were totally out. If you think this book is just about 'doing drag', you are sorely mistaken because for RuPaul, drag is merely a device to deactivate the identity-based ego and allow space for the unlimited.When DragCon was canceled, my friend Rachel and I went into a full on depression. That is RuPaul's secret for success, not only in show business, but in all aspects of life, especially in navigating the emotional landmines that inhibit most sweet, sensitive souls. Once you're willing to look beyond the identity that was given to you, a hidden world of possibilities will open its doors. This unique perspective has allowed RuPaul to break the shackles of self-imposed limitations, but reader beware, this is a daily practice that requires diligence and touchstones to keep you walking in the sunshine of the spirit. G uRu is packed with more than 80 beautiful photographs that illustrate the concept of building the life you want from the outside in and the inside out.Īs someone who has deconstructed life's hilarious facade, RuPaul has broken 'the fourth wall' to expand on the concept of mind, body, and spirit.
