5 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
THE BIMINI BON BESTSELLER (Sunday Times official!) A hilarious and inspiring guide to transforming your life through lessons from drag, by the UK's favourite drag queen and star of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, Bimini Bon Boulash. 'MAGIC! A fun, fierce, honest origin story of how to drag yourself up out of trouble and become an icon' Katherine Ryan 'A triumph for UK queer culture' Travis Alabanza 'Eye-opening, intelligent, thoughtful as well as sassy and surprising - a must read' Lorraine Kelly _______________________________________ Bimini Bon Boulash is the nation's sweetheart, capturing hearts and minds as the gag-inducing, death-dropping, plant-based breakout star of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 2. Not only did she make us laugh and cry, she showed us how to develop a Positive Mental Attitude and live happily and healthily outside society's idea of 'normal'. Telling the story of how drag took her from the brink of self-destruction to the mainstage, as well as life lessons drawing on convention-breaking icons from Kate Moss to Katie Price, in this book Bimini uses all her wit, charm and kindness to show us how to lead the lives we wish we could lead, through the life-changing magic of dragging up. _______________________________________ 'Radical, life-affirming, and utterly important for this time' Riyadh Khalaf 'A very important read' Gottmik 'She's a superstar' Kathy Burke 'You will always be our winner' Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London 'A force of nature' James Acaster

Pickpick

I love Bimini, so this was always going to be a Pick. They eloquently tell us their thoughts & ideas around gender and identity with positivity and panache.

In many ways, Bimini and I are polar opposites and there is so much I'd like to discuss with them!

There are lots of words of encouragement to be found within these pages and I'd recommend it to anyone struggling with their identity.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Prairiegirl_reading I also love Bimini! Must get this!! 😄 2y
RaeLovesToRead @Prairiegirl_reading They're awesome! 😁🙂 2y

Ordered these last week along with my DVD haul... (I blame @DaveGreen7777 for getting me in the movie mood!) ?

Three completely different books...

Bimini was my fave from drag race UK last year ?
I love The Institute's cover art
And I know very little about Nigerian politics so I'm hoping to learn something from Chronicles... (plus it had the word "whodunnit" in the synopsis)

Not going to buy any more books until I've made some TBR headway..

Prairiegirl_reading Uk season 2 is probably my favourite of all the seasons of drag race and Bimini was definitely a favourite! I‘m debating if I should get this on paper or audio. 🤔 I hope you enjoy it!!! 2y
BeeMagical The Institute is SO good... Intense, but so good! 2y
RaeLovesToRead @Prairiegirl_reading I only started watching it last season! (This is how I end up watching anything... my sisters make me!)I loved Bimini and can't wait to read what they have to say.. I'm sure either paper or audio would be good 😁 2y

Prairiegirl_reading @RaeLovesToRead I watched years ago but I stopped because we didn‘t have the channel for a while. Just this year I have watched all of them! (Lots of tv watching) I made my sister watch too!! 2y
RaeLovesToRead @Prairiegirl_reading Hahaha, I feel bad for my Dad because Mum & I watch Ru Paul, Bake Off, Portrait Artist of the Year, Strictly Come Dancing....... 🤣🤣 I don't usually watch a lot of TV, but it's that time of year... 2y
DaveGreen7777 I‘m really not helping you with all those “buying bans”, am I?!? 😂🙈 2y
RaeLovesToRead @DaveGreen7777 Haha, nope! You're a bad influence... 😜 but I'm turning over a new leaf right.......... NOW! (I got Kiss Kiss, but also The Grand Budapest Hotel and a couple more...👀) 2y
BeeMagical Hands down the best book Ive read this year/maybe ever?! 2y
RaeLovesToRead @BeeMagical Wow! I'll boost it right up the TBR then 😊 2y
