About this listen

 Alaska Thunderfuck spills the tea on her meteoric rise from timid Pennsylvania kid to drag superstar in this intimate photographic memoir that will appeal to diehard Alaska admirers and broader drag fans alike.

Before RuPaul's Drag Race became a worldwide phenomenon, Drag was mostly an underground art form, performed by the daring and the quick-witted, with maximum energy and a minimal budget. This is the story of one of the galaxy's greatest queens, Alaska Thunderfuck 5000, as she transforms from wearing dresses made of trash bags because she has to, to wearing dresses made of trash bags because she wants to. Finally coming clean on her home planet (earth), this dishy, visual memoir tells the stories that shaped Alaska into an All Star: from prom king to the House of Haunt, to the very public breakup that almost destroyed her. Intimate and alluring with exclusive photography throughout, and illustrations by the author, My Name's Yours, What's Alaska? is the ultimate backstage pass.

UNIQUE & PERSONAL: Chronicling Alaska's journey from small-town kid to drag superstar, this memoir stands out for its emotional resonance, distinct humor, and unapologetic realness. Filled with compelling personal stories told in Alaska's unique voice, it gives fans an exclusive look at Justin Honard the person, not just Alaska Thunderfuck the drag queen.

LGBTQIA+ REPRESENTATION: LGBTQIA+ consumers will see their experiences and passions reflected in Alaska's authenticity and openness about her childhood struggles, and will be excited by a drag memoir that celebrates the whole story of queerness, not just the sassy, shady highlights.

GREAT GIFT FOR FANS OF RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE: Behind the scenes stories of Alaska's journey to RuPaul's Drag Race fame, alongside full-color photography of Alaska's iconic trash-glam looks throughout her career, will deliver the exclusive content fans crave.

Perfect for:
• Diehard drag fans
• Fans of Alaska Thunderfuck, RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Trixie Mattel, Bianca del Rio, Sharon Needles, Magnus Hastings, Cherri Baum, Veruca, and more
• RuPaul's Drag Race enthusiasts who want to deep dive into a famous queen's rise to stardom Biographies & Memoirs Entertainment & Celebrities LGBTQIA+ Creators Celebrity Memoir Royalty Witty Comedy

Super special to hear a memoir from the author themselves. An incredibly inspiring and honest perspective on gender and sexuality, relationships, the arts, and finding your place in life (no matter which direction we get thrown). Alaska’s storytelling ranges from joy, nostalgia, pride, to vulnerability, and I was absolutely captivated the whole way through. Can’t recommend this book enough!

Truly booked and blessed ✨

Besides the fact I could listen to her talk all day, this is an interesting and raw account. It gives you an interesting story about the drag scene, personal growth, an insight into the world of drag race and is funny and entertaining along the way. Gorgeous x

If you love Alaska, you’ll love this

I'm already a huge Alaska fan but somehow I love her even more now. She's already such a creative inspiration to me, but as someone with a perfectionist streak and my fair share of 'intense' relationships, this really helped me understand why I connect with her work so much. The performance is so compelling (no surprise) and there's a good balance of drag race fan service/goss to real life drama and reflection. An easy read with substance.

Hiiiiieeeee
