RuPaul’s now-iconic declaration, “You better work!,” has never rung more true than with the third season premiere of Logo’s hit show “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” From numerous celebrities naming the series one of their most beloved reality competition shows to former contestants appearing on the runway at New York Fashion Week, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has grown from a cult favorite into a mainstream phenomenon. Clearly, this season’s queens have some big (high-heeled) shoes to fill if they want to make it to the finish line. Bigger name guest judges, “OMFG” challenges and higher stakes will make this the most sensational season as the queens fight tooth-and-press-on-nail for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” “RuPaul’s Drag Race” returns January 2011 on Logo. RuPaul, the world’s most famous drag queen, has pushed the boundaries of popular culture on an international level and continues to make history this season with “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” the first reality television show featuring drag queens. RuPaul is back for a third season to decide who will “shante! stay!” or “sashay away” with a new batch of the nation’s hottest, most glamorous drag queens. Wigs will fly and drama will run high as the contestants bring their over-the-top attitudes to the drag battle royale that is “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
