Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. An award-winning dance writer and for many years the fashion critic for The New Yorker, Brubach has been described as a writer 'who could make a safety pin sound fascinating'. As she and Michael O'Brien travel across the world to investigate drag, we meet a wonderful group of vivid personalities who bring cross-dressing to life. The result is a mainstream book that is as much about the imagination and artistry of men and women around the world who dress as members of the opposite sex as it is a lively debate about our received notions of gender. Brubach covers the drag scene in New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Rio, Tokyo, and Bangkok--each with its unique style. She describes individual artists and group events (Wigstock, a Romeo Gigli fashion show in Paris, the invasion of Cherry Grove on Long Island, a 'Diamonds Are Forever' party in Japan). O'Brien's photographs (black-and-white interspersed with the occasional brilliant color) portray a world of great diversity--witty, flamboyant, touching, and enormously imaginative. As Brubach and O'Brien travel across the world to investigate drag, readers are introduced to a wonderful group of vivid personalities who bring cross-dressing to life. 80 color photos.
