42 pp. 26,5x19 cm. Gravures de Dim. Galanis. Editions d'Art de Cusenier, Paris, 1925. Édition numérotée, No. 3058 (tirage inconnu). --- "Dans une plaquette de grand luxe, intitulée "Le Musée de la Double Soif" et éditée par Cusenier à la gloire de ses vieilles liqueurs, le maître Edmond Haraucourt a magnifiquement écrit l'Histoire du Vase et de la Coupe: amphores des Anciens, vaisseaux somptueux de la Renaissance, symboliques enveloppes que les artistes de tous les temps ont créées avec amour, autant pour satisfaire leur soif d'idéal que pour contenir les breuvages les plus nobles. Cette grande tradition d'art, trop abandonnée, réapparaît aujourd'hui sous l'impulsion de Cusenier qui a demandé à nos plus grands artistes du Verre et de la Céramique des oeuvres dignes de loger ses grandes liqueurs: les maîtres Lalique, Lachenal, Herbst collaborent déjà à cette renaissance".

In Lettin It All Hang Out, part autobiography, part how-to manual, superstar RuPaul comes out and comes clean with the full story of his remarkable rise and rise. Born to a mother who was a "hot firecracker of a woman," RuPaul Andre Charles talks about her powerful influence and of his life growing up in a house full of women. He tells the story of his difficult but loving childhood, his early awareness of "being different," and takes us on a wild ride highlighting his various drag personae over the years in Atlanta, New York City, and eventually all over the world.RuPaul also reveals his secrets as the apotheosis of the nineties' glamour girl: how to work a wig, how to get sparkling white teeth, how to work the camera and how to get the camera to work for you, the essential items every drag queen must have in her purse, and how to achieve the fiercest tuck this side of the Mason-Dixon line. RuPaul also lets us behind his persona to show his fans that there is more to him than the paint and the…
