Yeah I found it funny that 1/2 my drag numbers I wanted to strip down and ussually genderfuck during the number.
My fav song to do that was "I am what I am" from male to female as I would start in a suit, top hat, and goatee to the La Cage Aux Folles version like I did on this practice session I taped for the GLCC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xn10wXqz29E and by the time Pride came around I had added the part where I wiped of the Goatee took off the hat, jacket ect and got into some hot shiney stripperish butterfly top and busted out with to Gloria Gayner's version.
i also went from girl to boy being undressed by my costar who I undressed from male to female during my "androgyny"(song by Garbage) routine..So that was alot of sexy fun on stage.
I also did the stripdown thing to I want yr sexy were I was a stripper cop(with an elephant g-string) arresting/ and stripping down a positute --how I loved my days of doing drag.
I'm sure I'll go back to it after I'm sone focusing on spending my weekends banking cuz unfornately being a dragking doesn't pay nearly enough yet alone what I pull in as a dancer.
Anyhow I didn't feel guilty when I passed --I just felt either (that it was funny) or pissed that I was invisible as a women and treated soo differently then I knew I would have been treated if they knew I wasn't male. Anyhow I do get what you are saying about holding/using marketing female/feminity as to me it's all stage where truely the real me is I'm closer to my character as a dragking, but I see it as the ultimate act to go all girly and have them eat it up like that's me(even though I hate it when they find out I;m gay and start bashing butch women--as they believe I have to be a lipstack les and I'm way too pretty to be butch)whatever I just happen to be raised in a family that send me to modeling school and taught me 2 be a girlie girl--in exchange for getting me the GI Joes and videos I wanted and was allowed to play with at home sooo I learned early on how to doll up and pretend. How little do they know they are drooling over a butch lesbian they would probably mistake for a boy if they saw me walking down the streets.
So since I love talking drag and stripping and you are probably 1 of very few who has shared both experiences that I know of if you would like to ever exchange numbers please feel free to message me here or on my myspace link down on my sig. Cool takecare hope you do bring it 2 where they haven't seen it. Be4 my troupe here in SoFl there was lots of Queens, but we were it as far as kings went and it was cool being part of the 1st to make it happen for me as it's one of those things I will look back on and 4ever take pride in.
