God Save The King! Three cheers for King Charles III!

Tom said...

...Debra, thanks again for this neat stuff.

Mistress Maddie said...

They're just attacking to attacking. Drag much like the LGBT is not anything new... it's been around as long as us gay people have been around and even then technically straight men did drag because women couldn't be in public plays at one time. And the forefathers of the United States all wore wigs so there's that.

Mistress Maddie said...

And we got to have a nice hat tip and curtsy to Tara Hoot!!!

Bob said...

Godzilla in heels!!!
And that quote from Wanda is one of my favorites!
PS I may have stolen a couple ....

Jamie Ghione said...

Some good ones a usual. I really like the Looney Tunes and Barbie & Ken ones.

angela said...

Definitely concerning themselves with the wrong issues.
Drag queens are not affecting your democracy or freedom. It’s the opposite. Let the drag queens run the show. I’m sure they would do a better job of it.
And we would all look fabulous darlings

Boud said...

I dunno, men wearing dresses and fancy hats and getting in the pulpit to condemn drag, wha'?

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

OMG Godzilla!!!!
And I did not know that Drag Queens had been to Les Miz! Oh yes.
The No Kings march in Chicago was HUGE. I had not seen so many people march since I went to The Women's March...

XOXO

Liz Hinds said...

It's strange, isn't it? Women have been wearing men's clothes for what? Over a century, yet we still object to men wearing women's. Unless it's men in a kilt. Oh I do love a man in a kilt. Think you should do a post on them.

Moving with Mitchell said...

Great collection. Bless Wanda Sykes!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Liz Hinds -- Yes, the fight for women to be able to wear "male attire" like pants was hard-won and involved breaking both legal and social laws. But thanks to our forebears, I've essentially cross-dressed for most of my life without comment or incident.

Travel said...

Very much focussed on the wrong shit.

whkattk said...

These are all great but Wanda takes the prize!

Rade said...

Spot on!

Cleora Borealis said...

🤩🤣 The drag queens at "Les Miserables" know what the show is about and can sing every word of every song!! I sure hope the people near Trump were not too bothered by his snoring!! 😴

Jamie Meyers said...

Great collection, D! I would love to be a Drag King but I'm just not dapper enough. Like John Gray said, 'People don't think I'm gay, I'm too bloody scruffy!'
Still happy to be as Gay as Christmas!

Kathy G said...

"A hundred push ups" :-)

Tundra Bunny said...

No wonder Godzilla was so grumpy -- his feet hurt!

BootsandBraids said...

As Mama Ru puts it "We're all born naked. The rest is drag". Happy Pride my friend.

Leanna said...

I often wondered how Godzilla walked around in the ocean off the Japan islands. Now I know. It was in platform heels. And they were stylish ones too.

Polly said...

Brilliant!!

DB Stewart said...

Flip Wilson! Also Dame Edna! (It's missing Mrs. Doubtfire.) And Wanda Sykes' comment, lol.

Mike said...

Wanda has always been great.

roentare said...

Always getting new ideas and inspirations through your post

Kirk said...

Drag queens and drag kings are my heroes. Long may they reign!

Barbara said...

Loved the Push Up. Hahaha

Marie Smith said...

The Kennedy Center gathering was perfect!

Bea said...

Wanda Sykes ftw

Danielle said...

I like the bra one.

There was a TikTok of someone explaining no kings day to Trump. He then proceeded to actually complain about not being a king.

Janie Junebug said...

I always loved Bugs Bunny in drag, but when I was a kid I didn't know it was called drag and it never occurred to me that something was supposed to be wrong with it. Men in drag were on TV all the time. Why are people so offended by it now?

Love,
Janie

ArcticFox said...

get a bit of cloth.... cut it.... wrap it round yourself..... i mean, it seems pretty fundamental.... how did wrapping it this way or that way become defining or controversial? Function?

Elderberry-Rob said...

I love a bit of glam drag, my favourite, seen on The Ru Paul show is Sumtingwong. betty

Granny Annie said...

My favorite is we have been entertained by drag our whole lives...

Frank said...

Wanda Sykes cuts through the crap.

This N That said...

Loved the drag queens at the Kennedy Center. That was great!
