Myths and stories abound that speak to man's desire to bring life to inanimate matter. A Perfect Fake looks at the persistence of these myths in modern times and takes us into the world of men who have chosen to reject the reality of human sexual companionship in order to pursue emotional and physical bonds with a variety of erotic surrogates. This film examines the emerging market for hyper-realistic simulations of real women through computer-generated virtual pornography and erotica. A Perfect Fake also delves into the disturbing world of men who share their lives with life-sized female love dolls.

A Perfect Fake is a compelling study of how new technologies extend age-old human desires for gratification and control.

Without a doubt, Craig Russell was the last of the great old school female impersonators. He did all his own voices so his "ladies" as he himself called them were true impersonations. Outrageous! is a Russell tour de force. He essentially plays himself, in the guise of character Robin Turner, a frustrated hair dresser who dreams of stardom. Together with a platonic galpal, (Hollis McLaren) he sets out to make his dreams come true. Along the way we are treated to his full arsenal of impersonations - Judy Garland, Peggy Lee, Carol Channing, Bette Davis, Tallullah Bankhead, Marlene Dietrich, Bette Midler, Mae West (who he once lived with), and others. Screenplay is based on the autobiographical story, "Making It," from the collection "The Butterfly Ward" by Margaret Gibson, a woman who lived with Russell while struggling to come to terms with her mental illness
