I've never seen a drag act before, but I'm determined to do it on my next holiday.

All singing, all dancing, all glam. Fabulous darlings!

Do you rate drag as a decent form of cabaret (as far as cabaret goes) or does it make you uncomfortable?

Kiki & Herb to thread!

Hmm, I'm surprised nobody has some story or other to recount, I was actually hoping an ILX drag queen would reply....

I can't imagine anyone replying "dud" to this, Rumpie. Maybe a search and destroy would work better.

I bought a Kiki and Herb CD, and Kiki's voice just scares me sometimes.

Shit yes, Kiki is horrifying, you just have to be there.

On second thought, I take that back: you have to HAVE BEEN there. Kiki & Herb are occasionally bewildering/a little flat but their genius is in RETROSPECT. Because the good stuff is SO good and so particular to their style of delivery, you know no one else could do it so you live with the flat moments in order to relive the star-spangled genius later.

I saw a horrifying drag act in Dayton. Imagine all of your male gym teachers in drag and you will begin to scratch the surface of the horror.

One gets used to the sting of duct tape.

Milton Berle to thread!

You can go to drag queen bingo in Tooting on Monday nights.

ten years pass...

i saw the Cockettes' 1971 half-hour film Tricia's Wedding last night... great Mamie Eisenhower performance. (Among the men playing men, Mick Jagger and Dick Nixon make out and get to handjobbin' in the concluding LSD orgy.)
