All things are turning up Bimini Bon Boulash!
After winning all of our hearts onRuPaul's Drag Race U.K. series two -- and the hearts of her fellow queens as she was voted Miss Congeniality -- Boulash has hit the ground running. She has a public relations team, is doing editorials for everyone, and now she's working on a book.
"Bimini Bon Book Author," she wrote to Twitter. "A Drag Queens Guide To Life (working title and cover [to be announced]). On the [26th of October, 2021] I will be releasing the beast into the world."

The book comes as a part of a deal with Penguin Books.
"This book is an absolute 'don't wake me if I'm dreaming moment' and I can't wait to share it with the world," Boulash told Attitude. "Think of this as your anti self-help book - a manifesto that won't make you feel bad when you don't do things perfectly and encourage you to be kind to yourself always!"
In the book, the performer is expected to share 10 life lessons she's learned from drag about identity, politics, history, health, and drag.
"I'll be covering topics from positive affirmations to self-destruction with the help of my favourite muses and icons that have shaped my life including some darker moments." she wrote to Instagram. "Life can be unpredictable and I want to share the good with the bad. Think of this as a self-love manifesto with a punky attitude - I can't wait to share this with the world!"
