The Liza Minelli of Drag Kings

that

So, I just saw Sharleen Spiteri of Texas as Elvis in the video for 'Inner Smile', and I finally understand why the lesbians like her. As some of you may know, Elvis is the most popular drag king personality (that is, already extant drag king personality - there are plenty of drag kings who invent their own personas, obviously). Anyway, I was wondering - pretend you're going to get dragged up for the evening - who would you be? You can be anyone you like, male, female or other (whatever your own gender). Or you can invent your very own brand spanking new persona.

I'm currently leaning towards Oscar Wilde, as the flamboyant manner and the great clothes really do it for me, and I love him anyway.

Wonka is the embodyment of all evil.

Mention him not.

I shall be "Celebrity Kincaid"! Porn Star, Spy, Transexual Midget, Author and Style Guru to the stars!

Tremble at my rendition of "Somewhere over the rainbow", sung to the tune of "Firestarter". In swedish.

If I ever had my own drag king act, I'd just soooo be a totally cliched AD&D elf. With songs. Many songs. In fact, I actually have to go and write the songs for my Elven Drag King act now.

Oh, come on-- tell me this doesn't just have to happen.

I would be George Banks from Mary Poppins because he has a good moustache and a bowler hat and he works at a bank and no one would guess who I was.

Mordant: surely you couldn't just get a group of drag kings together and calling yourselves Elvendrag? You know, just to piss off this lot?

I'd want to be Ursula from the Little Mermaid. The animatronic tentacle dress would soo rock.

You're all missing the perfect character, though. Joel Grey's Emcee in Cabaret. Oho yes.
