Alex Remington turns his photographic eye onto drag queens in his new Carapace of the Divas. Comparing the facades found in ordinary life to the fabulous facades of drag queens, Remington captures glamazons hard at work to both humorous and stunning effect. We just hope none of them broke a nail.
DEETS: Uptown Vision, 2504 Cedar Springs Road. 6 p.m. AlexRemington.com.
