Review :
While we can never have enough Mama Ru, we are also aware that the world of drag deserves endless appreciation... In Drags, [Gregory]Kramer called upon New York's drag community to come and pose in front of his camera.--Dazed Offering a rare insight into how the flamboyantly-dressed performers behind the wigs, heels and make-up really feel on stage, Gregory Kramer's book also features essays from men and women who've been working New York's hard-to-please crowds for decades.--Daily Mail The result is Drags (KMW Studio), a sumptuous monograph with 80s black and white portraits that will leave you breathless as you take in the full glamour and glory of New York's finest.--Dazed & Confused Magazine Drag is like an act of magic, a way of casting spells. If a spell is meant to change the living world through the constitutive powers of language, then I think drag is meant to change it through fashion, gesture, and effect.--CNN Style Each photo brings out the spirit of the performer through subtle pose, gesture and facial expression.--Reviews by Amos Lassen
