“After many years in business, Jones was struck by the notion that Jesus’ leadership approach with his staff ran counter to most of the management styles employed today… Following the example of Jesus—a ‘CEO’ who took a disorganized ‘staff’ of 12 and built a thriving enterprise—Jesus, CEO details a simple, profound, fresh and often humor-filled approach to motivating and managing others.”

Part autobiography, part self-help book, part how-to manual for aspiring drag queens, Lettin' It All Hang Out is a heartfelt, sassy and intelligent self-portrait of someone who dared to be different and never looked back—from his loving but difficult childhood, to his initial awareness of “being different,” to his various early drag personae, to his present status as “Queen Of All Media.” For all of its saturation in “queenspeak” irony the book, to its great credit, is utterly void of catty mean-spiritedness. Not just for those interested in crashing through the gender barrier, Lettin' It All Hang Out is an inspiring tale of perseverance and success in the face of considerable adversity. It's also a lot of fun. Replete with photos (the Diva in company with fellow luminaries Elton John, Nirvana, Elizabeth Taylor), a breathtaking array of lists (RuPaul's Favorite Books, Photo Shoot Tips, Drag Names: Mix & Match ), a U.S. discography and filmography.
