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.

RuPaul and the Obama's. He's a man with tons of makeup to change his whole appearance. I am so sick and tired of white people talking about Michelle Obama's body and facial features. If they would look back at all the previous president wives, tell me who was so beautiful? If you are going to say Jackie Kennedy, I beg to differ. She was skinny and looked like a fox or some other animal. All of you white people hung up on size. Well keep killing yourselves with starvation to be skinny, if that is what you want to do. But, you no longer make the rule that skinny is what you have to be to be accepted in this society. There is nothing wrong with Michelle Obama, she has the hips that all of you haters are getting butt implants, and for her bow legs, she was born with them, so what is she suppose to do, not be the First Lady because she has bow legs. Get a grip you people. Stand in front of the mirror and judge yourselves first. Start at your head, and work your way down to your feet. Find anything not acceptable in this society? And what about her facial features. I find nothing wrong. She doesn't wear tons of makeup. Take the makeup off of all your so called beautiful women and see what you find.
