A story about Rupaul
She was born November 17th, 7:58 p.m. at Mercy Hospital in San Diego, California. When asked what she named her baby boy, Ru’s Mother replied, “His name is RuPaul Andre Charles and he’s gonna be a star! Cause ain’t another mother f**ker alive with a name like that!”
1961 His sister Renetta decided to give him a bath at six months old. She felt that he was her baby, because she had prayed and prayed for God to send her a little baby brother. During the bath she couldn’t figure out why the baby wouldn’t stop crying, she didn’t know that she had broken his left arm. Renetta was only seven years old. Many years later his Dad told me they knew something was wrong, cause he was such a good baby who never cried. He said, “We could sit Ru down in the corner and he wouldn’t make a sound,” a trait that would prove to be not so good for me as I grew older.
1962 RuPaul’s first memory is that of his mother giving his sister “Rozy” a bath in the kitchen sink. She didn’t break her arm. Rosalind Annette Charles was born January 28,1962. RuPaul was the only boy born to Ernestine “Toni” Fontenette and Irving Andrew Charles. His older sisters are twins born twenty-six minutes apart. Renae Ann Charles and Renetta Ann Charles were born October 18, 1953.
1964 RuPaul saw “The Supremes” on the Ed Sullivan TV show. He fell in love with them, particularly, the skinny one in the middle which was Diana Ross.
