What's funny is that RuPaul was never, ever part of the Ball World of NYC. Ru ran with the Limeiight crowd, a very East Village crowd back in the day. "Touch this skin. Touch all of this skin... overgrown orangutan' is of course a line uttered by Venus Xtravaganza in 'Paris is Burning.' I would like to think that Ru pays homage to Venus, as at the time, Ru did not know Venus nor did she run with the Ball crowd.
@Glenn1441 Ditto for the phrase 'Tens across the board...' That's ball lingo. Period. It wasn't until 'the second ' Love Ball' of 1990 that the Harlem Ball and the East Village / Limelight Queen worlds would meet... By that time, Madonna's 'Vogue' was a hit, and the video of course featured several Xtravaganza children... As the saying goes, 'It's all good...' Just wanted to point out that quite often, RuPaul is paying homage to a world she was not part of... And it's all good.
Ok this really freaks me out cuz hes a boy and he looks like a real girl!!!!! I love this vid but I think its weird when he says "Your a overgrown arangatain!" REALLY!
