INTRODUCTION: YOU AS A HUMAN PERSONAs far as we know, there are THREE facets of your humanity that make you YOU.
INTELLIGENCE
Have you ever heard the phrase she s got a good head on her shoulders ? This isn t alluding to your competitively priced dandruff-controlling shampoo. Among all the attributes one can present, being the sharpest acrylic toenail on the foot is the most select. In the real world, outwitting another is the equivalent of creeping up to their ear and whispering, I am inherently better than you.
The iconic John Waters said, If you go home with somebody, and they don t have books, don t fuck em! Don t sleep with people who don t read! Truthfully, you don t know where they keep their books, so this advice is fairly incomplete. In the summer, I keep my books in my refrigerator next to my AAA batteries and my watermelon SKYY vodka. Also: Owning books doesn t make someone intelligent. Reading books doesn t even make someone intelligent. You re reading a book right now and you re dumb as hell.
Of course, intelligence presents in many forms. I once worked the front desk at a prestigious salon in Wisconsin. (Contradictory, I know.) That s where I met Tara, a gorgeous young stylist with glowing skin, bright eyes, and supernaturally blond hair. She had a baby-doll voice and long charcoal lashes. Her clients consisted of women who wanted to be her and married men who wanted to abandon their families and abduct her. I was obsessed with Tara.
The average person would look at a Tara and decide she couldn t be a thinker. After her client consults, however, I would watch Tara bubble into the color room, pull out her glasses, and transition into a talented chemist. She could double-, triple-process colors and buzz out a

couple ultraprecise men s cuts in between. After performing dazzling feats of beauty, she would leave every client feeling like they just had lunch with a Playboy Bunny. Tara the not-so-scatterbrained stylist can teach us something! I learned that the girl who presents as ditzy might not want you to know how smart she is. Wielding intelligence welcomes expectation. It s better to lie in wait as a drooling stooge. Then you can floor everyone by solving a Rubik s Cube at a holiday party and be like, What?
BEAUTY
As long as I ve been alive, I have known I was gorgeous. The longing glances from adult strangers, the catty remarks from peers, the sexual advances from Uber drivers. Using vocabulary from my Friday afternoon Lyft trip with Mohammad, I am what you would consider five stars. However, beauty is entirely in the eye of the beholder. For example: A Trixie Mattel show was reviewed in Newcastle. Let s call the reviewer Kate because that s her name. Kate described me as someone who revels in the repulsion she exudes. Kate is, as my eye beholds, an ugly fucking cunt.
Of course, many physical attributes are inherently beautiful. Symmetrical features, an oval face, a gold grill. But in modern beauty, individuality and confidence are the oval face. Look at me, for example. Young? Childlike. Tight? As a drum. But I am, most importantly, odd-looking. Some would say I look like Patrick Stewart as a gay farmer. Some would say I look like an ASL interpreter who moonlights as a Klan member. I think I look like Caillou with fetal alcohol syndrome. But looking like a cross-dressing Elmer Fudd gives me uniqueness, and uniqueness has a magnetism a

Pressezitat
"Drag Race fans, rejoice! Whether you're looking for health and beauty tips or microguides to running your home, you'll find something to love in Trixie and Katya's Guide to Modern Womanhood."Bustle, A most anticipated Book of July 2020
"If the shaking ghosts of Emily Dickinson, William Shakespeare, and Jane Austen could speak right now, they d be all 'Oh, hoooooney!' as drag superstars Trixie Mattel and Katya rise to the status of literary icons. . . . One of the funniest books of the year."
Entertainment Weekly
"The Drag Race superstars have managed to boil down their collective, unmatched charisma to a series of essays a working mix of satire and earnestness that offer up advice on beauty, relationships, self-love, and friendship. A somewhat tongue-in-cheek play on the etiquette books of yore, there is no part of this breezy read that isn t thoroughly engaging."
The A.V. Club
"RuPaul's Drag Race alumnae Trixie Mattel and Katya deliver an outrageously funny satirical self-help guide that is also smart and insightful... a laugh-out-loud mixture of profane standup and stylish advice writing that rivals Miss Manners at her best. Filled with kooky, brightly colored photos of the outrageous duo, Trixie and Katya's Guide to Modern Womanhood is a visual delight. And the eye-catching design is matched by the smart and zany tongue-in-cheek advice skillfully dispensed by Trixie and Katya."
Shelf Awareness
"Their first book is a satirical guide to life told through essays and conversations that channel their chaotic-in-a-great-way energy. . . . Will you cry-laugh? Yes ma'am."
