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

adventurous emotional inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

I just really fucking love Alaska Thunderfuck 5000. She is one of my all time favourite drag queens, NAY, goddesses and always will be! I fell in love with her the first time I saw her in her signature trash bag couture and heard her infamous “HIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE” and I haven’t looked back since. Alaska is the most fabulous blend of fashion and comedy in a queen and I will never get enough of her. Getting to know her whole story and beginnings as a drag queen was such an absolute treat. Plus the inside scoop on the rise and fall and ultimately the end of her power couple relationship with Sharon Needles was just a bonus on top of that. My favourite part wasn’t the tea on her and Sharon though, it was getting to know Alaska behind the scenes and how her career as a drag artist started and flourished. It made me love her even more and gain a whole new level of respect for her.
