Transsexual party promoter Sophia Lamar has saved eighteen years’ worth of tissues used to remove her makeup. Her favorites, below, have been mounted as a collage and installed at the gallery Asia Song Society, where a group show opened last Saturday.
"I absolutely wear makeup every day—I can’t leave my house without eyebrows! But no matter how drunk I am, I never go to bed with any on. I clean my face with tissues, then soap and water, then put on my Retin-A, moisturizer, and Embryolisse, from a pharmacy in Paris. Then I take my vitamins, my glass of water, and go to bed.” (NYM)
