Date Published: July 22, 2024
This satirical tale disguised as a children’s book follows an aspiring drag
queen with dreams of dazzling stages and glittered wigs eager to shine in a
world determined to hold him back.
Convinced that the tough buckaroos in the neighboring town of Ruff Ridge,
known for their rugged cowboy way of life and home to the clothing brand
Ruff Ryder, will hinder his glamorous ambitions, he devises an ingenious
plan to win their acceptance. With courage, creativity, and a pair of chaps,
he embarks on a journey to turn his dreams into reality.
Inspired by real events, this clever, funny, and heartwarming tale explores
identity, ambition, and community. The story celebrates individuality,
courage, and the transformative power of being true to oneself, all while
providing a thought-provoking reflection on the politics of our times.
