Dungeons and Drag Queens: Fire Island through the eyes of its worst drag queen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781793186669)

In his second collection of humorous essays, comedian, Greg Scarnici recounts some of his shocking and scandalous experiences over twenty-five seasons on New York's Fire Island. From tea dances in Fire Island Pines to drag competitions in Cherry Grove, Scarnici paints a picture of what a typical summer on the island of misfit boys is like. Highlights include being crowned the Worst Drag Queen in Cherry Grove, getting innocently lured to a "sex dungeon" that was actually a 3X4 garden shed, and riding the ferry as his alter ego, Levonia, every Fourth of July with two hundred other drag queens during the annual Invasion of The Pines.Along the way, Scarnici weaves in some of the history of Cherry Grove, and introduces some of its most colorful characters. Find out what it's like to slap on a synthetic wig on a ninety-degree afternoon, hook up in the notorious Meat Rack, and party on the beach until the sun rises during the annual Pines Party. "Greg Scarnici is not only on Fire Island, he's on fire His breathless tales of drag queens subverting and carrying on in the Pines and the Grove are as revealing and informative as Speedos on a flaccid penis." -Michael Musto, NewNowNext"Greg has given me the greatest gift - hearing his stories is like getting to eavesdrop and spy on my favorite misfit boys until I'm clutching my pearls and gasping."- Cecily Strong, Saturday Night Live"I'm still not sure if I should be flattered or sue over the story of mine Greg shares, but since the rest of his Fire Island tales are painted in equally hilarious and scandalous shades, I'm just gonna keep my attorney on retainer in case this becomes a movie." - Sherry Vine, Drag DivaGreg Scarnici's other books include his debut collection of humorous essays, "I Hope My Mother Doesn't Read This", his parody of Madonna's SEX book entitled, "SEX IN DRAG", and his upcoming parody of a vintage gay porn magazine, "Hot Rods".
