Like Vivian Maier except with a lot of friends who tucked, Linda Simpson was a chick with a camera in the right places at the right times — and in possession of the right eyes.

Her talents are on display, and I don't mean via wardrobe malfunction, in her new book The Drag Explosion, which gathers her many endearing and enduring images. I've seen her work, and she really was present at the moment when drag was underground one day and mainstream the next, chronicling that transformation one click at a time.
