A Tale of Two Covers

Later this month, my friend and regular (212) contributor Frank Anthony Polito is going to be offering a weekly recap of the new season of "Project Runway." (His home viewing parties out in Brooklyn are said to be a hoot, but some of us works nights.) Until then, I thought you'd get a kick out of his post about the behind-the-scenes making of his two book covers, for "Band Fags" and "Drama Queers." Like most things in life, creative works never turn out exactly how you planned. So you can only imagine the anxiety that goes into the final "look" of something you've put your heart and soul into, often for years before the unveiling. (Read Frank's post HERE.)

I love this guy. But for the decade, I lived the life: band geek, drama dork, closeted gay boy (I just did it in the early 90s).
