MediaTakeOut, the ruling website for down-and-dirty African-American gossip, considers any kind of gender-bending to be a scandal, even when it’s obviously in jest.

Latest example is hunky Oklahoma college football player Kenny Stills as a “tranney.”

 

According to MediaTakeOut:

“He claims he was just “joking” around . . . but that SWEET-AS-BLUEBERRY-PIE look on his face . .. says OTHERWISE!!!”

I could definitely relate to today’s New York’s Times article about Hasidic Jews having to cope with summer heat while wearing uncomfortable garb.

Hot looks for summer!

According to the article: “Hasidic men wear dark three-piece suits crowned by black hats made of rabbit fur, and Hasidic women outfit themselves in long-sleeved blouses and nearly ankle-length skirts.”

As a drag queen, my appearance is a little more, uh, slutty—but I’m still stuck wearing tight undergarments, pantyhose, wigs and thickly applied makeup.  Just like the Hasids, I shvitz!

Hasids dress the way they do to honor God (whatever that means), I do it because I’m a masochist!  We’re all meshugeh!

 

It was the question on everyone’s lips at the EXHIBIT A Gay Pride party: What’s the story behind the fabulous performance troupe called Dollhaus?

Well, let me explain.

Dollhaus, is the creation of my friend Natasha, who recruited some of her most flamboyant friends to appear with her on stage.

 

Natasha (who also in drag sometimes is known as Madison).

 

In “real life,” Natasha is known as Andrew Yang, who designs a high-fashion line of dolls, the Kouklitas, which are sold at Barney’s department stores.

 

 

Andrew likes manipulating dolls in his showroom.  Natasha likes manipulating dolls on stage!

 

Sacrifice of a virgin!
