Release the Beast

Description

A hilarious and inspiring guide to transforming your life through drag, from the UK's favourite drag queen and star of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, Bimini Bon Boulash. Bimini Bon Boulash captured hearts and minds on both sides of the Atlantic as the gag-inducing, death-dropping, plant-based breakout star of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 2.
Not only did she make us laugh and cry, she showed us how to develop a Positive Mental Attitude and live happily and healthily outside society's idea of "normal."
Telling the story of how drag took her from the brink of self-destruction to the mainstage, as well as life lessons drawing on convention-breaking icons from Kate Moss to Katie Price, in this book Bimini uses all her wit, charm, and kindness to show us how to lead the lives we wish we could lead, through the life-changing magic of drag. Bimini Bon Boulash is a drag performer from east London and star of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Season 2. She invented veganism about seven years ago.
Jules Scheele is an illustrator, graphic facilitator and comic book artist. They have been making artwork and zines about identity and queerness for over a decade, and also illustrated Queer: A Graphic History and its follow-ups with author Meg-John Barker.

THE UK'S DRAG SUPERSTAR: Bimini was the undisputed star of the much-discussed lockdown hit show RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2, with a devoted following of 864k Instagram followers and 258.5k Twitter followers.

BREAKING NEW GROUND: A queer self-help manifesto, featuring 10 subversive anti-life lessons Bimini has learnt from drag, that gets across a radical self-love and acceptance message to a wide range of readers who desperately need it.

BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED: The book will feature pen and ink illustrations of Bimini and her inspirational non-conformist icons by acclaimed illustrator Jules Scheele.
