Ru Paul came glamming The Castro twilight Wednesday under less noticeable skybound stars to greet fans with accoutrements of good marketing.
On national tour headlining October release of the movie Starbooty, her one night stop in San Francisco brought in alerted fans and bright eyed passersby to Medium Rare Records at 2310 Market at Castro.
Starbooty follows the closeup and personal saga of a lady gone undercover prostitute lulling the steamy lanes of Manhattan.
This lady clutched her avocation as a glam young boy watching the Supremes, noting he liked the middle one best, performing Baby Love.
Last night the streets of San Francisco proved more beneficent than aging sister New York City.
Ninety-Four collections were sold at Medium Rare Books compared to less fulsome embrace of 91 accoutrement signings in NYC.
