In New York City, talk is rife that the flamboyant son of a former top official is now a queen—officially.

The Ru Paul wannabe, last we heard, worked for a popular American fashion designer.

The family made headlines in a financial controversy. In 2009, the queen, er, son made no attempt to quell talk about his and his kin’s ostentatious ways when he was interviewed all cocky and living it up.

Looks like he finally let everything hang loose.
