Drag Queens
At Halloween in the early 80’s, Kit photographed drag queens in the West Village.
The action happening on the sidewalk became its own unique brand of street theatre. This was an era of daring and amusement that was so full of life.
The book these photographs were shot for was put aside as the onslaught of AIDS hit the community. Drag Queens: Street Theater of The 80’s was ultimately published in 2015.
Drag Queens: Street Theater of The 80’s is available to purchase on Amazon.
