"Tom Rubnitz was a video artist most often associated with the New York East Village drag queen scene of the late 1980s. His video tapes were mainly inspired by pop culture and Las Vegas style shows. A number of his works featured RuPaul and members of the B-52's. He also made the 1987 documentary Wigstock: The Movie about the annual drag queen festival.
Other works of Rubnitz' include "Strawberry Shortcut" and the infamous "Pickle Surprise"."
...saw this on youtube few years ago, but I couldn't get it out of my head for months. Yes that's Rupaul before the rest of the world knew him.
