Critic reviews

"Gorgeous, hugely talented, funny, charismatic, adorable, Chaney is a goddess and brings us joy." (Lorraine)

"Lawrence Chaney is the funniest queen by a country mile. She has delivered the laughs a locked down nation needed in abundance. But there's much more to Chaney than her quick wit. Her vulnerability is also part of her natural gift." (Vogue)

Alright, babe!

Lawrence got me from the first word on Drag Race: UK. Once again, she got me from the first word of this book. So many great insights about makeup, becoming famous, mental health, and growing up in a community while trying to find your voice. I would recommend this one very highly!

Entertaining

Got to learn a bit more about Lawrence and some drag tips for those who are interested. I was enteretained

The Queen is here.

Lawrence Cheney was the. Charismatic love. sarcastic. Sarcastic Queen from RuPaul's Drag Race. UK season 2 and to read Lawrence's back stories to understand that everyone has a story regardless of what continent you are and irrespective of how old you are, what color you are, and what you are. In Lawrence's book, you learn what it's like to question your sexuality, what it's like to, at one point, ask your gender—also, the feelings of, or lack thereof, of self-worth or believing. You are a benefit to anything until you learn where your voice is. This is a fantastic read, and it also should be read by future drag Queens, letting you know some of the skills you need to invest in and ensure you do. It's enough that this season 16 just finished for Queens to keep going on and not be able to sell at all. It is ridiculous also. Lawrence talks about the evolution of his makeup and where his love of purple comes from. All in all, it is a lovely book. I highly recommend it if you like Drag Rice or Dragon General. This is a fantastic book to get a hold of.

Loved it!

I wanted to order the book on Amazon, but shipping would’ve taken too long so I started to listen to it via Audible. As a fan, this book solidified my love for Lawrence Chaney. This book made me laugh from Lawrence’s quick, witty humor and made me tear up from listening to very emotional stories.
As a fan of Lawrence, of course I would recommend this! Also as a fan of Drag Race, this was a great listen. Lawrence was a great narrator for this book. I highly recommed this. Looking forward to buy the book as well.
