Soon, kids like Aja were kicking their way into the scene, sneaking into clubs, pocketing their tips to help mom pay the mortgage, and sharing the stage with electric performers like Thorgy Thor and Sasha Velour. Because suddenly, in the biggest, brightest city in America, drag was offering young, broke, creative queer people a chance at real money--and for millions of people to learn their names. In these pages, journalist Nicole Pasulka joyfully documents the twenty-first century rebirth of the New York drag scene, following a group of iconoclastic performers with charisma, talent, and a hell of a lot to prove. A rollicking account of the quest to make a living through an art form on the cusp of becoming a cultural phenomenon--as well as a chronicle of all the struggles, fights, and disappointments along the way--How You Get Famous offers an unmissable romp through the gritty and glamorous world of Brooklyn drag."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 792.7028 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
