Ru's new show, 'Drag University'
Ru is working on a new reality show, to start airing in June this year on Logo.
She Better Work: RuPaul on Queens Having Kids, the Wisdom of Cher and Expanding Her Drag Empire
Extract: "We do have another show coming up. It’s called RuPaul’s Drag University which starts filming in March. The show invites real women to the Drag University — Drag U. — and they are not made over, but they undergo a psychological evaluation to determine when they gave up on themselves. Drag U. teaches them how to own their power and to stop playing small. Ultimately, they graduate at the end of the show with their newly empowered, made-over self. The professors at Drag U. are some of the kids from Drag Race and also some of the drag legends. I think everybody could learn from the kind of self-reinvention that drag teaches. Everyone could reemerge and reinvent themselves through the process, but once it’s done, you have to maintain it (...) I am, of course, the Dean of the University."

Damn, RuPaul can dream it and I'll go for the ride. This sounds pretty cool. I hope that they choose down-to -earth girls though.

That being said, when I saw this article I was hoping we would be seeing a version of RuPaul's School For Girrrrrrrrlssssss a la "Gone With The Window," where we see aspiring drag princesses go from afro wigs and balloon boobies to Drag Race worthy queens. An ordinary makeover show, I'm no so jazzed about.
