The subjects of London-based photographer Derek Ridgers present themselves as alternately sexy, dramatic, unabashed, assertive, confrontational and at times just plain weird. They are the superstars of a shameless "look at me" generation, from those places where the bad girls are the good ones, and beauty adopts many different faces. This book is a breath-taking photographic tour de force. From the intro: "You're in some banging, happening club with your mates, a few sherbets in, feeling pretty good about the look you're working, feeling cheeky... So you trot around until you find that slightly seedy little corner, with the vanishing point corridor and the Fire Escape, where you'll find Him -- the man who is going to take your picture." Erotic, and a lot of partial nudity, but not much full nudity. Good-sized, hardcover, b&w.
