520    "The four-time winner of the Emmy for outstanding reality 
       series, RuPaul's Drag Race never set out to win over 
       conventional America or climb the ladder of mainstream pop
       culture success. Its first season was classic 
       counterculture, developed and filmed while President G.W. 
       Bush was in office but launched at a time when Obama fever
       was at a national high. Over thirteen years and about 160 
       drag queen contestants later, everything from its language
       and style has seeped into the culture, cementing its place
       in herstory, one tuck at a time. With viewers everywhere 
       from the halls of Congress to Wall Street, from big cities
       to small towns, Drag Race has become a worldwide 
       phenomenon. Told over its first ten years, encompassing 
       the show's first 14 seasons, And Don't F&%k It Up tells a 
       cultural history through the stories of the people who 
       lived it: the creators of the show, the contestants, the 
       crew, the judges, and even some key (famous) fans. It 
       begins with RuPaul's 34-year friendship and business 
       relationship with World of Wonder Productions, the 
       entertainment company that helped launch him into 
       superstardom, and later talked him into giving a drag 
       reality show a chance. From there, it traces the evolution
       of the show--and its queens--through a decade of gag-
       worthy seasons, serving up all kinds of behind-the-scenes 
       realness, from Ongina's decision to reveal her HIV+ status
       to the story behind Asia O'Hara's butterfly finale fiasco.
       With a history as shady and funny as it is dramatic and 
       inspiring, RuPaul's Drag Race is a mirror reflecting the 
       cultural and political mores of our time. Its meteoric 
       rise to becoming a once-in-a-generation success story is 
       explored here as never before, in intimate, exuberant, 
       unfettered detail"--|cProvided by publisher.
