RuPaul schools straight women on holding bachelorette parties at gay clubs: ‘You better check yourself before you wreck yourself’
RuPaul is weighing in on the popular practice of straight women holding their bachelorette parties at gay clubs.
The Emmy Award-winning host of RuPaul’s Drag Race has this advice – more like warning – for these ladies.
‘You better check yourself before you wreck yourself,’ he says of the radio show Dinner Party Download.
‘You know, this is an important thing. People who live in the mainstream and the status quo think that everyone else is there to serve them.’
It’s clearly part of a bigger issue.
Explains RuPaul: ‘OK, so I’m a brown-skinned gay man, I do drag. Early on, I learned that I could do it well and make money. So people automatically ask me about beauty tips and I get kids who write me and say, “I wish you could do my makeup for my prom?” Or “I wish you could do my makeup for my wedding?” I’m like, “Bitch, I’m not a makeup artist. I’m an entertainer. OK?”’
Because he is a gay man who does drag, RuPaul says people don’t know how to place him in their consciousness.
‘They think “Oh, you must be here to make me look good. That’s what gay guys are right? You’re an accessory for my straight life.” Just because your limited view is that everyone’s there to serve you and that you’re the only person in the world. It doesn’t work that way.’
RuPaul has spoken.
