The New York Times Hailed as the greatest cabaret artist of V's generation in the New Yorker Mx. Justin Vivian Bond makes a brilliant literary debut with this candid and hilarious coming - of - age tale. Bond recalls in vivid detail how it looked and felt to first discover Mom's lipstick (Iced Watermelon by Revlon) and how dreary it could be for a trans/queer kid to join the Cub Scouts. Always haunted by the knowledge of being "different " Bond began to create intimate friendships with girls and to feel increasingly at risk with boys.
