I’m sorry, but I just love RuPaul. Everything I’ve ever seen or heard or read from him is just pure magic. Sadly, we’ve never talked much about him around these parts, which leads me to believe that some people might not be aware of just how magical he is. Luckily, RuPaul has decided to help educate people on how wonderful he is by sharing a list of 25 things we might not know about him:
