One of the iconic phrases uttered by drag queen and superstar RuPaul, “Don’t Fuck It Up” is a motto that all of us can apply to our lives. This ceramic mug celebrates LGBT+ and drag pride with this phrase, which is complemented by an illustration of a bold kiss mark in bright red lipstick.
We love to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race, as it helps to uplift and provide space for marginalized members of the drag queen community. We think LGBT+ supporters and RuPaul fans will love this mug, and the message it promotes.
