An exploration of what it means to be fabulous--and why eccentric style, fashion, and creativity are crucial. Is being fabulous only about labels, narcissism, and selfies? Or can acts of fabulousness be political gestures, too? Moore answers these questions in a book that explores how queer, black, and other marginalized outsiders use style and creativity in everyday life.
The potential of the idea of fabulousness as it manifests itself in queer, black and otherwise marginalised cultures as a politically defiant way of being is analysed through interviews, memoir and cultural history.
