It appears that Bravo has optioned Josh Kilmer-Purcell’s boozy drag memoir I Am Not Myself These Days for their slate of new programs. However, the teevee version veers ever-so-slightly from its source material. See if you can spot the difference.
About the book: “I Am Not Myself These Days is Josh Kilmer-Purcell’s outrageously intimate memoir of a young man living a double life in the heady days and nights of mid-’90s New York City. As we follow Kilmer-Purcell through alcohol-fueled nights and a love affair with Jack, a crack-addicted male escort…By day, Josh drudges off to a Soho-based advertising firm where he creates ad campaigns for corporate clients. At night, he dons live goldfish to complete the look of Aqua, a 7-foot-tall award-winning drag queen who trolls gay clubs in search of her next drink/one night stand.”
About the show: “I’m Not Myself These Days, a one-hour scripted drama based on the novel of the same name. The series follows a straight, married man who lives a double-life as a drag queen.”
