The
world’s most famous drag queen and former Atlantan, RuPaul visits
Outwrite Bookstore & Coffeehouse on TUESDAY,
FEBRUARY 16, at 7:30 p.m., to sign copies of the new book WORKIN’
IT! RuPaul’s Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style (It
Books).

RuPaul embodies style, sass,
self-expression — and success. Now in time for the second-season premiere of
the  hugely successful LOGO series, “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Ru brings us the
secrets of a fabulous life through outer style and inner beauty in WORKIN’ IT!

“To
truly create the best life ever,” says RuPaul,
“you must begin the work from the inside out. You must liberate yourself and clear
away the old mental habits that block you from moving forward. Style is a
celebratory expression of your life force. You must approach it with a sense of
joie de vivre. Open yourself to all the possibilities!”

For
RuPaul, those possibilities are endless
— if you live your life with no restrictions. But you must first learn the
rules — then by all mean throw them out! Filled with fashion, make-up, diet,
health tips, as well as advice on honing your craft (whatever it may be) and
learning to know yourself, WORKIN’ IT! draws
it’s life lessons from RuPaul’s own
extraordinary success breaking down barriers and reinventing the world’s
perceptions.

A
sassy sampling of the singular diva’s sage advice:

    · Don’t take life too seriously.

    · Do whatever you want, just as long as you
don’t hurt anyone in the process.

    · You cannot thrive in toxic relationships.

    · You need to be present.

    · Kindness is the new cool.

    · Proportion is everything.

    · Reinvention is the key.

RuPaul skyrocketed to international
fame with the CD release of, Supermodel of the World, which was followed by
roles in several feature films, The RuPaul Show on VH1, many high profile
endorsement deals (including a beauty contract with M.A.C Cosmetics), a wax
portrait at Madame Tussauds Museum in Times Square, a best-selling
autobiography and fund raising worldwide for people living with HIV/AIDS.
RuPaul's latest book is entitled "Workin' It: RuPaul's Guide to Life,
Liberty & the Pursuit of Style," while the second season of the global
phenomenon “RuPaul’s Drag Race” premiered on LOGO February 1, 2010.

Clarence Nero reads Temptations of Desire

at Outwrite Bookstore & Coffeehouse

Thursday Feb. 25, 2010

Synopsis:

Nero's compelling and heart-wrenching story revolves around the lives of five indomitable women faced with the reality that they only have each other to lean on as they struggle to sruvive the temptations of Desire, a housing project in New Orleans' infamous Ninth Ward that is on the verge of collapse.
