And Don't F&%k It Up
And Don't F&%k It Up: An Oral History of RuPaul's Drag Race (The First Ten Years) | World of Wonder, Maria Elena Fernandez
2 posts | 2 read
A definitive history and celebration of the groundbreaking show RuPaul's Drag Race in its first decade, from a Burbank basement set all the way to the Emmy's, and every weave in-between, as told by its stars, producers and fans. Told over the first ten years of a television mainstay, And Don't F&%k It Up tells a cultural history through the stories of the people who lived it: the creators of the RuPaul's Drag Race, the contestants, the crew, the judges, and even some key (famous) fans. It begins with RuPaul's decades-long friendship and business relationship with World of Wonder Productions, the entertainment company that helped launch him into superstardom, and later talked him into giving a drag reality show a chance. From there, it follows the growth and evolution of the showand its queensthrough a decade of gag-worthy seasons, serving up all kinds of behind-the-scenes realness. With a history as shady and funny as it is dramatic and inspiring, And Don't F&%k It Up shows how RuPaul's Drag Race is a mirror reflecting the cultural and political mores of our time. Its meteoric rise to becoming a once-in-a-generation success story is explored here as never before, in intimate, exuberant, unfettered detail.

I REALLY loved this book. Not only was a great insight into the show, the narrator was ON POINT with the voices!!!

I like #DragRace but this would have been more entertaining as an interview series or podcast. (Or maybe I just can‘t get comfortable)
