If RuPaul is muthaaaa, Michelle Visage is a prominent mother and ally of the LGBT community, especially among drag queens. In true mom fashion Visage offers a lot of cheesy, if well-intended and heartfelt, advice. If you are queer or a qween you probably already know a lot of what she has to say, but that does not make her spiel any less entertaining or comforting to read.

I cannot say I agree with the entirety of her world view, but I really did enjoy reading about her shenanigans during the 90's. She has undeniably lead a life grounded in resilience and a strong work ethic. The constants of her every changing career seem to be wanting people to pay attention to her, but also wanting to help people feel less isolated and more radiant.

After all is said and done, I have but one question: Did she write Chapter 7 with Laganja Estranja in mind? I mean, she (lovingly) reads Magnolia Crawford to filth in Chapter 19, so I feel that this is a legitimate question.
