Boyd, Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, 2009 by David Armstrong

“I think people would generally think [this] was set-up, but it’s not. It was story of Rodarte for Luis Venegas’s Candy magazine, but [Luis] had given me three months to do it, and they just sent over a bunch of dresses and I did it that way. Boyd was living here then and [I said] ‘Just try on one of these dresses,’ but he wasn’t really into the idea at first. Well, he said, ‘Just give me a Klonopin and I’ll do anything.’ 

So he took it and he started modeling a bit in the bed back there [in the room] and then he just literally passed out, but he said, ‘I should pull my pants down and put these panties on instead,’ before he did. I said, ‘Great,’ and I think I took two 8GB chips of this. He didn’t wake up for 24 hours, and those dresses, I don’t think you’ve tried them on, but putting them on takes three hours. I kept thinking he was going to rip through the holes, and [there was just] one sample.
