DRAG SHOWS

[sally]

Do you equate showgirls in Vegas with sexuality, if not then why do you have to be 18 to attend the show? Should they host Vegas showgirl time for the kiddies at the library now too?

[Duchess]

Vegas showgirls are considered adult entertainment. Drag is entertainment, it's over the top, everyone knows it's a dude in a dress. I don't understand why you would view them as being the same thing.

Probably because the venue serves alcohol.

That doesn't mean that drag culture has nothing to due with sexuality, obviously it does. The question is whether or not it's *explicitly* sexual, but I don't think that makes a bit of difference re children, or that it justifies their systematic exposure to abnormal gender identification.

BTW, I'm not using the term abnormal as a pejorative. It's a technically accurate description.

Uhhh . . . 'scuse me preachy-princess!  Someone is guilty telling Trump tales!  Shame, shame, shame on you!

According to the National Center of Gender Equality:  " While some drag queens live their lives as men outside of their drag personae, people of any gender can be drag queens.  Drag is just a form of self expression."

I won't snitch on you to Elon . . . this time!

[Duchess]

people of any gender can be drag queens.  

I did not know that. 

I think I might be able to pull off a drag king. I'd have fun tryin'!

[rothschild]

Kids get more than enough exposure to gender weirdness with Biden's appointees.

Please don't.  It's a silly and selfish request.

I'm terrified that if you pulled-off the Drag King look, I might become very, very, physically attracted to you.

Then my mind will be filled with more scissoring than one would experience at a National Scrapbooking Convention.

Seeing you as a woman . . . keeps those forbidden and passionate thoughts in check and at bay.

Unless, of course . . . if we somehow found ourselves in a semi-naked pillow fight with Mirah . . . then all bets are off.

I don't know, maybe because the drag shows I have been to involved scantily clad men pretending to be women and acting sexually provocative. Maybe not all drag shows are that way, however. Maybe some drag shows are just good clean fun for the whole family.

I've never seen one like that. I've only seen the comedic kind, for lack of a better term, they were just so over the top and hilarious. Everything about them was exaggerated, the hair, the makeup, the clothes, trying to walk in heels. It was all ridiculous humor.

[rothschild]

What people perceive it to be is secondary to it's being promoted to children. Why should anyone other than a parent decide what a child is or isn't exposed to?

[Duchess]

 Why should anyone other than a parent decide what a child is or isn't exposed to?

Precisely.

Precisely. 

Unfortunately . . . school boards and teachers (and their unions) beg to differ.

As does our DOJ.

Parents and their input, concerns or questions are persona non grata, at school board meetings.

I got lost at naked pillow fight and Duchess dressed as the King. Yes. YAS QUEEN!

I've always wanted to dress in drag but see if people think I'm a guy or a gal. I'll talk in a really deep voice. But now I think it would be an offensive thing to do. Would it?

ALSO-the guy who trained me says he likes to wear heels on April fools day as a joke, he also says that he likes to listen to Elton John, but he deosn't agree with that "Gay stuff" he says and hopes no one thinks he is gay. WTF

[rothschild]

"Gay stuff" is pretty gay, Mirah.

[Duchess]

I've spent a stupid amount of time looking for a sexy king costume. 

[MirahM]

Wait are we taking Elivs Presley King of rock and roll? Or like king and queen. Now I don't really want to google "sexy king" to find out.

[Duchess]

NoNoNo, not Elvis.

Check out the size of my...sword.

I like her eye makeup and hair, that's right up my alley. I was thinking about doing my hair the same color since my once natural dark brown hair keeps getting lighter and turning a shade of ugly blonde.

[MirahM]

Well that was really sexy
