We read somewhere that Frank DeCaro’s glorious new book which is one of the most comprehensive guides to Drag was meant for children to know its history. Sorry kids its way too good for you.
Journalist/Broadcaster DeCaro possesses a detail knowledge of the subject because he says he has always been a ‘drag hag.’ We love the fact too that he emphasises the common misapprehension that drag started with RuPaul is so wrong, When you read DeCaro taking us back in time, ‘she’ is almost a newcomer.
It’s not just the tales of the early pioneers of this craft that makes this book almost impossible to put down, but the fact that DeCaro has such respect for all the performers large and small that practice this artform that has played such a major part in the transformation of our community. Unmissable
