By day, he’s a sharp-suited advertising art director. By night, he’s Aqua, a glitter-drenched drag queen with goldfish swimming in her bra.
In this unforgettable memoir, Josh Kilmer-Purcell pulls back the sequined curtain on his wild double life in late-90s New York. The nights are loud, the parties are legendary, and the love story at the center of it all is as messy as it is magnetic.
From smoky clubs to fragile relationships, this is a raw, darkly funny portrait of transformation, addiction, identity, and love. It’s outrageous, yes, but it’s also deeply human.
Before the Beekman Boys and the goat milk soap, there was Aqua. And she has stories.
This is not just a memoir. It’s a crash course in becoming yourself, one misstep at a time.
