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

funny inspiring reflective fast-paced

First of all…definitely make sure you do the audiobook. Alaska’s impressions and asides are all genius. I want her to read classic literature to me now. There are parts of these I loved (Alaska’s honesty about her substance abuse and toxic relationship and her own insecurities about herself and her relationship to fame) but it does sort of lose steam towards the end. I feel like big chunks of her story are missing and I would love to learn more. I also don’t need a Drag Race tell-all or anything and wouldn’t want her to be shady or gossipy but would have LOVED to hear more *fun* backstage stories and about the sisterhood that she found amongst the Drag Race girls. This was definitely delightful though and I’d happily read (or listen to) more stories if she wants to publish them.
