"This book changed my life. Tom Rasmussen's honesty, vulnerability, and fearlessness jump out of every page and every word. It is the queer bible I've always needed." --Sam Smith, singer and songwriter "Tom covers the nuance, doubt, and uncertainty of being a drag queen. Crystal covers the transcendence . . . Charisma and quick intelligence--two qualities that have long been prerequisites for drag . . .Diaryputs on technicolor display." --Katy Waldman,The New Yorker In these pages, find glamour and gaffes on and off the stage, clarifying snippets of queer theory, terrifyingly selfish bosses, sex, quick sex, KFC binges, group sex, the kind of honesty that banishes shame, glimmers of hope, blazes of ambition, tender sex, mad dashes in last night's heels plus a full face of make-up, and a rom-com love story for the ages. This is where the unspeakable becomes the celebrated. This is the diary of a drag queen--one dazzling, hilarious, true performance of areal, flawed, extraordinary life. "I hope people like me will read this and feel seen and loved by it. I hope people who aren't like me will enjoy it, laugh with it, learn from it. And I hope people who don't like me will file lawsuits just so I can wear my brand-new leopard-print skirt suit and bust their asses in court." --Crystal Rasmussen, inRefinery29

Can you build your ideal queen? Select fabulous dresses, wigs and shoes? Is she chunky yet funky or a 7ft glamazon? Including stickers and colouring, a Drag Name calculator and fabulous facts, quirky quotes and stunning figures about all things drag. 
Drag has always influenced mainstream pop culture, but because of its underground roots, many aspects bled through into popular, mainstream culture without credit. Things have improved for this next generation of young queens, RuPaul's Drag Race has taken drag culture beyond its radical roots. Originally a staple of gay bars drag has now extended from its LGBTQ fan base into the mainstream. Regularly cited as the smartest reality show on TV, the latest season moved to VH1 in the US and Netflix in the UK (and taking 8 Emmy nominations/3 wins for the latest series) drag has never been bigger or more popular. 
Fun, fabulous, funny gift book.

Review\nA beautiful collection of inspiring stories - 21 June 2022 
This book is a beautiful collection of inspiring stories written during an unprecedented time in our history. During the COVID pandemic this lovely book was birthed, written by a group of authors who have opened their hearts to share insights into their lives at a time of transformation.\nAs is often the case, transformation can come as a result of physical and/or emotional pain and each author carries us on a journey as they share their stories. It's a call to action to take responsibility for our own life, our happiness and fulfilment. I can highly recommend this enjoyable and thought provoking collection of inspirational stories.\nPowerfully insightful - 23 August 2022 
What an incredible collection of tales and insights from a range of extraordinary people. So much juicy goodness filled between these pages, I think I'll have to read it several times to absorb all the magic. It has given me some new awareness of the generational patterns in my family that I would like to intentionally break and move on from. Thank you for these powerful insights and thank you to all the authors who shared so vulnerably and passionately - you are superstars!\nEvolving on Purpose: Mindful ancestors, paving the way for future generations........ 
The authors in this book are forever evolving on purpose and desire to create a reality that serves them, their families, and their communities and makes the changes that they want to see in the world. Self-responsibility is paramount in this new paradigm. We cannot change the behaviours and actions of others, but we can change ourselves and how we perceive everything, and we can become discerning about who and what we allow into our lives. 
The authors have come together from around the world to collaborate with the creation of this book. Each one arrived in divine timing, with many synchronistic stories about how and why they got here. Together, we have created this awesome book, filled with knowledge and wisdom, that we intend to educate and touch the souls of everyone who reads it. 
This is not just a book, it's a guide for living a life that you love filled with coaches and healers ready to support you in your journey if you desire to grow and evolve on purpose.
