Oklahomo

Christian Madrigal (clothier to Heidi Klum, Dita Von Teese, Anne Hathaway, Tom Ford) has written a funny, sometimes disturbing memoir of his kaleidoscopic youth as a poorly chaperoned child, then entirely unchaperoned teen in the gay underground of the nation's midwest. Oklahomo is the funny and sad tale of a reluctant runaway drag queen with a hole in his heart and a pistol in his purse. From an underage mother and violent father figure; to run-ins with police, puritans, pedophiles, and a witch; to working as a barely teenage drag queen in the bible-belt of the 1980s--it's a story that keeps no secrets, no matter how distasteful.
