BRB trying to wrangle these pictures of Alan Cumming into some kind of classical reception project.
Alan Cumming in a lavender suit on a pedestal, surrounded by classicising statues. It is the cover of Entertainment Weekly. The headline is The Art of Alan and there is the tagline: The traitors host on bi visibility and f***ing gender norms Alan cumming in eye liner and a velvety purple suit with his hand on the bare chest of a marble male statue Alan cumming posing in his lavender suit on a podium in front of a Venus de milo style statue and with a classical bust of a woman. He has a pierrot’s pointed hat on.
