Angela Gardner, my editrix, sent me a lead about a stage version of the film Priscilla Queen of the Desert, that came out back in 1994. It was a nice little Australian film about three drag queens who travel across the outback for some reason. . .well, it’s lost in the ’90s now. But it […]

Men in Foam, Lot’s of Foam: Thoughts on Black Comics in Drag
What’s the deal with black, comic actors dressing up like fat ladies? In the past decade there have been several films that feature their male stars padding up (way up!) and slipping into drag.

Legacies Aren’t What They Used To Be

A TG on TV, except online.
Well, I’ve gone and done it. I’ve gotten myself into yet another project.
Depression
In a recent copy of Reader’s Digest, I found an article on depression in men. It seems that men have a hard time expressing depression. Sadness isn’t macho, and so it comes out as anger, and sometimes violence.
