Life can be a drag

Patti Labelle was the first entertainer that brought the term drag to the hetrosexual community, but before RuPaul there was Sylvester. Sylvester's appearance mimicked that of Patti Labelle before her extreme makeover. In the films Jawanna Mann and Boat Trip we get to see men transform into something to gain the attention and affections of someone else. It's nothing new for men to dress as women. It started with Shakespeare, well with the English actually. Women weren't allowed to act and some men had to play the roles of the women characters. The first actors I ever saw in drag I believe were Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis in the comedy Some Like it Hot with sex goddess, Marilyn Monroe. The next memorable performance was that of Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie. Now there is Jawanna Mann and Boat Trip. Almost every actor in Hollywood has dawned drag at some point. Eddie Murphy. Chris Rock, Arsenio Hall, Kurt Russell, Jim Carrey, and Philip Wilson, who brought us the famous Geraldine. Both Jawanna Mann and Boat Trip have some funny moments. If you get a chance, check them out. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
