Readers, start your engines, and may the best oral history (wipes mouth) win! A new book chronicling the rise of RuPaulās Drag Race is coming out this Pride Month. Arriving in bookstores June 6, And Donāt F&%K It Up: An Oral History of RuPaulās Drag Race (the First Ten Years), by Maria Elena Fernandez in collaboration with World of Wonder, traces Drag Raceās humble beginnings from climbing the ladder (specifically the pink one that used to hold up their TV) all the way to mainstream, Emmy-winning success through interviews with the creators of the show, the queens, the crew, the judges, and some famous fans. āBefore Drag Race premiered, I was drawn to the artistry and entertainment value of drag but I had never considered the bravery behind the transformation process or spent much time thinking about the person behind the makeup and wig,ā Fernandez said in a statement.Ā āDrag Race opened me up and made me a better human, so when I was approached about working on an oral history of this cultural juggernautās first decade, the answer was a resounding Yas, Queen! Come for the tea, stay for the shade.ā The book will discuss moments from Onginaās HIV reveal all the way to the equally emotional (if in the opposite direction) Asia OāHara butterfly fiasco. So glue on a wig and get preordering. Because reading is what? Fundamental.
