RuPaul, flashaholic - who knew?

[louie]

Not my kind of entertainer, but interviewed on NPR-Fresh Air. Excerpt (Mosley is the interviewer):

RUPAUL: I am still into cars. I love cars. They represent freedom. I love cars. I love flashlights. I have, like, a thousand flashlights.

MOSLEY: Wait. What's with the flashlights?

RUPAUL: I think, if I were my therapist, I would - I love the fact that, first of all, you - being prepared for the darkness. And also, they represent illumination.

MOSLEY: Do you collect them?

RUPAUL: I probably have five with me now, probably.

MOSLEY: In your bag over there, you've got, like, five flashlights.

RUPAUL: I just love them.......

...and a little more on flashlights. Transcript here:

Oh snap!
Now we get to wonder which account Rupaul posts under.
Perhaps this entertainer has been here for years? Decades?
One of us, and we never knew. Largest flashlight forum out there.
This individual has definitely heard of CPF at the very least.

Something tells me we'd know. 😁

Hi, Chance! Agreed, one would think that something along those lines would be evident after a while…

 

[Dr. Jones]

Further on in the transcript, RuPaul said: "I just love them. And I think they represent clarity and a beacon, a path."

I'm not a Freemason, but I've always been searching for the source of illumination, I guess. "Feeling my way through the darkness" (h/t Avicii), guided by the light of flashlight, lantern, torch made from a bundle of reeds…they all help light our way through "the darkness of this world", as the apostle wrote.

Very Cool!! I thought it was cool when Ray Romano was on Jimmy Kimmel talking about his flashlight and how he loved it. But to have a thousand. It's time to come clean and show your collection!! LOL

Agreed. I'd wager that there are some pretty impressive lights in that collection.

It's always the person you'd least suspect @letschat7

 

[letschat7]

I'm not Rupaul.

 

[ABTOMAT]

I'm not Rupaul.

That's exactly what Rupaul would say on the internet.

 

[Chauncey Gardiner]

"I'M SPARTACUS!"

Oh, wait. Wrong thread. Nevermind.

 

[letschat7]

Could we have a famous person that isn't Elvis or Rupaul that is a flashaholic?

 

[Dr. Jones]

"I'M SPARTACUS!"

Oh, wait. Wrong thread. Nevermind.

Allegedly my rep, but I disowned him from the get-go.

Mac Jones said he really liked the flashlight his girlfriend gave him for Christmas. But he sucks against the rush and has a noodle arm so he doesn't count.

 

[knucklegary]
