Book Description

Travel to Planet Drag and explore the styles, influences, artists, and events that have made the art of drag so outrageously popular in 15 countries around the world. Exquisitely styled by top drag artists, and with a foreword by Canada’s Drag Race judge Brooke Lynn Hytes, this is the ultimate guide to drag—a glittering, feathered foray into the past and present of this much-loved art form. Gloriously embellished with historical photos along with stylish contemporary shots of some of the world's biggest drag stars, this is a deep dive into drag’s meteoric rise to the mainstream. The carnival court of drag has exploded and it now holds a fierce place in popular culture. And while Rupaul's Drag Race does highlight some nuanced differences between national drag styles, there’s a lot more to the story that you don’t know… In this extravagant exploration across Planet Drag, we’ll stop at: The UK, where pantomime culture gave us a wicked comic attitude that still prevails Germany, home to tuntes who don’t see themselves as impersonating women at all The USA, a unique melting pot of drag culture France, where Joan of Arc is considered by some to be the very first drag king Australia, the country that birthed blockbuster film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which saw drag reach a whole new audience. Plus, 10 more countries that have altered and expanded the art of drag in ways you might not expect. This is drag unashamed, unneutered, unapologetic... and world-conquering. A must-have for any drag fan. Featuring contributions from Courtney Conquers, Zephyr Aspen, Kat Joplin, Alex Nolos, Javier Izquierdo Cubas, Jeffrey Rowe, Tsarlotte Lucifer, Juliana Santos, Courtney Norton, Presley Stewart, Viktor ‘Caffeine’ Skancke, Sara Altea Balestra and Gigi Rajkumar Guerandi.

Ours was a love bound by power... Falling in love with Dominic changed me. I relinquished myself completely and placed my heart and my trust in Dominic's hands, but in one exquisite, excruciating moment he abandoned his control. Anguished by his actions, he has locked those darkest desires inside, unable to share my conviction that it would never happen again. Now it's not only Dominic who craves that delicate, seductive game of give and take, of walking the line between pain and pleasure, abandon and release. Persuading Dominic to let those secret parts of himself unravel will be the biggest risk I've ever taken, but I can't resist. Even if it means we fall apart... Provocative and sophisticated, exhilarating and seductive, the AFTER DARK series is a compelling pleasure we should all indulge in.

She needs to move forward with her life, but how can she when Carson still owns her heart? Maybe showing up in the middle of the night unannounced isn’t the best route to unraveling the past and figuring out her future, but Tawny has played it safe for ten long years, and it's only made her long for the man she never should have walked away from.
