It’s been two years since RuPaul’s official Chia Pet appeared in stores, and if the prospect of owning a terra cotta earth goddess drag queen wasn’t enticing enough, it now comes with an autograph. For a limited time, Target is including a card signed by RuPaul herself in a select number of Chia Pet products for $99.99.
RuPaul made the announcement in an Instagram video while signing a massive stack of cards. “Yes, honey, you can see me in all my green glory,” she said. ”And I sprout in two weeks! How about that?”

If nothing else, this official merch is a massive step up from the bootleg disaster that befell Mama Ru last Christmas. The product description reads, “This special Signature Edition RuPaul Chia Pet includes the autograph of Emmy award winning RuPaul on a card suitable for framing!
“The legendary RuPaul, singer, actor, model and host of the internationally acclaimed RuPaul’s Drag Race, is now the most fabulous Chia Pet to ever grace the runway. Handcrafted in stunning terra cotta, this Chia Pet will make the perfect gift for the fierce friend in your life.
“Each Chia Pet comes with 1 packet of Chia® seeds good for 3 plantings, a convenient plastic drip tray, and planting and care instructions. In just 1-2 weeks your RuPaul Chia Pet will achieve maximum growth. Chia Planters can be washed and replanted indefinitely. Just spread the seeds on your RuPaul Chia Pet and watch the glamour grow!”
