"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)."

RuPaul is described as 'poppy, electric, and unlike anything else', and I think that the colors, the outfit, how bold and out there the font is, and even her stance show that. She is clearly ready to tell you what her take on America is like and she even has a bit of sass with the way she holds the megaphone. Her hair makes her seem poppy, the title makes it seem electric, and the set up of a drag queen in a political office seems unlike anything else. I love how she is in the center of the page and the text, flags, and desk frame her.
