In this short and indeed quick read, Mama Ru presents us with his life lessons learnt along his own way, how to embrace and love ourselves a little more as well as how to figure out what clothes look good on us. In theory this can be done without purchasing a Prada suit, as mentioned.

Lots of this book wasn't really relevant to me (how to transform into a drag queen) though but certainly I gained something from it, as there are lots of inspirational quotes or lines I made a note of for future reference, as recently life has been a bit tough!

Not really a self help guide as such, as a lot of ingredients have been added to the brew here so it comes off a little like candy floss - pretty to look at and it gives you a decent enough sugar rush but may not provide you sustenance for what you're looking for.

I got this on my Kindle, so perhaps if I had got a physical copy, the photographs would have entranced me for hours. The book is now nearly ten years old, and I swear RuPaul hasn't aged a day since then.
