D.R.A.G.: Divas Really Are Grand (Archives - Photography by Cassone)

Over the years as an entertainer, I have had the distinct privilege to work with some amazing entertainers on the female impersonation circuit. These cabaret performers and illusionist transform themselves from male to some of the most beautiful females for the sake of performance art and creativity with the use of makeup, wigs, poise, gait and costume to create their character's personas. It truly is an art form, and the more I got in to photography, my co-stars in show have becomes some of my favorite muses. In fact, on my YouTube channel some of their videos are some of the channel's most popular, which I hope will delight my subscribers for years to come.
