Double Take
by Devon Cass

Reviewed by Blase DiStefano



Wanna look like Liza, Liz, or Cher (not necessarily like the most recent versions of these icons), but you just don't know enough about makeup, wigs, etc. to pull it off? Double Take will help you impersonate many celebrities, including a few you might not have thought would lend themselves to such mimicry: Whoopi, Robert De Niro, Roseanne, Eddie Murphy, Gloria Estefan, among others. Author Devon Cass, who makes a great Cher, takes you STEP-BY-STEP . . . WITH PHOTOS!

Both sexes are transformed into other women; however, nary a woman appears as a man (check out Tracey Takes On for that phenomenon). Each of the imitators is interviewed, including Houston's own singer/illusionist Mark Payne, who has the honor of being alluringly altered into RuPaul AND Liza Minnelli!
