Summary
A lot has happened since Charlie Chaplin girled it up in the early days of film, a queer revolution took place, Herman Munster became a drag queen for a day, RuPaul became “Supermodel to the World” and it seems just about everyone these days is a drag queen.
Today comedian Frank DeCaro joins us to talk about his new book “Drag: Combing Through the Big Wigs of Show Business” which takes a look at the biggest names in drag, from long gone queens of yore who sold out Broadway theaters to interviews with contemporary cross dressing legends like Lady Bunny and Coco Peru.
Listen as we chat with Frank about some of the forgotten queens from yesteryear and how the divas stack up against their famous impersonators.
Available anywhere fine books are sold. (giggles) Tink!
