Glitter and Concrete: A Cultural History of Drag in New York City | Elyssa Maxx Goodman

pick

Couldn‘t resist sneaking in another for #TitlesAndTunes #DramaQueens! I loved this history of drag in NYC. Queens and their art under greater attack than ever, but Goodman starts in the 19th century to show that drag has been and will always be here. I enjoyed following the trends from Jazz Age vaudeville to the AIDS crisis and 90s supermodel era. Cashing in on Drag Race appearances is also discussed.

Megabooks The author wrote about the founding of Scissor Sisters, and (by the magic of technology 😉) this song that I loved when it came out popped up in one of my Spotify curated playlists. You can‘t not sing along to it! 1y

BarbaraBB Oh wow, these choices are at least as good as your number ones 😘 1y

Cinfhen The “tuniverse” was definitely telling you something!! Glad you got the message 😍 1y

Cinfhen Also book sounds fab!! 1y

Megabooks @Cinfhen love that tuniverse!! 1y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB thanks friend! I‘m really enjoying these playlists! 1y

TieDyeDude Nice, I love Scissor Sisters! (I couldn't really get into the lead singer's autobio, though). This book sounds interesting/ 1y

Megabooks @TieDyeDude I didn‘t know much about the band other than liking their songs. The book is fascinating; just learning about how drag has changed so much yet endured. 1y

Cutting Teeth: A Novel | Chandler Baker

pick

Such #DramaQueens in this mommy thriller, but one of the FUNNIEST thrillers I‘ve read. The police interviews of the kids were SO WELL DONE in the audiobook! 🤩👍🏻

A classroom of 4 year olds starts drinking their mother‘s blood. Then their teacher is murdered. There are tiny bloody footprints near her. A group of 3 classroom moms with different feelings about the teacher start looking into who she is while trying to protect their kids from blame.

Megabooks #TitlesAndTunes I picked Hole‘s Celebrity Skin, which I loved to listen to when I felt extra dramatic in college! I still love it and have it on multiple Spotify playlists. 🤩 1y

BarbaraBB And I love that you chose Hole. Courtney Love is the number 1 #dramaqueen! 1y

Megabooks @yourfavouritemixtape for sure! They never seemed to get the respect they deserved as a band! 1y

squirrelbrain The book sounds bonkers! 😜 1y

Megabooks @BarbaraBB it was a really funny book! There was just so much drama around Courtney and Kurt‘s relationship and the aftermath. Some of it she brought on as well, but Hole really put out some great songs on their own, too. The video for this one was 🔥🔥! RIP videos on MTV. (edited) 1y

Megabooks @squirrelbrain it was in a very imaginative way!! 1y

BarbaraBB Those were the days, when MTV showed actual video‘s! 1y

Cinfhen This book sounds 🍌👖!!!! And what a fun tune! Is MTV still around even??? I really miss the good ole days of videos!!! Wow - nostalgia 1y

Megabooks @Cinfhen it was and the audio narration was PERFECT!! MTV is still around, but it‘s all reality shows now. Teen Mom reboot, Jersey Shore reboot, Catfish, etc. 1y

Cinfhen I actually really liked all those reality shows but I feel like we don‘t need reboots! Like Dire Straits…I want my MTV 1y

Cinfhen Cutting Teeth is on Scribd!!! Maybe I‘ll pick it up 🩵 1y

Megabooks @Cinfhen I do watch the Jersey Shore reboot, but I‘m getting a bit tired of it after 6 seasons of 25+ episodes. One major arc was that Sammi didn‘t do the reboot, but she‘s back for season six, but I‘m not impressed. I can always find a reality show to binge when I need something brainless. Steph and I are both watching a good season of 90Day Fiancé, which we both like, and discussing it in our DMs on Insta! ?? 1y

Megabooks @Cinfhen really interested to see what you think. I think you‘ll enjoy the narration at least!! 1y

Cinfhen Haha 😂 I love that you and Steph discuss on Insta - I know she‘s still obsessed with Sister Wives! I used to love Teen Moms - I bet those babies are now having babies😱 1y

Megabooks @Cinfhen I‘ll catch up TM when it comes to Paramount+ Amber‘s still a hot mess! I still love Catelynn and Tyler. They have three more girls now that they‘ve kept. The original TM kids are 14 and the TM2 kids are 13. Enough people left the show that the reboot has new people plus old ones from both casts. Chelsea has a show on HGTV that I watched one episode of. It was okay. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I feel like that network has two ideas it recycles over & over. 1y

Megabooks @Cinfhen I haven‘t watched the reboot since I can‘t get it on P+. It‘s called TM: Next Chapter. (edited) 1y

Cinfhen Sooooo crazy!! Are they still together Catelynn & Tyler?? Oy, poor Amber - she was such a hot mess - the worse was Farrah oh and what about Jenelle?? The scary thing - these girls are all about Niki‘s age🤯 1y

Megabooks @Cinfhen yes, C&T still together. Farrah left a long time ago. She‘s ridiculous. Jenelle‘s story is sad. She‘s in an obviously abusive marriage. They would play 911 calls she made her last season. 😭😭 Her husband shot her dog 😱😱😭😭 and wasn‘t allowed to film. She left shortly after that. 1y

Cinfhen Wow! Im so NOT surprised but what a disaster regarding Jenelle- so sad 😭 1y
