Joey Brooks, The Show Must Go On is the story of The First Lady of Ybor from the days of El Goya to present day. Female Impersonator, Show director, hostess, author... "Old school, new school, no school... who gives a shit? I'm too old to go to school. I barely remember last week. When I get too old to remember what the fuck I did when I was young ...ger, I'll just open one of these books and laugh my ass off. I wonder how many other queens had this much fun becoming one of the icons of their community. Too funny. I just called myself an icon. Hell, I must be a queen. Only a female impersonator could call themselves a diva, a queen, a star without people giggling behind her back. Giggling is good. A twenty-dollar bill is better.
The first massive DRAG411 compilation book on the craft of male and female impersonation. Over 155 female impersonators (and 1 male impersonator) from around the world shared over a thousand insightful comments in the first handbook created of this art form.

Hundreds of invitations sent to the titleholders, pageant promoters, judges, and talent show hosts to share their insight on not only winning pageants and contests but also owning the stage every time they perform. Their topics included auxiliary steps to success needed for song selection, dancing, movement on stage, props, backup dancers, creating your own edge, personal interviews, steps to success for winning the talent category every time you step on stage, on stage questions, evening wear, and creative costuming. They discussed in their own unedited words, wardrobe changes, makeup, hair, shoes, when is the time to compete, qualities needed for a judge, and the top misconceptions of contestants competing in the pageantry systems. From DRAG411, the largest organization for male and female impersonators, with over 6,000 entertainers in 32 countries. 100%% of profits benefit HIV/AIDS families through The Joshua Tree Feeding Program.
No person in LGBT history created more books on the craft of male and female impersonation than Todd Kachinski Kottmeier, truly the drag historian. The library of resource books, written by thousands of performers around the world, garnered eleven world records and broke ground on topics as widespread as mentoring to the steps to winning a crown. The Official Drag Handbook, The Forum, Crown Me , Drag Bully, Drag Parents, Drag Stories, Joey Brooks, The Show Must Go On, Best Said Dead, Following Wynter, Dirty Little Secrets, Turn Around Bright Eyes, The Hunt for The Drag Queen Killer and Second Ovation carry his name on the title. The DRAG GUIDE is a two-book set by over 350 performers, divided faintly into book one for Kings, book two for Queens. The name, "Drag," marginally used is the most common phrase accepted by the most amount of entertainers. A term the contributors voted en masse, though the title also uses the softer and more appropriate term of impersonator.

The ground-breaking book smashed records around the world, and continues to be the number one compilation resource guide for the fourth year in a row. Two thousand, six hundred invitations were sent around the world to male and female impersonators. Each invitation begged them to invite entertainers they respected to join the dialogue. The original purpose for the information, was to create realistic characters for the novel, "Turn Around Bright Eyes" by Steve Hammond and Todd Kachinski Kottmeier (for the sequel to "Two Days Past Dead). The response to the survey broke LGBT records, inspiring the two authors to release the dialogue as their next book. The author's (and none of the contributing writers) earn a cent from this or any DRAG411 book. All of their money is donated directly in full to Joshua Tree. Joshua Tree Feeding Program assists HIV/AIDS families for over a quarter century to eat each week in a nation of plenty.

What is a drag king? Why have drag kings not been as numerous or as popular as their drag queen counterparts in popular culture? Are drag kings lesbians? The Drag King Book tells you everything you've wanted to know and more about the lives and performances of contemporary male impersonators. The book profiles many different performers, among them San Francisco's larger-than-life Elvis Herselvis and New York's mackdaddy Dred, and presents interviews with drag kings alongside descriptions and analyses of actual shows. Lavishly illustrated with over 100 pictures by transgender photographer Del LaGrace Volcano, The Drag King Book is a striking testament to the multiple forms of gender variance today.
