The four-time Emmy-winning reality series began as a countercultural phenomenon during President G.W. Bush's administration, launching amidst the excitement of the Obama era. Over thirteen years and approximately 160 drag queens later, its impact on language and style has permeated mainstream culture, establishing a significant place in history. With a diverse audience ranging from Congress to Wall Street and small towns, the show has evolved into a global sensation. This narrative chronicles its first decade and 14 seasons, weaving together the experiences of creators, contestants, crew, judges, and notable fans. It highlights RuPaul's 34-year partnership with World of Wonder Productions, which propelled him to fame and led to the creation of a drag reality show. The evolution of the series and its queens is explored through memorable moments, including Ongina's courageous HIV+ revelation and Asia O'Hara's butterfly finale mishap. With a blend of humor, drama, and inspiration, the series reflects the cultural and political landscape of its time. Its extraordinary journey to becoming a landmark success story is presented in vibrant, candid detail.
