We dress for our own pleasure and get off on each other. It's our own small world; within it we understand and are understood - and we do what we want. When we put on our clothes, we feel free.

If other people want to share in our joy and freedom, they're welcome to. There's strength and self-confidence in the way I dress. Suddenly I don't feel ugly anymore. (by the models, text in the book)

These arresting photographs may delight you. Perhaps the will offend you. They will almost certainly inspire you to ask questions about yourself and your sexuality. They will not leave you cold. The Halloween glamour of the transvestite world is captured in these 55 superb photographs by Gilles Larrain. And, beneath the glitter and the pose, you will see the questing and vulnerable souls of people you might never meet outside these pages. People living out their fantasies, gallantly, brilliantly, and desperately – posing the disturbing challenge, “Who do you think YOU are?”

Illustrated softcover, 30.5 x 23 cm, first edition, colors photographs, in very good condition other than wear marks and the book slightly turning yellow.
