Why Drag?

For over a decade, Magnus Hastings has been photo-graphing the world's greatest drag superstars and asking each of them a simple question: Why drag? The result is this mesmerising volume in which the queens strut their stuff and reflect on their shared passion through a mixture of quips and philosophising. Subjects include icons of real­ity TV and underground drag royalty, and photographs range from the divine to the trashy. Featuring the likes of Bianca Del Rio and Courtney Act, this collection is a beau­tiful celebration of drag as an art form and an exhilarating exploration of what drag means to its greatest artists.
