Trixie and Katya's Guide to Modern Womanhood

Trixie Mattel and Katya, the drag performers who met on RuPaul's Drag Race and later starred in UNHhhh, take on the role of two experts in femininity. Their book is a satirical etiquette guide for ladies, modelled on the old-fashioned manuals of beauty and homemaking.

The guide mixes essays, conversations between the two authors and how-to sections, with photographs throughout. Beauty and fashion get their own advice. So do the other parts of a happy home: money, self-love and friendship.

The advice comes with personal stories from both authors, delivered in a high-concept, tongue-in-cheek style. The joke is the pose of the authoritative household manual, and the two voices bounce off each other as they do on screen.

This is a humor title with a warm streak, aimed at readers who already follow the pair or enjoy send-ups of vintage advice books. It is light and funny, built for dipping into, with photographs doing a share of the comedy. It is non-fiction in form only: the tone is comic from the first page, and the personal stories add some heart.
