My Name's Yours, What's Alaska?: A Memoir by Alaska Thunderfuck 5000
4.0
A massive thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of My Name's Yours, What's Alaska? by Alaska Thundeefuck 5000.
I love Alaska. I loved her from seeing her audition tapes that didn't result in her being on the show. I loved how 'out there' and different she was from the drag I had seen before.
This book was a fantastic, truthful, open and honest look in to the life of Alaska and the life of Justin.
I was proud to read about Alaska's successes, but also really proud to read about their mistakes and how she has owned up to them, recognised them, learnt and grown from them.
There is always more going on with a person you see on a reality TV show, and Alaska was no exception. Reading about what the drag race experience was like for her, and how chaotic the aftermath was was really humanising for me. I felt like I was sat down with one of my favourite Queens whilst she shared her experiences.
Alaska has been one of my favourite RuGirls since her run on season 5, and reading her open-hearted, blunt and honest memoir has stoked the fire of my love for her more.
