00:00:00Music
00:00:16Is that beautiful?
00:00:18Does that come in plus sizes?
00:00:21Woohoo!
00:00:22Oh, oh!
00:00:23Oh!
00:00:24Oh!
00:00:25Oh!
00:00:26It's so weird.
00:00:27Me.
00:00:28What I like.
00:00:28He's the only one that has any sex.
00:00:31Where's the godiva chop, ooh.
00:00:34Oh!
00:00:34Oh, great.
00:00:35My boss is putting in.
00:00:36Oh, Jonaphane.
00:00:37It looks like Bond.
00:00:38I'm so dumb.
00:00:39I guess that's you.
00:00:40I love you.
00:00:43And then, how are you?
00:00:45Have you been good this year?
00:00:46What are you doing?
00:00:47Darling, you're not here.
00:00:49It's just one of those peek-a-boo Santa outfits.
00:00:52Yes, can we see what's underneath?
00:00:53Hey, you're a sexy Santa!
00:00:56I've been very naughty and my name is misunderstood.
00:00:59Darling, I've been really nice.
00:01:01And I'm Gemgender!
00:01:04I'm Mythology Merman, I'm bad.
00:01:07I'm Shaqueen and it's all good, baby.
00:01:11Well, I'm Candace Cain and I'm sweet as sugar honey.
00:01:18So, what do you want from Santa this year, sir?
00:01:21Well, that's what I'm looking at!
00:01:26Oh, baby, and a bow and a mat.
00:01:38Yeah, it's huge, it's like a couple of a war.
00:01:41Hey, go tighter!
00:01:43Tighter!
00:01:46Oh, right there!
00:01:47Can't breathe, right there.
00:01:49Oh, this obsession with shoes.
00:01:51Ha, ha, ha!
00:01:53Beautiful lady
00:01:56Little fine lady
00:01:59I would dance upon a string
00:02:01And if she wanna bring
00:02:03I would give her anything
00:02:05If she would just do what I say
00:02:09Drag for me is theatricality.
00:02:12It's a way for me to create my own drama.
00:02:15It's a great way to disguise, too, to be two totally different people.
00:02:19And I am a Gemini, so, you know.
00:02:23Hello, Mr. Bush.
00:02:24I love you, Nick.
00:02:26Well, it's interesting that the very clothes that imprison women liberate men.
00:02:31Hello, Mr. Bush.
00:02:32I love you, Nick.
00:02:34They think we're so demure and shy
00:02:36And as soon as we get into drag
00:02:38It's gonna be turning into Gila monsters.
00:02:40Godzilla and Rodan.
00:02:41That light! Move that light!
00:02:44Welcome to your nightmare, old bitch dream!
00:02:49If drag isn't controversial
00:02:52If it doesn't push people's buttons
00:02:55How interesting could it be?
00:02:57This is no dream!
00:02:58This is really happening!
00:03:05And, you know, our founding fathers of this country wore wigs
00:03:09So I do feel that we're carrying on a very rich
00:03:13All-American tradition
00:03:34I think we better go in that way
00:03:37I'm getting anxious
00:03:38I need to shove them up
00:03:39Hi! Merry Christmas!
00:03:40Happy Holidays!
00:03:41Hey! Merry Christmas!
00:03:42Oh!
00:03:44Oh!
00:03:45Oh!
00:03:45Oh!
00:03:46Oh!
00:03:46Oh!
00:03:46Oh!
00:03:46Oh!
00:03:46Oh!
00:03:47Where's the Hanukkah window?
00:03:52I love this
00:03:53Wait, I want you to have this
00:03:56Merry Christmas
00:03:57From Jem Jenga
00:04:00Alright!
00:04:01Enjoy it!
00:04:03There's so many different types of drag
00:04:05There is bright colorful drag
00:04:07Which I call Ringling Brothers drag
00:04:10Where it's just amazing
00:04:11With the colors
00:04:12And the neon
00:04:13And the big blue
00:04:14Orange yellow hair
00:04:15There's also the realism drag
00:04:17Where the girls look absolutely exquisite
00:04:20And then there's more of the theatrical kind of drag
00:04:24Which is me
00:04:26What do you want from Christmas?
00:04:28I like to let everybody know
00:04:30Yes I am a man
00:04:31And I just have a big old piece of synthetic hair on my head
00:04:34And a lot of makeup
00:04:35And let's have some fun
00:04:42This thing is huge
00:04:49Who is Jem Jender?
