That's her name. And here's the story as relayed by good friend Stephen Chao, the reality TV pioneer who brought us America's Most Wanted, Studs, Cops, and things of that nature.

"The beach is Tel Baruch, north of Tel Aviv. The time is three in the morning. I had had something like 40 business meetings in 6 days, in the hi-tech area…ranging from Intel to small electric car start-ups. Needless to say, I did not get much idea of the culture or night life. So on my final night in Israel, I hopped in a cab and went hunting for the counter culture, after hour clubs and whatever was naughty. On the winding road to the beach sand dunes, I was stopped by the dept of immigration. They looked at my passport and let me go: they were actually hunting for Russian hookers who are integral to the underground crime scene. I was not a Russian hooker. It was unbelievably surreal. 100 cars milling at 2 mph. 40 hookers in ad hoc groups. Many he shes. Ridiculously safe feeling. In America there would have been yahoos throwing empty beer bottles. This was superbly non-violent and quietly festive. The girls were Israeli and Arab. And then there was this giant black girl. I just had to do some social investigation. She introduced herself as simply the RuPaul of Israel."
