Alaska 5000 is one of the most successful and beloved queens to emerge from RuPaul’s Drag Race. A dry wit comedy assassin, her drag style is glitzy, absurd and profoundly shaped by a lifelong love of Catwoman. Along the way Alaska’s grappled with drugs, alcohol and the relationship-wrecking power of the 'fame monster.' She’s written a memoir called My Name’s Yours, What’s Alaska?
