RuPaul's Drag Race

In 2011 while working as a gogo dancer at local gay bars, Shawn auditioned for the RuPaul's Drag Race "Pit Crew". They are a group of men who appear on each season of Drag Race. The men of the Pit Crew are typically dressed only in their underwear, assisting RuPaul and contestants in various challenges on the reality show. They usually have no dialogue on the show, mainly appearing as "eye candy" for viewers and contestants. Morales became the first non-African-American man to join the Pit Crew, joining in season three. He would also go on to appear in RuPaul's music video for the song "Champion." Morales remained with the show until he was axed before Season 7 began. No reason ever was given for Morales' departure from the show but, after a well-circulated Huffington Post article about Gold's Gym revoking Morales' gym membership due to his body odor; causing rumors linking the two. Morales reprised his role in Season 10, as well as guest appearances on other RuPaul's Drag Race and their production company, World of Wonder's companion shows.
