Workin' It! RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style is a self help book written by drag queen RuPaul, It was originally released in 2010 in hardback and e-book format. It is classified under management of family and personal life, but is also described as a style guide and has autobiographical elements, as Rupaul shares anecdotes from his own life as well as tips on fashion and confidence. Additionally, the book contains many full colour pictures of Rupaul both in and out of drag, photographed by Mathu Anderson, as well as indispersed inspirational quotes.^[1] It was promoted during it's release on season two of Rupaul's Drag Race during a challenge in which the competing queens had to conceptualize and market their own autobiographical novels in the style of RuPauls. ^[2]
