The Emmy Award-winning host of RuPaul’s Drag Race has some SERIOUS advice (and a touch of shade) for the straight mainstream world,
“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. 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?'”
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.’”
Mic drop. Mama has spoken.
