28. "Too Long?" ... Since you could squeeze into that size 8 dress...
and those size 10 CFM pumps?

I don't know... just askin'.
That was just too vague of an
answer that I just couldn't let
it go by without finding out
for sure! :hi:

-- Allen <--- an UGLY drag queen.


UGLY! Seriously... worse than a cheap New Orleans hooker... who earned her money the HARD way.... a quarter at a time.

30. I've, sadly, never done drag....I doubt I'd make an attractive female
Edited on Sat Jun-19-04 02:05 AM by Rowdyboy
(what with the hare-lip, the three nostrils and the acid scars etc). I once helped my best friend do drag for Halloween, though, and a serious red-neck asked him to dance and tried to take him home. He did NOT reveal the "surprise" :evilgrin:


I do miss being out for drag shows though! They were such fun, and the drag queens I knew were such vicious, petty, semi-sane hags! I'd kill for any one of them right now!

10. DRAG QUEENS PISS ME OFF!!!!
they're so much more feminine than me - half the time they have smoother skin, nicer legs; they are experts at applying makeup - where do they get off? They make some of us hopeless "real women" look VERY bad. :o

24. Do You Mean 'Jan Crouch'?
She's been seen in the lounge earlier tonight.

But I was actually thinking more like the pink wig in the photo at the top of this thread. Or if pink's not your color, something in flourescent green perhaps? (It brings out your eyes.)

12. Susang and I went to one on our honeymoon...
Edited on Sat Jun-19-04 12:01 AM by mkuhl
All of our vacations tend to be unstructured "Hey, you wanna go there?" type events. Our honeymoon accidentally took us to Key West.

Of course we had no reservation, so we just pulled in to a place that looked interesting.

La Ti Da. C'mon, if you're going to Key West, and you see a hotel called La Ti Da, you have to stay there.

We pulled in, registered, and before he handed us our keys the desk clerk asked, "Do you like drag shows? 'Cause we've got a little show tonight..."

That night we went to an upstairs bar in the hotel to watch the "Ugliest Drag Queen in Key West" contest. It was one of the funiiest evenings of my life. The winner was well into her eighties.

Love drag queens. Love 'em.

27. La Te Da... BEEN THERE!!!!!!!! Loved It!!!!!!
From what I can recall... the web site brings back some memories... but they've done some improvements and remodeling and upgrades since then.

That contest you went too sounds like it was a HOOT!!!! Lotsa fun!

29. That's the place!
We had a room right off the pool. Loved the place, loved the drag show, loved Key West...

Truly one of the highlights of the honeymoon.

This is me for a friend's "theatrical makeup" exam photo shoot. You have to understand I'm very much a guy's guy...very swarthy...

But, damn, I make a hot chick!

17. 13!
As far as the tuck/flatten, your guess is as good as mine---the stylist did it. Whatever it was, it was built into the dress, which was a rental from somewhere. Whatever it was, I had a hard time getting out of bed the following two days!

14. "What a Dump!"
Does anyone here besides me remember Charles Pierce (about 30 years ago) mimicing Bette Davis?

Dahling, if you weren't there, it was simply fabulous!

video of his performaces. Very good performer, indeed!!! I've also seen a memorial website somewhere. I'll bet a google search would locate it quickly.

35. It has been WAY too long!
Wow, I do miss the monthly drag shows...

Our local cha-cha palace used to have monthly drag shows and they were always a hoot. We'd go whenever we could just because our local drag queens ran the gamut from beautiful to trash drag, and you NEVER knew for sure who all was gonna show up...

Skittles? I have got to tell you, that as a straight chick, I felt that same way with several of our local ladies--except for a just a couple. One was an Ethel Merman drag queen (funny as hell) and the other was a man I knew named Eugene who made a horrible looking woman--complete with an awful wig that looked like it came off the back end of a horse... I'd KILL to have the skin and looks some of those girls had!
