“Let’s Hear It for the Red, White and Ru," June 23, 2017

"With the LGBTQ community at the center of our nation’s political zeitgeist, RuPaul was the clear choice to anchor our issue leading into the Fourth of July. Our photographer and photo team worked with RuPaul herself to imagine her take on America, starting with the first lady of drag at the presidential podium. As we worked on the cover there was one line from her hit show RuPaul’s Drag Race we kept in mind: 'Good luck, and don’t f**k it up!' Thankfully the shoot was poppy, electric, and unlike anything else. (All things that also happen to describe RuPaul)."

Critique:
The lighting in the photo is very bright so you can see every little detail of RuPaul and what she is doing in the photo. But because of the words being very bold it is somewhat hard to see the background behind it but we can somewhat guess what is there. Also in this photo RuPaul was the clear choice on leading the issue they are having within the LGBTQ community since she was the first lady of drag at the presidential podium. As seen in the photo she is on the podium and is point at what be the rest of America since the flags of the U.S is behind her. Other then that I really love the photo and how colorful and bold it is. Plus I wouldn't even mind reading about what is happening within the LGBTQ community since it is very interesting to me.
