"It's pure camp, baby," raved Ru when he was shown a picture of a pink carpet of his fancy feathers. "It's glitter, it's zebra … Zaldy, who created my outfits for the last 25 years, made this outfit."

"I did not want to drag because I thought it would be a sea of ​​drag queens," he said. "I really did it."

"I thought all the guys were going to be dressed like Divine," he added. "But not one person was disguised as Divine. People do not really understand the camp. It's abstract for most people. "

Colbert then referred to the concept of dredge as a political statement. "What we do in drag is more important today than ever before," Ru said. "The work of the drag queen, the shaman, the court jester, is helping people understand that life does not have to be taken seriously."

Ru also commented on the presidential candidate, Kirsten Gillbrand, recently coming behind the scenes of a drag club during a campaign in Iowa: "Homosexuals pay taxes, drag queens pay for it. I want a politician who will come to my drag club if I pay his salary. "
