Miami Beach 1988-1995
Fashionistas and retirees, drag queens and bodybuilders, cheap cocaine, waiters and wanderers: this book is my tribute to the insane optimism of 90’s America. After two decades of drugs, corruption and violence this coastal city had come back to life and the party was just beginning!
