Description
Well Pale Face saidTo the Eyeball Kid
'She just goes clank and boom and steam'
A halo, wings, horns and a tail..
Shoveling coal inside my dreams
There are no laws
She's made of cream
She's such a scream.
Tom Waits - Such a Scream

Thank you Sean. I think it's the only candid shot I've posted. If it were up to me I'd do nothing but take pix of drag queens for a month. It's such a relief compared to my usual group of friends who absolutely go blank in front of a camera.
Don't really blame 'em, same thing thing happens to me

I know...and I didn't even ask for the pose! I just walked up to him in a club and pointed my camera at him.
Always carry your camera with you...ya never know.

How un-hip of me, but I can't remember what album "Such a Scream" is from.
I read the above lyrics, then got distracted at the mention of "the Eyeball kid". And, to make matters worse, ('cause at this point I've had a couple glasses of wine) I start to here Tom Waits sing the song inside my head to the tune of ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man", which, when you think about it, are really quite similar in tempo. Or is that 'beat'? Who knows. gotta get me more wine..............

Dear Sara,
"Such a Scream" is the second track on Bone Machine. 1991 I think? Brilliant album.
Have a glass of wine for me!
Lurve,

Drag Queens are the best. You never have to ask to take their picture. They're just as likely to elbow their way into the frame of a picture that WASN'T meant to include them.

Actually just a quick snapshot in a New York nightclub.
Pays to bring your camera everywhere.

Glamour And Pain
I've had that dream again
Where I'm flying thirty feet
Above the street again
Looking though windows, there you are
Sitting down to eat again
It's the usual egg foo yung
You watch TV again
Put the kids to bed
And then I see you reaching for my number
Then I hate you even more
I see it all
But no one sees me fly - no-one feels my pain
No-one hears me cry - no-one knows my name
Is glamour and pain - glamour and pain
Do you remember me
Or just the shiny shiny shoes I had you kiss for me?
And my legs as smooth as chrome
Were you in ecstasy
As you were pumping out a flood of dollar bills for me
I'd cry mascara tears
If only I could give a fuck about it
And though you can't recall
I see it all
But no one sees me fly - no-one feels my pain
No-one hears me cry - no-one knows my name
Is glamour and pain - glamour and pain
I'm hanging in the air
I look in your window at my own lipstick reflection there
And behind it such a precious son et lumière
Of all the normal stuff about which I'm supposed to care
I'd like to smash right through
And help myself to your silverware
To cut your throat and run
Or maybe I'd just laugh at your expression
Hooray for Superwhore
I see it all
But no one sees me fly - no-one feels my pain
No-one hears me cry - no-one knows my name
Is glamour and pain - glamour and pain
See me fly - feel my pain
Hear me cry - know my name
Glamour and pain
Joe Jackson Lyrics
