WIGSTOCK IN BLACK & WHITE

A NEW BOOK OF WIGSTOCK PICS BY BOBBY MILLER FROM THE FESTIVAL'S BEGINNING UNTIL 2005.



About the book:

Wigstock was a free outdoor festival that ran from 1985 - 2005 in NYC at various locations. Made up of drag queens, hippies, punks, rock stars and a smattering of various alternative communities. A free all day event of performance and kooky antics. Founded by the legendary drag queen The Lady Bunny ( along with Hattie Hathaway) it finally ended its twenty year run in 2005. It also became a documentary style film called " Wigstock the movie" directed by Barry Shils which can be found at your local rental shop. Wigstock is gone but will never be forgotten. Long live the queen.

Great shots of performers like Billy Beyond (above), Loretta Hogg, Princess Zoraya, Hattie Hathaway--it goes waaaaaaay back.
