Tammie Brown, a RuPaul's Drag Race alum from way back in the prehistoric ages of season 1, has become the (expertly painted!) face of Allstate Insurance. The new ad continues a trend of major companies understanding that targeting and supporting the gay community is a better financial, political and moral move than bowing to the failed boycotts and objections of hate groups. Details follow.The ad, spotted by a Buzzfeed reader, cleverly ties drag into the company's safe driver discount. "I dress in drag. But I don't race my engine," it reads.
Any one willing to wager one of Tammie's spider-leg lashes that NOM/One Million Moms/Family Research Council will have threats of a boycott out to their tens of followers by days end?

Love it. Although admittedly I can't hear her name without thinking of this... never forget -
