Critic reviews

"While the book...is characteristically filthy and funny, it does contain a surprising amount of legitimately useful career advice. Or perhaps not so surprising, considering these two advisors have forged some of the most successful and versatile post-Drag Race careers." —The Hollywood Reporter

"In this hysterical sequel to Trixie and Katya’s Guide to Modern Womanhood, the drag queens pontificate on finding success in the professional world... This bawdy manual slays." —Publishers Weekly

“Witty, stunning, and unexpectedly practical, this is for anyone who hasn’t yet invented Post-Its, but they’re on their way.” —Booklist

"For librarians serious about building up both their modern humor sections and their selections of books written by drag queens, this sequel is a must." —Library Journal

"Trixie and Katya...are polished, clever writers and, with every book, gain a stronger foothold on Miss Manners's throne. They offer outrageously funny advice that is often surprisingly thoughtful and practical.... Albert Sanchez and Pedro Zalba's vibrant photographs are a visual treat. Katya is especially chameleon-like when spoofing the looks of the leading ladies of Basic Instinct, Working Girl and Mad Men." —Shelf Awareness

"Brimming with biting humor, both savvy and satirical advice, and hilarious, gorgeous photos to boot, Trixie and Katya take on the challenge of finding success in the workplace. From finding the perfect interview outfit, to asking for a raise, getting fired with dignity, and everything in between — do you actually hope that email finds us well, Beverly???? — the RuPaul’s Drag Race legends also cull wisdom from their own esteemed careers to set you, the modern woman, up for success."
—Paper Magazine

"It should be crystal-clear by merely looking at the cover of Working Girls: Trixie & Katya’s Guide to Professional Womanhood that this book pokes plenty of fun at the world of work. It’s funny, saucy, and over-the-top and it actually includes surprisingly decent advice, too.... Bring your sense of humor when you tackle this book, but bring your resume, too. Working Girls... is funny and useful, and, well, you want it." —Washington and Los Angeles Blade

I can't wait to use what these two dishwashers taught me. I too also now feel like top quality girl boss wig house down nerves yes,




God.

Fun but not as real

I generally enjoyed Trixie and Katya's first book, especially as an audio experience. So I held out to get the audiobook for their second book in order to more or less replicate that experience. This book is similar to the first one in that it still provides humorous advice that ranges from the plausibly useful to the ridiculously satirical. But now all the advice is just focused on the workplace and careers, things get a little one note at times.

I think the book really shines towards the end when they address drag as a career. Then the advice, while still comedic, ends up being more sensible or at least better grounded on experience. And maybe that's the pinpoint of a lot of the building. It feels like a lot of jokes that they're hoping will land (and most still will) but not quite as personal as things felt even in first book.

It's still fun, but it definitely feels like a sequel.

hilarious!

Felt like this was written specifically as an audiobook, and I'm here for it!. It definitely gave me podcast vibes in the best way possible. I can't get enough of these two! I was in a bit of a mental slump and this book is what finally lifted my spirits out of a burning dumpster. Thank you Tricia and Russian!
