Description

A riotous tale of pop culture, backstage drama and showbiz gossip from the co-producer of RuPaul's Drag Race and award-winning director Fenton Bailey World of Wonder is the iconic Hollywood-based production company behind RuPaul's Drag Race as well as other balls-y originals including The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Party Monster, Inside Deep Throat and Monica in Black and White. The production company, founded in 1991 by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, has been making must-see television for three decades, giving a voice to marginalised communities and society's oddballs, all while entertaining audiences with its signature anarchic sense of humour. Written by co-founder and Emmy award-winning filmmaker Fenton Bailey, this book tracks World of Wonder's triumphs and struggles, from the pair's humble beginnings as aspiring pop stars in '80s New York to managing 'Supermodel of the World' RuPaul. Packed full of insider gossip featuring a star-studded litany of LGBTQ+ icons such as James St James, Pete Burns, Cher and Britney, this book reveals how Fenton and Randy helped to pioneer the revolutionary genre of reality TV and find success in an ever-changing media landscape. A must-read for Drag Race die-hards as well as fans of pop culture and reality TV.
