Now I have seen some very good drag shows, and the "professionals" were very good, although I was more distracted trying to figure out where they tucked everything out of sight so well that they could wear spandex.<br /><br />Drag shows that feature non-professionals will often have people who would never be performing on stage otherwise. Looking good in drag, alas, does not guarantee an entertaining performance, because it doesn't necessarily mean the drag queen can sing or dance.<br /><br />The worst part, I realized, was that the performers were using club versions of songs that went on even longer than the original song. <br /><br />On a positive note, though, no shoes were being used as missiles.kayo56https://www.blogger.com/profile/06465209846180281823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239771833657791594.post-72740578182940366212010-05-13T18:55:53.918-05:002010-05-13T18:55:53.918-05:00Justin, my understanding (which is also not expert...Justin, my understanding (which is also not expert) has always been that the drag queen is a she when in costume.

Is "her/she" the proper pronoun for someone in drag? What if it's, I mean it's technically possible it's a straight guy in drag,..is it still she? Or is it only she when "she" is on stage?
