[edit] RuPaul's Drag Race
Jujubee appeared on RuPaul's Drag Race when he was 25 and was second runner-up.[1] Jujubee, along with fellow contestants Raven, Pandora Boxx, and Morgan McMichaels served as drag professors on RuPaul's Drag U, a spin-off of Drag Race that premiered on the Logo network in June 2010.[3] He was also nominated for a 2010 NewNowNext Award for "Most Addictive Reality Star."[4][5]
[edit] Personal life
Jujubee is of Thai and Laotian ancestry, something he has shown great pride in during his time on Drag Race. He is fluent in Thai and utilized words in that language when he told fellow contestants about how his uncle called him kathoey, meaning "Lady boy," and then again during the "reading" challenge. A longtime resident of Boston, Massachusetts, where he lives with his partner Christopher, since Drag Race, Jujubee has been performing throughout the United States as part of the RuPaul's Drag Race Tour.[6] He also appeared in the music video for RuPaul's song "Jealous of My Boogie."[7]
