“Glamour is a sleazy business. It is the stuff of crusty wigs, dirty gems and paper tickets stained with sweat from the exhilaration of seeing your favorite rhinestone cowboy twangalang his hits onstage (and maybe show you his twangalang after?). True to the legacy of Westwood and McLaren, Derek McCormack’s toilet paper pearl necklaces, hangtag-fringed wig and excrement studded with semiprecious stones are at once disgusting and gorgeous to behold. Every word and page delighted and thrilled me.”

“The images are mesmerizing — this is a lot of shit!”
