USA - The Drag Queens of New York

(7 Aug 1996) T/I: 10:29:50 9632 Drag Queens/New York/August 6/Ent 3 Birds of Paradise flock to New York Some of the top drag queens in New York gathered to celebrate the launch of a new book chronicling their life and times. The appropriately named 'The Drag Queens of New York: An Illustrated Field Guide', written by Julian Fleisher, details everything from heritage to plumage among New York's very own Birds of Paradise. The book is a simple at-a-glance guide that features New York's finest talking about what they undoubtedly love most; themselves. Twenty eight of the local superstars are included, from Aphrodite to Sherry Vine; and all the most private details from the stars' most private parts are included. Ultimately, the book serves to steer tourists, thrill-seekers and drag-hags in the right direction; towards the clubs and cabarets to see the objects of their affections. SHOWS: WS EXT.

WHY EACH OF THEM HAS SUCH A SINGULAR PERSONALITY. IT GIVES THEIR HABITAT, THEIR SPECIES THEIR PLUMMAGE, THE KIND OF WORK THEY DO AND IT GIVES AN INTERESTING STORY ABOUT EACH OF THEIR LIVES, AND HOW THEY GOT INTO DRAG. SOT JULIAN FLEISHER2: NO I DON'T THINK THERE ARE ANY BOOKS ABOUT DRAG THAT HAVE TAKEN THIS MUCH AN INTENSE LOOK AT WHAT IT MEANS BUT STILL TRIES TO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR. DRAG QUEEN, LINDA SIMPSON: AND IT PAYS REVERENCE TO THE DRAG QUEENS OF NEW YORK WHICH IS NICE BECAUSE WE HAVE MADE AN IMPACT FROM ANDY WARHOL DAYS TO CANDY DARLING AND HOLLY WOODLONG TO STONEMALL QUEENS WHO STARTED THE GAY REVOLUTION TO RU PAUL WHO'S BIG IN THE MEDIA TO,YOU KNOW, THE REST OF US. DRAG QUEEN TINA SPARKLES: I THINK THIS BOOK IN ITS UNPRETENTIOUS LITTLE WAY IS KIND OF A REAL DEFINITIVE SOURCE OF MATERIAL AND I THINK THAT PEOPLE THAT WRITE BOOKS LATER ON WILL BE ABLE TO USE THIS BECAUSE HE TOTALLY DOCUMENTS THIS OUTRAGEOUS NEW YORK SCENE WHICH I SEE NEW YORK AS THE DRAG QUEEN CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. DRAG QUEEN, THE LADY BUNNY: THERE ARE OTHER BOOKS ABOUT DRAG BUT THIS BOOK SPECIFICALLY TARGETS THE FASCINATING CREATURES THAT INHABIT NEW YORK CITY.
