Whether you're looking for health and beauty tips or microguides to running your home, you'll find something to love in Trixie and Katya's Guide to Modern Womanhood." —Bustle, A most anticipated Book of July 2020 "If the shaking ghosts of Emily Dickinson, William Shakespeare, and Jane Austen could speak right now, they’d be all 'Oh, hoooooney!' as drag superstars Trixie Mattel and Katya rise to the status of literary icons. . . . One of the funniest books of the year." —Entertainment Weekly "The Drag Race superstars have managed to boil down their collective, unmatched charisma to a series of essays—a working mix of satire and earnestness—that offer up advice on beauty, relationships, self-love, and friendship. A somewhat tongue-in-cheek play on the etiquette books of yore, there is no part of this breezy read that isn’t thoroughly engaging." —The A.V. Club "RuPaul's Drag Race alumnae Trixie Mattel and Katya deliver an outrageously funny satirical self-help guide that is also smart and insightful... a laugh-out-loud mixture of profane standup and stylish advice writing that rivals Miss Manners at her best. Filled with kooky, brightly colored photos of the outrageous duo, Trixie and Katya's Guide to Modern Womanhood is a visual delight. And the eye-catching design is matched by the smart and zany tongue-in-cheek advice skillfully dispensed by Trixie and Katya." —Shelf Awareness "Their first book is a satirical guide to life told through essays and conversations that channel their chaotic-in-a-great-way energy. . . . Will you cry-laugh? Yes ma'am." —PureWow About the Author Trixie Mattel is a drag performer, singer-songwriter, and comedian. She is thinner and richer than Katya.

This isn’t alluding to your competitively priced dandruff-controlling shampoo. Among all the attributes one can present, being the sharpest acrylic toenail on the foot is the most select. In the real world, outwitting another is the equivalent of creeping up to their ear and whispering, “I am inherently better than you.” The iconic John Waters said, “If you go home with somebody, and they don’t have books, don’t fuck ’em! Don’t sleep with people who don’t read!” Truthfully, you don’t know where they keep their books, so this advice is fairly incomplete. In the summer, I keep my books in my refrigerator next to my AAA batteries and my watermelon SKYY vodka. Also: Owning books doesn’t make someone intelligent. Reading books doesn’t even make someone intelligent. You’re reading a book right now and you’re dumb as hell. Of course, intelligence presents in many
