Ruth Canal's follow-up video after graduation night partying isn't quite as glamorous.
Temple University's Kornberg School of Dentistry's graduation ceremony was treated to some extra flair when a drag queen, Ruth Canal, accepted her diploma in full glam regalia. The audience hooted with applause as she accepted her sash as a doctor of dental medicine.
The student, Jacob A. Dockery, posted the video of the moment to TikTok with the caption "Graduated from dental school in full drag" and hashtags including #doctor, #LGBT, and #dragqueen.
The graduation video was Dockery's first TikTok post. The follow-up video is of a drunk Ruth Canal later that evening sprawled in a construction site with filthy feet and her graduation gown hiked up to her waist as she chows down on late-night food and a friend sings "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables.
Watch the messy follow-up below. And here's to more of Ruth Canal!
