Ratings and reviews

I wanted to read Rupaul's autobiography but it is hard to find and kinda expensive. This book is great with all kinds of cool tips from fashion to traveling to grooming. I loved it. I love RuPaul and her refreshing take on life and on spirituality.

Perfect for a quick read through the airport but don't expect much substance. It had it's charm but it did not quite come together. You can't complain with the $2 price tag.

It was a good book with lots of useful tips and tricks that everyone could use but I was expecting more...
