He? She? RuPaul doesn't care - "just as long as you call me!" The drag queen extraordinaire, who started out as a fixture on the Atlanta and NYC club scenes in the early 1990s, meets her half-century mark today and proves that age is just a number. From her early days when she spawned the MTV hit "Supermodel" (you better work!), to her MAC campaign as the first drag queen supermodel, to her role in the budget production Starrbooty, the iconic performer has created a string of memorable moments, always preaching love and self-empowerment over cattiness and ill will, and always full of classic bon mots: "Everybody say LOVE! Now say it again! LOVE!"  We wish Ru so much LOVE on her birthday and hope it's beyond sensational. "Can we get an amen in here?" See what gift ideas we've got for the occasion!
