Whether RuPaul would have achieved the same level of prominence without the help, support and friendship of Todrick Hall is unknown. There's no denying RuPaul's talent, but having a well-connected and supremely-talented friend in the business definitely helps. She has appeared on the show, but not as a contestant. She's too well-known and polished for that! She's served as a judge on many of the shows, and also works behind the scenes as a choreographer and a coach. Her 'tough love' style of coaching has occasionally been upsetting for the performers, but always leads to higher standards being achieved.
Despite being a big name within the drag community, Hall wasn't well-known with wider audiences until her first appearances on the show during the ninth season. She's an outstanding singer and dancer, having secured a role in 'Kinky Boots' as Lola, and then reproducing that performance to the delight of viewers and her peers on 'Drag Race' during a lip sync.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
