You may not have been able to attend the first ever DragCon (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2015/05/18/rupauls-dragcon_n_7308232.html) in May of this year, but now you can watch the keynote speech from living drag legend RuPaul courtesy of queer production company World of Wonder.
Almost 14,000 people packed the Los Angeles Convention Center (http://fusion.net/story/136278/the-many-faces-of-drag-at-rupauls-dragcon/) for "RuPaul's DragCon" on May 16-17, which was billed as the first drag queen convention in history. The event brought together queens from all seven seasons of "RuPaul's Drag Race" to meet fans and ki ki throughout the weekend -- as well as listen to words of wisdom from Ru.
Not only did Ru deliver a history lesson about the nature of drag and the queer movement, but he spent quite some time discussing one of his favorite topics -- learning to love and live as your authentic self.
"This convention is full of people who understand how important it is to be yourself," Ru shares in the above video. "And the most important thing you can do on this planet is become the realization of your own imagination... you are the physical realization of the power that created the entire universe."
