GLAMOUROUS AND OLD-SCHOOL FOR ME... I'M AN EARTHY, FUNKY KINDA G GAL....

I THINK MAYBE THIS... A MORE NEW WAVE-Y, STREET WISE KIND OF STYLE...

THE KIND THAT CAN EASILY BE AQUIRRED AT ANY NUMBER OF VINTAGE WEAR SHOPS..

..OR MAYBE SOMETHING KINDA GOOFY AND SILLY... LIKE MY FRIEND RUSS DID THAT ONE TIME...S

...I COULD ADD A TINGE OF GROOVY 60's RETRO STYLE INTO THE MIX AS

WELL!

.

WHY DON'T YOU

STOP (STOP)

9 AND LOOK

ME OVER

♫

So WHAT ARE MY MOTIVES BEHIND

THIS DRESSING UP"

IT IS THE

"IT'S NOT JUST PUTTING TRENDY THING ON MAKE-UP AND A TO DO THESE DAYS....

DRESS" WHO SAID THAT?

-

WE HOMOSEXUALS HAVE ALWAYS PLAYED WITH GENDER-ROLES AND STEREOTYPES!

No, I DON'T THINK IT'S INSULTING TO WOMEN... NOT,

IF YOU REALLY

CANT COMPETE WITH THIS PILLOW TALK OF MINE......

JUST CALL ME "SYLVIA"="

ACTUALLY, I THINK THE REAL QUESTION HERE IS WHETHER DRAG IS RIGHT FOR ME....

I'VE NEVER REALLY LIKED BEING THE CENTER OF ATTENTION....

BUT IS IT WRONG TO WANT A LITTLE GLAMOUR IN ONE'S LIFE? TO FUCK WITH SOCIETAL NORMS A BIT?

SO WHY DON'T

I JUST GO AHEAD AND DO THE

DRAG THING ALREADY?

BECAUSE YOU'LL NEVER JUST

DO IT AND THEN SHUT UP

ABOUT IT, THAT'S WHY!

P

FEEL

IT!

NOT REALLY

ME...

CAT EYE GLASSES

POLKA POTS

OH

Russ

•IT'S

GREAT

WHITE

GLOVES

THE GO-GO

BOOTS ALONE WOULD BE WORTH IT!

A LITTLE DUSTY

SPRINGFIELD IN THE BACKGROUND AND I'D BE SET! (LOOK ME OVER) AME THE SAME GIRL

OH YEAH THAT'S WHY

OH WELL-BACK TO "NORMAL"!
