RuPaul always knew how to make heads turn.
Even 15 years after he hit the top of the 'Billboard' charts with his dance music anthem 'Supermodel,' the famous transvestite is at it again – and this time, he's feeling presidential.
BlackVoices.com obtained a copy of the gender bender's "Holiday Card," featuring him as President-elect Barack Obama and the future First Lady Michelle Obama.
"RuPaul celebrates the holidays and the history-making Obamas in a commemorative holiday card of presidential proportions," a spokesperson said.
This double-exposure opens the door for what he has in store with his latest showbiz endeavor.
RuPaul (nee Rupaul Andre Charles) will break new ground as the host, mentor and judge of one-of-a-kind reality competition: 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' which will be exclusively presented by Absolut Vodka when it premieres on Viacom's LOGO network Feb. 2.

I agree with some of the others. RuPaul is much better looking than Michelle Obama. Michelle is not very pretty. I'm sure she is a nice lady but the looks are not there. She better buy beautiful clothes to distract from her looks... :)
