There seems to be a bottomless well of these.

Screen fame obviously equals a throbbing desire to get into heels if you're a man and a bowler hat if you're a dame.

These are thanks to the J.C. Suares-edited book Hollywood Drag.

Yesterday, I was looking at another photo book, "Ladies Or Gentleman," with friends over lunch. Later that day, i ran into Matthew Modine on his bike. I told him, "I just saw you in a book about movie stars in drag. "Private School!" he replied, remembering. A felicitous moment.
