Beskrivelse
Alaska Thunderf–k spills the tea on her meteoric rise from timid Pennsylvania kid to drag superstar in this intimate photographic memoir that will appeal to diehard Alaska admirers and broader drag fans alike.
Before RuPaul’s Drag Race became a worldwide phenomenon, Drag was mostly an underground art form, performed by the daring and the quick-witted, with maximum energy and a minimal budget. This is the story of one of the galaxy’s greatest queens, Alaska Thunderf–k 5000, as she transforms from wearing dresses made of trash bags because she has to, to wearing dresses made of trash bags because she wants to. Finally coming clean on her home planet (Earth), this dishy, visual memoir tells the stories that shaped Alaska into an all star: from prom king to the House of Haunt, to the very public breakup that almost destroyed her. Intimate and alluring with exclusive photography throughout, and illustrations by the author, My Name’s Yours, What’s Alaska? is the ultimate backstage pass.
Unique and personal: Chronicling Alaska’s journey from small-town kid to drag superstar, this memoir stands out for its emotional resonance, distinct humor, and unapologetic realness. Filled with compelling personal stories told in Alaska’s unique voice, it gives fans an exclusive look at Justin Honard the person, not just Alaska Thunderf–k the drag queen.
LGBTQIA+ representation: LGBTQIA+ consumers will see their experiences and passions reflected in Alaska’s authenticity and openness about her childhood struggles, and will be excited by a drag memoir that celebrates the whole story of queerness, not just the sassy, shady highlights.
Great gift for fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race: Behind the scenes stories of Alaska’s journey to RuPaul’s Drag Racefame, alongside full-color photography of Alaska’s iconic trash-glam looks throughout her career, will deliver the exclusive content fans crave.
