A psychic told RuPaul's mother she'd have a famous son - so she named him RuPaul because "ain't another man alive with a name like that." That prophecy? It came spectacularly true. In 1994, at the height of the AIDS epidemic, RuPaul became MAC Cosmetics' very first spokesperson - not just their first drag queen, but their first spokesperson ever. Photographed in a red leather corset and thigh-high boots, he fronted the Viva Glam campaign with 100% of proceeds going to the MAC AIDS Fund. While other brands played it safe with conventional supermodels, MAC chose a Black drag queen to fight for the LGBTQ+ community when they needed it most. The campaign has since raised over $500 million. Two years later, RuPaul made history again as the first openly gay Black man to host a national talk show. The RuPaul Show on VH1 welcomed icons like Diana Ross, Cher, and Nirvana, but it also fearlessly tackled Black empowerment, misogyny, and liberal politics - topics that were virtually unheard of on 1990s television. Then in 2009, he launched RuPaul's Drag Race - and changed everything. The show has become a cultural phenomenon, winning multiple Emmys and giving drag queens a global platform to share their stories of coming out, resilience, and triumph. Happy 65th birthday to the supermodel of the world!
