Ma, Look, I am in a "Movie" Movie!
When I was a teenager in Russia, some time in 1992, still conflicted about my sexuality, I saw this video clip of RuPaul singing "Supermodel". I knew it was a gay man, fiercely wearing women's clothes, fiercely switching genders. I remember thinking how great it would be to meet such a cool person. Five years later when I was in the US, Ru invited me to take part in his show on VH1. It was on April 25, 1997, along with Jeff Stryker and other pornstars, I was presented with a beautiful Gold Shoe- which was my award, because RuPaul decided to give me an award for Best Gay Porn Actor. Make no mistake, I never got either best newcomer, actor, performer, or otherwise, at any industry award shows. But I was absolutely ecstatic to recieve this reward from the hands of a legend.
We became good friends since then and about a couple weeks ago, this friendship became a collaboration. Not only had RuPaul done Dangerous Liaisons, she recently directed a scene for my new film line, Encounters, as I wrote about here. And just this weekend I had the pleasure of performing in Ru's new Untitled movie. It had been a long time since I had seen Ru in drag, and she looked better than ever. We filmed it this weekend, and it was a great experience even though in the part, RuPaul and her girlfriend LaHOMA blew my dick off. I don't think I am ruining the movie by telling you about this not very happy ending- but I am sure many of you would love to see my dick blown off by a couple of drag queens. Because come on, everyone knows that I owe all my success to that big penis of mine, and without it, I am nothing but an aging retarded man from communist Russia.
You can read more from RuPaul's point of view at her blog: click here. I was very happy that Ru wrote the whole entry about our scene, when it only took one hour out of what was a very long shoot- and believe me they were working long and hard hours, shooting in my office and studio.

Hello Michael:
I always feared you would Ru the day you met that woman; now, she has eliminated your big dick in a film without a title. What a drag! But even without a dick, you are too young, smart, and capitalist to be called an aging retarded man from communist Russia.
Ms. Charles and LaHoma both look so lovely; they can be the T in my LGB anytime!

Just wondering. This RuPaul movie is for a theatrical release? Sounds wonderful. I've been waiting to see Ru in a really good part (how about a remake of Bette Davis' THE STAR)? Nice to see you, Michael, going "legit" LOL. As you know, I think you are a good actor (in search of somebody else to direct you). It's always interesting to see an adult actor play a non-sex part using a professionally written script, no sex. It'll show if he REALLY can act.

You owe all your success to that big penis between your shoulders. And we would all be the lesser without it.

Hey Michael, don't be so humble. You have brains because you know how to use your penis in right way!
