    I think it's cute that 29-year old RuPaul said he was 23 years old at 1:03. Young Ru is adorable!

    Ah! His mom uses the word "ignorant" to mean stupid, just like my mom. I'm crying. This video is amazing.

    He has my Grandpa's birthday! My Grandpa recently crossed over. He was like Ru in many ways: eternally positive, eccentric, charismatic, & forever strategizing his path out of a lacklustre reality! Love you Grandpa! Thanks for the inspiration

    Lady Charles reminds me of my late grandmom...obsessed with those things and yelling insults at all of us while we laugh it out. And the pijamas always in pijamas

      I've been wondering that as well. All I've read is that Rupaul attended what was Gompers Jr. High and then Patrick Henry High. www.newnownext.com/happy-birthday-to-rupaul-shes-50-she-can-kick-and-stretch-and-wuuuuuurrrk/11/2010/
