My Name's Yours, What's Alaska?: A Memoir by Alaska Thunderfuck 5000

Fun book, nice to revisit Pittsburgh and LA with it, two places I used to live and don’t anymore. I actually met Alaska once. It was the night before Sharon Needles won Drag Race, and I was on a date with a very boring ophthalmologist at Brillo Box in Pittsburgh, when Sharon & Alaska came in. Sharon was in full makeup (though not necessarily drag, I guess?) and Alaska was not. I wish I’d asked for a picture with Alaska—I recognized her from various clips of her the show had during Sharon’s run. I didn’t want to be annoying. I did get a picture Sharon, and here it is:

Alaska is great, though. Very funny and also super nice. This was a nice light read, and great on audio.
