About this listen

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 Race fame, alongside full-color photography of Alaska's iconic trash-glam looks throughout her career, will deliver the exclusive content fans crave.

Perfect for:

  • Diehard drag fans
  • Fans of Alaska Thunderf--k, RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Trixie Mattel, Bianca del Rio, Sharon Needles, Magnus Hastings, Cherri Baum, Veruca, and more
  • RuPaul's Drag Race enthusiasts who want to deep dive into a famous queen's rise to stardom

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Unique look at drag world

I wasn't sure what to expect but I enjoyed this insider's perspective into the Drag Race world as well as a dive into the world of drag outside of drag race. I appreciated Alaska's honesty, not skirting around some tough topics.

All the Alaska tea we wanted

Alaska is a pleasure to listen to while she details her childhood, intro to drag and her legacy on RPDR. Alaska is charming and self aware and you feel like you are able to laugh with her through her memories of the good and bad times.

A star.

Alaska has been my favourite drag artist since I knew what drag was, even before she'd made it on drag race. The book was full of classic Alaska stories and quips and gives you background info on the legend, the icon, the moment, Alaska Thunderfuck. Paired with her signature monotone drawl that's every bit as charismatic as it is slightly off-putting, she takes us through childhood, adolescence, her burgeoning drag career, struggles with addiction, and gives you a behind curtain look of the most glamorous supermodel Glamtron has ever produced. I love you Alaska, heart, and soul <3
