Half Drag
I feel like this picture goes along perfectly with chapter 5. I love the way that this photograph shows so clearly yet beautifully the half man, half drag. From previous articles that I have read and movies that I have seen I feel like this photograph demonstrates how deep this transformation is, not only on a physical level that is clearly seen to the public but on a more personal level as well. Some drag friends that I personally have find it as a form of escape and acceptance into this new world. As the book mentions gender constructs sex, not only with drag queens but as the book mentioned cross dressers as well. "The body is an extension of the psyche, is imagined more than it is composed of physical delineated parts" Which mens that just because they are drag queens or cross dressers does not necessarily mean that they are transsexuals or transgendered.
