Jake Lavelle
1974—

This prolific porn star (over 50 films) and massive Madonna fan was memorable in A Matter of Size 2 (2005) and Unzipped (2005) among many others, before starting his own production company in 2007. His flip-flopping scene in his debut, Nasty Nasty (2003), led him to say:
"The whole sexual act...it's a job. Of course, you enjoy doing it."
I respect his process.

The High-Stakes of the Competition

With Bebe setting the high bar of what it means to be a winner in this competition and to be a part of the legacy that Ru had created, the second batch of girls have been some of most competitive for the crown in the history of the show.

This strong sense of competitiveness was even broadcast in the first ever season of Untucked, where we finally got to see what conversations take place right before the girls are selected for the chopping block. This season was filled to the brim with talented and charismatic beauties, which in itself calls for cattiness and drama of course. But it was the hunger and the pride of the queens in this season that made it a stand out and many viewers’ favorite season to this day.

With the controversial Tyra Sanchez winning the crowd over audience favorites Raven and Jujubee, this was the season that proved to the world that this was not “RuPaul’s Best Friend Race,” – even before Lashawn Beyond had coined the term – and that first and foremost, this was a competition with a stringent report card.

Jinkx Monsoon

Winner of the fifth season of RuPaul‘s Drag Race, Jinkx Monsoon goes by “she” and “her” when performing, but prefers “they” and “them” pronouns when out of drag.

In a March 2015 Facebook post, Monsoon said, “I myself do not identify as cis-gingered. I am genderless.”

They expounded upon this in an April 2017 interview with Queerty:

“I’ve never identified as fully male. I’ve always identified as more gender fluid or gender ambiguous, but I never knew the vocabulary to explain it for myself.”

She Wore The Pants


 Even today, someone like Ellen DeGeneres eschewing dresses garners notice. In the 1930s, when Hepburn did it, it was downright revolutionary. “I put on pants 50 years ago and declared a sort of middle road,” she told Barbara Walters in a 1981 interview. “I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man. I’ve just done what I damn well wanted.”

“She never fit into conventional womanhood,” biographer William Mann told OutSmart. “And certainly because of her body, she didn’t live as a man. So she kind of did live this middle road.”


While never quiet a hard butch, Hepburn also embraced an athleticism usually reserved for men, enjoying tennis, shooting, diving and horseback riding. Golf was a particular passion: She took daily lessons and even reached the semi-finals of the Connecticut Young Women’s Golf Championship.
