"All hail the queen!\r\nRaja (real name: Sutan Amrull) earned the title of America&amp;apos;s Next Drag Superstar when she was named the winner of RuPaul&amp;apos;s Drag Race on Monday night.\r\nBeating out fellow contestants Manila Luzon and Alexis Mateo, the 36-year-old California native told Us Weekly that earning the title was a dream come true.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;It means there&amp;apos;s an actual brick in the whole thing, the whole legacy of drag, and I get to put my name up there with the rest of the amazing drag queens who&amp;apos;ve influenced me,&amp;quot; Raja said during the LOGO finale party at NYC&amp;apos;s Providence (sponsored by Absolut). &amp;quot;I may not be the clean-cut conservative role model, but I can definitely influence a certain group of very special people.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAccording to Raja, who served as the principal makeup artist on America&amp;apos;s Next Top Model for six seasons, RuPaul shared some life-changing advice during the competition.\r\n&amp;quot;Ru reiterated to me that there is a power in &amp;apos;F**k you.&amp;apos; It&amp;apos;s not necessarily a negative thing; it&amp;apos;s just standing your ground and being who you are,&amp;quot; Raja told Us. &amp;quot;It might sound a little bit rough and maybe tongue in cheek in some ways, but there&amp;apos;s a lot of power in that. If you hold your ground, stand up for yourself and say, &amp;apos;I&amp;apos;m proud of who I am,&amp;apos; then so be it. &amp;apos;F**k you.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nPHOTOS: What&amp;apos;s going on in Hollywood today?\r\nWhat&amp;apos;s next for the saucy performer? &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m working on a little bit of music right now. As an artist, I&amp;apos;m always experimenting, so music is one of the things I&amp;apos;d like to do,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;There are just so many different things!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
