“Virginia Suicide” does Courtney Love
All I knew about this assignment is that there would be a gaggle of drag queens, a fashion contest in the vain of Project Runway, and it would take place at Mama Calizo’s Voice Factory down the street from our studio.

I love shooting drag queens and performers because they love being photographed. It’s a beautiful and symbiotic relationship.
If you haven’t yet checked out The Bold Italic site, you must. Especially if you’re from San Francisco. Lots of great first person stories about things you’re probably curious about (or would be if you were cool enough to know about it).
Read Josh’s story about Project Runtway, see designer Dominique Echeverria’s homage to Alexander McQueen, and get a taste of Virginia Suicide on thebolditalic.com!
