TRIVIA:
[•] RuPaul's music career remains most noted for his 1992 smash hit, "Supermodel (You Better Work)". Strangely, he was nominated for a Grammy award for best comedy recording for "Strudelmodel," which was a spoof of "Supermodel (You Better Work)" appearing on a B-side to the single "Back to My Roots". The track featured RuPaul affecting a German accent and altering the theme accordingly: "Once upon a time there was a little black girl in the Brewster Projects of Hamburg, Germany..."
[•] RuPaul is noted amongst famous drag queens for his ambivalence towards the gender-specific pronouns used to address him - both "he" and "she" have been deemed acceptable.
[•] RuPaul once said, "I do not impersonate females. How many women do you know who wear seven-inch heels, four-foot wigs, and skintight dresses?" .
