I honestly can not stop laughing.
RuPaul is a massive, global business.
We're talking music, events, and TV shows; she's undoubtedly the most known drag queen in history. But with great notoriety comes knock offs, as Ru was reminded of Monday.
As we head into the holiday season, some Twitter users are already uploading images of their newly bought or rediscovered Christmas ornaments as they decorate their trees. A piece that's caught the attention of RuPaul is a badly conceived ornament featuring what is clearly meant to be her face and look circa the RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season three promo era.
"Just bought a dozen of these LMFAO," Trixie Mattel wrote to Twitter with a photo of one.
"Catch me outside, bitch!" Ru responded, quoting a now-infamous clip.
\u201cCatch me outside, bitch!\u201d— RuPaul (@RuPaul) 1637004079
But that wasn't all the celebrity had to say. She continued throughout the day, taking shots at the ornament.
"Unauthorized crap," she wrote adding the hashtag for Ruined Christmas. She later called it a "bootleg Xmas Ornament" and "Jacked." Suffice it to say, she was not happy.
With Ru's displeasure, you should absolutely not purchase the ornament, which we've found online for $24 with its eyebrows seemingly drawn on with a Sharpie a la Silky Nutmeg Ganache.
\u201cUnauthorized Crap. #RuinedChristmas\u201d— RuPaul (@RuPaul) 1637004566

\u201cAuthorized vs. Bootleg #PussyHoCouldNever #SheIsNotOneOfDem\u201d— RuPaul (@RuPaul) 1637028914
\u201cHa! \nWork. \n#TheDevilIsALiar\u201d— RuPaul (@RuPaul) 1637032145
As Ru tweeted, there is an authorized ornament. Back in 2018, an all-gold full-body version of RuPaul was sold as an ornament at Drag Con. We weren't able to find that version online for purchase.
Instead, this season RuPaul fans can watch her and a ton of Drag Race alum in The Bitch Who Stole Christmas. The holiday movie special will air on VH1 featuring a whole slate of amazing talent including Krysta Rodriguez, Andy Ridings, Michelle Visage, Ginger Minj, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Peppermint, Jan Sport, Jaymes Mansfield, Latrice Royale, Gottmik, Morgan McMichaels, Porkchop, Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews, Chad Michaels, Heidi N Closet, Kelly Mantle, Kimora Blac, Laganja Estranja, Manila Luzon, Mayhem Miller, Pandora Boxx, Raven, Rock M. Sakura, Kylie Sonique Love, Kim Petras, Charo, and Anna Maria Horsford.
The Bitch Who Stole Christmas premieres Thursday, December 2 at 9pm ET/PT on VH1!
