They're
not quite the lipstick crowd. But there they were,
the staff of the McGill AIDS Centre, mingling with the
beautiful people at a fashion soirČe at The Bay in
downtown Montreal, September 13. The occasion: the launch
of Viva Glam, the new scarlet shade of lipstick from
M.A.C. cosmetics. The McGill connection: a donation by
M.A.C. to the AIDS Centre. The kicker: the appearance of
supermodel/pop star/drag queen/celebrity-du-jour RuPaul,
who presented McGill's Dr. Norbert Gilmore with a $5,000
cheque. (M.A.C. also contributed to other Montreal AIDS
organizations, and 100 percent of Viva Glam sales will go
to AIDS support services.)
At 6' 7", RuPaul (nČe RuPaul Charles Andre) would stand
out anywhere. However, Anne Renaud, administrative
coordinator, confessed that at this hoity toity event it
was the McGill group who were outrČ: "We were probably the
only ones not totally dressed in black." Except RuPaul, of
course. Pucker up!
