In 1967, The Beatles sang “I Am The Walrus”. In 2008, Beyonce Knowles proclaimed “I Am… Sasha Fierce”. And in 2012, there's only one diva who can say “I AM Latrice Royale”. That is, of course, Latrice herself, the unjustly eliminated queen who was asked to sashay away on this past Monday’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
We've been fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race since the very first season. Queens have come and gone making lasting impressions, be it good or bad, and have gotten us hooked on the art of female impersonation. Some of our favorites include (but certainly aren't limited to): BeBe Zahara Benet, Raven, Jujubee, Chad Michaels and Sharon Needles. But there's only been one queen that has stolen our hearts, stomped on it with a platform heel and put it back together with fake eyelash glue. Lovingly known as Latrice Mother F*ckin’ Royale, this large and in charge queen has shown us all the beauty of truly being ourselves.
Let’s break it down. Timothy Wilcots is a 39-year-old African American male from South Beach, Florida that has worked as a drag queen for the past 20 years. One would assume that the last person to make such a big impression as a queen would be a heavyset 39-year-old black man, but Tim has broken all kinds of rules and proven that limitations simply do NOT exist. Exuding laughter, light, and most of all love, Latrice Royale doesn’t need the title or the money to prove that she IS America’s ULTIMATE Drag Superstar.
The majority of our favorite moments from this season’s RuPaul’s Drag Race include Ms. Royale. Be it her infectious laugh, her biting wit and humor or her brilliant and memorable lip synch to Aretha Franklin’s Natural Woman (baby bump included), Latrice has become a definite fan favorite (make sure to vote for Latrice Royale as Miss Congeniality for the Drag Race Reunion Special!).
Check out this special message Latrice posted on YouTube yesterday and don’t forget to make these memorable Royale quotes apart of your everyday lingo…
