Publisher's Synopsis
The Largest bullying project in LGBT history for struggling entertainers. Advice from over a hundred male, female, and androgynous impersonators around the world to help entertainers struggling with their family, peers, relationships, neighbors, regular jobs, venues, and successfully overcoming self-doubt. Best-selling author Todd Kachinski Kottmeier created DRAG411 to document the lives of impersonator years ago. It is now the largest organization for impersonators on earth with over 7,000 entertainers in 32 countries.More than 100 people contributed to developing and answering the questions that comprise the chapters of this book. We chose the best, most comprehensive, insightful, or most common. To all of the contributing writers, we owe a debt of gratitude for the thousands of words donated to help inspire, motivate, and show a world, "they are not alone." We asked thousands of male, female, and androgynous impersonators to send us anonymous words of wisdom to share on these topics. We did not place credit to each sentence crediting each entertainer for a reason. Often when people get mad at someone, they ignore even their helpful advice. We needed someone bullied to understand the wisdom, untethered by preconceived attitudes. Sometimes the person you may dislike the most, survived the exact same situation. DRAG BULLY is about survival; its words donated without conditional support by performers, including: AJ Menendez, Alana Chapelle, Alexandra Bond, Amy DeMilo, Anastacia Rose, Anastasia C Principle, Anita Rivera, Ashl Farrington, Ashton "the origin8r", Aurora Lee Richards, B.
