Description
Summary:Drag is transformation, communication and, above all, exaggeration, where gender non-conformity is the plat du jour. This fearless book observes this increasingly complex world by exploring drag's journey, from the surprising, to the sophisticated, to the utterly bizarre, through the twentieth century and up to the present day. Fenton Bailey, producer of 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' gives an insightful foreword in this new paperback edition. With witty text, dazzling photography and corralled into thematic chapters, this is the first flamboyant and poignant survey of drag culture. Drag is not just for fabulous queens and drag enthusiasts, but for anyone interested in gender fluidity and the culture surrounding it.
