NOTHING MAKES ME FEEL MORE FEMinine than a good drag queen.
Seriously. You have to admire the drag queens' commitment to womanhood--the wigs, the eyelashes, the vava-voom. While biological women frump around in sweats and ponytails, drag queens wear full face and thoughtful getup to answer the door for the Italian Pie dude. Never mind the Adam's apple and 5 o'clock shadow--they're the real women.
This got me thinking about makeup. They say the magic kingdom is in Orlando. but the real wizardry takes place at the makeup counter.
