À propos de cet audio
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.

The only lie told more often than "no, that looks totally cute on you" and "I got AIDS through oral" is "it gets better". Well, a lotta times it don't. Sometimes it just sucks less. But I promise you: Where there's a Willam, there's a way. But this isn't all about me (for once). It's about you and how you can suck less at a variety of things drag queens are so much better at than the average person.

When it comes to insult comics, Bianca Del Rio is in a class by herself. Fierce, funny, and fabulous - a would-be love child sired by John Waters and birthed by Joan Rivers - Bianca sandblasted her name in the annals of pop culture on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Thanks to her snarky frankness, impeccable comedic timing, and politically incorrect humor, she became the show’s breakout star, winning its sixth season. In Blame It on Bianca Del Rio, Bianca shares her opinions loudly and proudly, offering raucous, hilarious, no-holds-barred commentary on annoyances, big and small.

This book is a quilt, piecing together memoir, history, and theory into a living portrait of an artist and an art. Sasha Velour illuminates drag as a unique form of expression with a rich history and a revolutionary spirit. Each chapter strips off a new layer, removing one tantalizing glove and then another, to reveal all the twists and turns in the life of a queen. As Sasha recalls her own journey, from the women who raised her, to learning the craft of an artist, to success, disaster, and more, she also uncovers the history of queer life around the world that made it all possible.

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
