Alaska Thunderf--k 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 Thunderf--k 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 and 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 Thunderf--k 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 Thunderf--k, 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

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

So glad Alaska was the narrator! I really, really enjoyed this. For anyone who loves Alaska, or drag in general, this is a great read, and her narration is perfect!

Loved this so much!

Fantastic listen, so lovely to hear Alaska really brings us on her journey. Shame it wasn’t 80 hours longer.

Lovely Memoir

This audiobook delivers on introducing you through the path to fame for Alaska quite well. You will hear the name drops, the friends and exes that made her who she is, but it goes beyond that to deliver a quite substantial memoir about the coming of age and personal development of Justin Howard, the person behind the persona.

Justin speaks openly and honestly about his experiences as a queer child and through his young adulthood that take this beyond the typical drag queen chuckle book. His story of trying and failing to live within his imposed social role can resonate with quite a lot of listeners, whether they are queer or have simply experienced a feeling of not fitting in. His story of chasing dreams and love connections around the country-often having reality come crashing down on his romanticized expectations-is a solid vehicle to demonstrate his personal development as self-confident person. I left the book feeling like Justin did his best to let us in on his world, and it made this book stand out from the rest of his work-more than that, it stood out from the plethora of other RuGirl books we’ve seen published.

Lastly, Alaska is in part known for her voice. You know it when you hear it, and I’m sure some might find it polarizing. Give her a listen on another platform and decide if you hate it or it’s the best thing ever. For me, personally…I love her eclectic speaking patterns, and she doesn’t fail to deliver a solid performance. I think this book is by far best consumed in its audiobook format.

I laughed; I cried; it was better than “Cats”! Wonderfully read (for filth). Anusthing is possible after listening to this honest take on her own life and career thus far. Brava!

What a wonderful read and look back upon her life and career thus far!

The book is every bit as clever and fun as Alaska is, with the addition of deeply personal content that makes you love her even more. Her performance of the material is a special treat.

Absolutely everything fabulous about Alaska

I love a memoir kind of vibe and this gives me such joy and appreciation for Alaska’s talent! Alaska has always been a fav of mine and after listening to the sweet vocals of my Queen for the last few hours, I have such a deeper admiration for their natural talent and greater understanding of how hard Alaska has worked to achieve the success they’ve had. I find my inner voice now sounds like an inner Alaska. Emphasis on the second a and s, of course!

I’ve fallen in love while listening to Race Chaser and now my one sided relationship has taken the next step, completing both Alaska and Willams books.

This is such a must read and actually feels like you’re having a heart to heart with your bestie. I was really surprised to hear the deets on Sharon, as I have ogled them for a while- it was really interesting to learn about Alaskas sensitive/emotional side when it comes to love. Alaska, she’s just like us!

A+, 10/10, 100% and more.

Oh, and if you haven’t listened to “Red” yet, please do that now or resolve to live a life missing a timeless beat that will be stuck in your head…red.

P.S. Jeremy sounds like such a darling wonderful person- love love love!

Deep appreciation for Alaska! Must read!
