At first, some of her subjects perceived her as a threat but as they grew closer, stereotypes about each other quickly melted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt I was in a kind of temple \u2026 in that place, everyone was the same. Everybody was just enjoying being who they are,\u201d she tells the New York Times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Her images show the dressing room as a place of transformation. In these moments, the drag queens leave behind the hardships surrounding immigration, religion, and orientation, and turn themselves into the prettiest and most sparkly butterflies around. Their performance is a way to lighten the load \u2013 a poignant embrace of the danger of being, of finding beauty in the edge.<\/p>\n

This is another much-needed reminder that stereotypes depend on ignorance. Get to know somebody and down the biases fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
