ATRL Moderator feelslikeadream Posted October 4, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted October 4, 2023 I don't really understand the thread title tbh Anyway, I'll read it! I always hoped he would write an actual memoir and not just those weird self-help books like GuRu. I wonder if he'll be recording the audio book too.

I think it's already been proven from the spin-offs that the format works without Ru though
50thStateofMind Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 actually really want to read this...I just know his life has been WILD

Rigalo Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Why he sound like he about to release info that’s gonna get him canceled 1
Abracadabra Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 The cover is cute but why does that look NOTHING like Ru?
KaledKalil Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 A must-read for any queen wanting to go to Drag Race. Knowing Ru is always the best option there. Hopefully it has an audiobook with his voice, it would be nice to listen during a long trip.

I could see Ru having the audacity and balls to absolutely EVISCERATE assholes in Hollywood who have wronged her. I also hope we hear her side of the Mathu Anderson falling out, but from how Willam tells it, it will never paint her in a positive light so probably not. Guaranteed to be a rollercoaster memory any way you shake it! Werk mother 1

Because you must not have seen her queerpunking all about NYC back in the day. This was probably what he views as the sexual empowered artistic prime of his life, like your fave GOAT selfie but professionally shot by your queer photographer homie who you were probably banging and doing lines with 🤣
Soda Pop Queen Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Definitely putting this one on my book list for next Spring. He's been around a long time and saw a lot growing up when he did and coming up in the industry so I'm sure the tea will overflow.
Mr. Mendes Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 12 hours ago, 東京. said: Are people really that into this narcissist that much to read a memoir Yes because whether or not you care for RuPaul, his life has been incredibly fascinating and his impact on popular culture as a whole truly cannot be understated. He sits alongside just a tiny, tiny handful of drag performers who helped take the art out of the underground and made it an internationally acknowledged and respected art form, and he did it as a person of color no less too. There is a lifetime of stories that deserved to be told, especially to a younger gay audience. People seem to not remember what it was like for the community in the time that Ru was coming up in, and it's nice for them to be reminded and educated that so much of what they take for granted now was won through years of overcoming hardships that many modern members of the community simply will never understand. 12 2

Karla Cabello Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 i dont like memoirs but this one looks interesting. i doubt he'll include the fracking tho

"fracking has created a shale gas boom in the United States" 1
