Chante, You stay! Bebe wins RuPaul’s ‘Drag Race’
”I want to be a role model. I want to be a good role model for the drag community. I want to bring it back a lot of dignity. Not that it doesn’t have it already, but I want to play my own part in doing that. I’m ready now to take that step and follow RuPaul’s footsteps to accomplish a lot of what he’s accomplished.”
Bebe Zahara Benet, of the African country Cameroon, after winning ”RuPaul‘s Drag Race” and the title of American’s Next Drag Superstar. She beat out 8 other queens including Nina Flowers and Rebecca Glasscock in the Logo Channel‘s reality series that was like a cross between ”America’s Next Top Model” and ”Project Runway.” The entire season can be viewed with extras online at Logo’s website.
