Looks like the lovely RuPaul’s Drag Race starlet Ongina is already busy with her new gig as a M.A.C Viva Glam spokesmodel (a title she won in this past week’s episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race). Yesterday, the petite drag powerhouse delivered a check for $25,000 from the M.A.C. AIDS Fund to the folks at NYC’s Harvey Milk High School.
The school is a safe haven for at-risk LGBT kids, and the NY Times reports that about %25 of the students identify as transgender. So, yes they were happy to see the fabulous little Miss Ongina show up with some dough!
Ongina’s a fan of the Harvey Milk School too, as she herself had a rough time of it, growing up gay in Washington State. During the check presentation yesterday, Ongina commented that she would have appreciated a “school that provided me as much of an education as a comfort zone.”
While at the school, Ongina talked to the kids and answered their questions: “What were his favorite makeup products (M.A.C C-Thru is her favorite lip gloss) and how long it takes to get into drag (two hours).” And yes, she was rocking a pair of Burberry Porsum patent stilettos at the time.
Ka-ching!
