Them Superlatives are awards for our favorite people made up by our favorite people.
To honor RuPaul, who first appeared on our TV screens 44 years ago, we asked Jujubee, who acts alongside the Drag Race host in Stop! That! Train!, to pay her respects. In the film, RuPaul plays the hilariously named Judy Gagwell, a U.S. president (and Train Force veteran) whose campaign slogan was, simply, “She fun!”
Read Jujubee’s tribute below:
Listen up, sweetie. I have worked alongside RuPaul on a train hurtling into a “stormaganza” at like a thousand miles per hour, and I am here to tell you: RuPaul Charles was born to be the leader of the free world. First of all, the name alone: President Judy Gagwell. Iconic. She could easily fulfill the role of Secretary of Sickening but she’s bigger than that. She is not just the leader we deserve she is the SHE-E-O we need right now.
But honestly? What makes Ru presidential is this: She walks into any room — the Oval Office, a werkroom, a speeding luxury bullet train — and the energy shifts. Everyone stands up straighter. Everyone wants to be better.
So, yes. Most Likely to Be President. Obviously. So snatch your one-way ticket on the RuPaul Train.
Love, Jujubee aka DeeDee aka Choo Choo Bee
