RuPaul, America's first drag queen superstar, will be schooling real women on the high art of beauty in a new reality series.
RuPaul's Drag U premieres Monday, July 19 on all-gay cabler Logo.
"Why should men have all the fun?" a Logo press release says. "And who says drag is just for drag queens?"
The reality series takes glamor into the classroom. Each episode will take a class of three beauty-starved, biological women and teach them the essential elements of "sexiness, sass and spunk that have long been the calling cards of every great drag queen."
At orientation, the women's full drag potential will be revealed as they are put through "The Dragulator."
Celebrity appearances on the show include Kelly Osbourne, Meredith Baxter and Taylor Dayne, among others.
RuPaul will play headmaster, while drag icon Lady Bunny will serve as dean of drag.
Drag U is the second reality series for RuPaul on Logo.
RuPaul's Drag Race, a show that pits 9 men in a contest to become the next superstar drag queen, premiered in 2009.
Drag U premieres tonight at 9 p.m./8 p.m. CT on Logo
