...details. Think of the old dispute in Northumbria over the correct date of Easter: Starting in the year 627, as the Venerable Bede records, the Celtic and Roman traditions provided two different dates for Easter, and the Northumbrians were left to celebrate Easter twice a year. The queen fasted on a different day than the king; all was chaos and confusion.

She dresses up to look like a debonair of the late '40s, reversing the concept of drag queen to drag king. A portrait of a doll leg by David Levinthal, who takes large-format Polaroids of collectable fetish dolls, is included. A similar interest in surrogate female forms is found in Chris Komater's piece "Turner" (a reference to the film star Lana Turner), an assemblage of 24 photos...
