A fabulous visual history of a global phenomenon.

The success of RuPaul's Drag Race popularized the art of drag around the world. For the first time in history, a queer counterculture has achieved widespread renown.
Recounting the early origins of drag (DRess As a Girl) and tracing the course of its history through to the present day enables readers to understand what makes this art form unique. With the sense of style and humor that has made drag culture such a hit, this book features portraits and interviews with current drag queens (French and international), as well as useful information (playlists, glossary, famous venues, films to see), and is richly illustrated with exceptional archival images and photographs commissioned especially for the book.
