Girlfriend, a book of photographs of drag queens was published by Random House in 1999- "seventy-nine impeccable photographs by Michael James O'Brien in color and in black-and-white, evoking by turns Avedon's elegance, Annie Leibovitz's puckishness, and Brassai's access to the private moment." (The New Yorker, 14 June 1999).
