Who wouldn't want to read a memoir of an emotional wreck alcoholic who works as an advertising executive at day, but loved transforming himself into a blonde drag queen by night?
Okay.
A lot of people wouldn't.
But, still.
I seriously did not expect to get sucked into this book since I had no idea who the author is, or what he did. Sometimes it got hilarious, but if Kilmer-Purcell had been the type to pity himself and his life, I would have found it to be really awfully sad.
