An unauthorized holiday ornament supposedly depicting RuPaul has appeared online… and the drag legend appears unimpressed.
Several Twitter users have posted images of the unofficial tree decoration, prompting comments from Ru.
“Someone on my timeline posted that they got this @RuPaul Christmas ornament from Wish,” posted @PrinceCatEyez. “And that they were upset with it. I can see why! It looks like Jennifer Holiday in mid-performance!”
RuPaul re-tweeted the image with the simple message, “Unauthorized Crap. #RuinedChristmas”
How about we take this to the next level?

Ru also took the opportunity to plug his authorized tree decoration.

One person who found the new unofficial ornament amusing is former Drag Race alum Trixie Mattel, who boasted she’d bought a dozen of them. This brought a sharp reprimand from Ru: “Catch me outside, bitch!”

Some reminded RuPaul that he recently criticized RPDR contestants for blaming editors for making them look bad.
Is this you now blaming it on the edit?

Others wondered why the ornament appeared to feature sparkling boogers in Ru’s nostrils.
On the website they even made Ru’s boogers glamorous & sparkly. Sashay! ✨ pic.twitter.com/8VRe3OU5R1

Many others said the decoration was considerably different from the RuPaul we all know and love.

RuPaul is not the first celebrity to suffer an unofficial ornament, as others pointed out.
It reminds me of the Dolly Parton one! 🤣 The category is ‘FreakMas’ 🤑 pic.twitter.com/Ze7a0wF7ht

Mr. Stadnick
Christmas is dead.
Max
is it really bootleg if it wasn’t a replica of another ornament that already existed?

I think that because it isn’t authorized by Ru or World of Wonder; that’s why it’s considered a bootleg.

At one point, someone brought back I’ve Got A Secret with an all gay panel and host. It was great! I hope Ru buys the rights and brings that back too. Ru is shrewd and talented. I’d love to see WOW become a full channel of shows. It’s on it’s way. How about a late night variety show hosted by Bianca Del Rio? A political discussion show hosted by Nina West?
