A witty and inspiring guide to transforming your life through lessons from drag, by the UK’s favourite drag queen and star of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, Bimini Bon Boulash.

From being told she couldn’t have dance lessons as a kid in Great Yarmouth to having to conform to the stereotypes of the gay scene in London’s East End, people have always been trying to put Bimini Bon Boulash in a box. It was only through discovering the art of drag that she began to fight back against those preconceptions, and understand that she had the power to define herself.

In A Drag Queen’s Guide to Life, Bimini tells the story of how drag took her from the brink of self-destruction to become a gag-inducing, death-dropping, plant-based superstar. Drawing on her own experience as a nonbinary person in a binary world, as well as inspirational stories from history, politics, pop culture and fashion, she uses all her wit, charm and kindness to show us how to lead the lives we wish we could lead, through the life-changing magic of dragging up.
