Allan Amato’s Crossdressing Party Portraits


Issue 01 contributor/photographer Taslimur and Ash

Last Thursday, Coilhouse staff photographer Allan Amato threw a crossdressing party at his studio/loft. For various reasons we ourselves couldn’t make it, and now that we’re seeing the party photos from that night, we’re twice as sad that we weren’t there. To me, these spontaneous, messy party photos are just as powerful as Allan’s most pristine, carefully-composed fashion masterpieces. This series, intended to be only a private gallery for the party attendees until I begged him to let me post it here, is honestly one of my favorite things that Allan’s ever done.

Click after the cut for lots and lots more photos. I identified people where I could, but wasn’t sure of everyone’s name. If you were there, identify yourself in the comments!

    Oh man, I can’t believe I didn’t recognize Alyssa!

    Thanks for ID’ing people, Alexandra. Good job on your outfit, btw – overall I think the boys tried harder with the crossdressing than the girls here, but you were the outstanding exception. Love the thick eyebrows. Kudos.

    Igh, I am lusting after that Skingraft skirt. Damn living in the UK. Some absolutely fantastic photos there, especially the last one.

  19. Alexandra Mathews Says:

    Nadya,

    No worries =) Billy was kind enough to let me borrow his three-piece suit and in exchange I lent him my dilapidated red wig.

    Thank you for the compliments, you are too kind.
