Independent newspaper describing RuPaul? (2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in drag

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rupaul?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'independent newspaper' is the wordplay.
'independent' becomes 'ind' (politics abbreviation).
'newspaper' becomes 'rag' (informal term for a newspaper).
'ind'+'rag'='IN DRAG'

'describing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in drag that I've seen before include "Man wearing female dress" , "Daring (anag)" , "dressed like a queen" .)
