Else Is in the Teaches of Peaches.
What Else Is in the Teaches of Peaches, a new book of photography,
attempts to capture more: Peaches onstage, backstage, in her
30-boob breastplate, on the crapper, on a cross, passed out,
convalescing, performing for Yoko Ono, curled up with family,
recording with Iggy Pop. It's a groupie's delight.
