Produktbeschreibung

Before the lashes, there was loss. Before the spotlight, survival. Welcome to House Glamour.

Set against the gritty backdrop of late-1970s Honolulu, Diaries of a Drag Queen follows Vivian Starra teenage runaway with a busted suitcase, a cracked compact, and zero backup plan. After being kicked out of her home, Vivian finds unlikely sanctuary in an abandoned house with no electricity, a lot of wigs, and a chosen family of queens just as loud, lost, and legendary.

Inside these walls, chaos reigns: rhinestones in the rice cooker, glitter in the air vents, and emotional trauma duct-taped to every dressing room mirror. But under the foundation and falsies, there's something reala fight for identity, resilience, and the kind of love that doesn't care what name you were given at birth.

Told in episodic snapshots, dark humor, and heartbreakingly fabulous drag wisdom, this is not your typical coming-of-age story. It's a coming-into-glamour story.

If you've ever searched for family in unlikely places, if you've ever learned to stitch your own worth from scrapsthis one's for you.
