perhaps it’s overdone to say someone lived “unapologetically” but he really did. This is my favorite autobiography of one of my favorite stars. He was glamorous, extremely smart, funny and talented—Both as a musician and as a reality star during his Big Brother years in the early 00s. The whole book is extremely entertaining and the way he goes in on industry censorship—most glaringly surrounding his gender expression—as well as the blurriness of boundaries in gay mentorship as a young person in the 70s is really compelling. I really connect to it every time I’ve read it (a few times.) Gwen Stefani has been looking a lot like 90s Pete lately and it makes me smile.
