Drag Queens are Back

Maybe not by popular demand, but I did warn some off the lads that they may be back.

One thing before I start, I know these are not brilliant. You have to judge the flash lighting which is brilliant, not allowed to use flash and they are caked in makeup so not much detail on the faces.

I bring you Miss America

Crikey, shes(?) a rival for that BTCC Nuts girl!

Nice definition in the hair(wig?)

From the look of the cut on that leotard I think you've got a great composition, and lower down may have taken the focus from the face

Re: Drag Queens are Back

Holo - these are both fascinating and disturbing. In equal measure.

A quick question though - when you shot the second one, how did you stop the camera reflecting in the mirror?

I know the subject matters not to everybody taste, but I must admit if the chance came around that I could shot these again I would take it.

Had a little chat about these at the meet, and I think Gordon thought I was starting to visit the seedier side of Ruislip


Any way another from me.

Don't mention the seedier side of Ruislip to me - I used to go the Viking pub

With regard to photo I think it is a very good piece of work. Perhaps you should offer to do some publicity shots for the girls/buys? Yes! I am serious, (for a change).
