Funny little blog about the photos being used for...well....drag queens!

Maybe it's just privilege talking, but the photos don't seem much less flattering than many of our photos of celebrities. It is the nature of the project: we have mostly amateur photographers taking candids at public events, so the subject inevitably has their mouth open speaking and doesn't look great.