00:04:51Jem Jender is my character in drag
00:04:54A performer
00:04:55A ballet dancer
00:04:57I hope someone's got my pointe shoes ready
00:05:00She's a working girl
00:05:02With a good heart
00:05:03And a Christian
00:05:08When I was very young
00:05:10I discovered a pair of pointe shoes
00:05:11That were my mother's
00:05:12And I grabbed these pointe shoes
00:05:14And just said
00:05:14Ooh!
00:05:15This excited me
00:05:16I am on my toes
00:05:17And feeling beautiful
00:05:18And I mean
00:05:19This isn't the average thing
00:05:21A 7 and 8 year old guy does
00:05:23In Plasto, New Hampshire
00:05:26And then back
00:05:30Another cross
00:05:31Tonight
00:05:32I'm performing
00:05:33The Dying Swan
00:05:34Which I've been doing
00:05:36For years
00:05:37I think I'm going to hear that music
00:05:39When I go to the grave
00:05:41And it's fun
00:05:42I get to shed some feathers
00:05:44And molt
00:05:45And
00:05:45The gang of green comes in
00:05:48And
00:05:48It's a lot of fun
00:05:50I have a good time doing it
00:05:51And the audience really enjoys it
00:05:53You know, you're very nice
00:06:23You know, you're very nice
00:06:23You know, that's a pretty good time
00:06:23You know, you're loving it
00:06:23You know, you're loving it
00:06:51MUSIC CONTINUES
00:06:53I did start out just wanting to be a male dancer and did dance male roles.
00:07:00Unfortunately, the way my body is built, you know, I'm not Rambo or Sylvester Stallone,
00:07:04so I'm like, what am I killing myself here, pumping weights and trying to put on weight,
00:07:09when what I really want to do is put on a tutu and have some handsome man lift me into
00:07:13the air and just live my fantasy.

00:08:46Oh, Jesus Christ, I'll have my...
00:08:49Ow, my hair!
00:08:50I'll have my chiropractor call you.
00:08:52Well, I'm Varla Jean Merman,
00:08:54the illegitimate daughter of Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine.
00:08:57Stop bitching.
00:08:58I have to go way back and go on.
00:09:00I like Ethel Merman just because she was big and brassy
00:09:03and a little bit masculine.
00:09:06And then Ernest Borgnine just because they actually had dated for a while
00:09:10and they were married actually for 38 days.
00:09:12And I kind of look like the product of those two people.
00:09:17Thanks.
00:09:19Oh, cool.
00:09:20This one, maybe this one would be good.
00:09:23Oh, great.
00:09:24I don't know.
00:09:24Oh, girl, what do you think?
00:09:26I like your new hairstyle, the Vodla.
00:09:28I mean, this new one is fierce,
00:09:29but maybe we can do something like this,
00:09:30like bring it up a little bit.
00:09:31I wonder if she's going to look like a Barbizon model.
00:09:33Put some green in it.
00:09:35You can be a model, too.
00:09:38You know what's really great about,
00:09:39like, if you come here and they'll give you a makeover,
00:09:41they'll do your hair, and they'll even tuck for you.
00:09:43It's like I got a big tuck.
00:09:44It's like the dress comes up inside, you know.
00:09:47Oh!
00:09:48Hey, that's not good.
00:09:49That's our combination.
00:09:51The video will demonstrate on me.
00:09:53I want eyes.
00:09:55These are my testicles.
00:09:57These are my testicles.
00:09:58I can foist them up.
00:09:59They're high up.
00:10:00You know what I'm saying?
00:10:01I'm getting Phyllis Jill-arized.
00:10:02Yeah, a little more volume.
00:10:03If you either are a singing drag queen
00:10:05or you're a fabulous dancing drag queen
00:10:07or you're realness drag queen.
00:10:09And what are you?
00:10:10I'm not real.
00:10:13I'm more of the singing, dancing, humorous drag queen.
00:10:17I'm sure many of you have maybe noticed
00:10:19I have a lot of, um, talent.
00:10:26Nice, okay.
00:10:31Oh, that sun beating down on my red wig
00:10:35just causes a girl to get depressed.
00:10:42Funny how a lonely day
00:10:43Can make a lady say
00:10:47What good
00:10:48What good is my life?
00:10:53Funny how a breaking heart
00:10:54Can make a lady start to sing
00:10:57What good is my
00:11:00My miserable life
00:11:03It's funny how I often seem
00:11:05To live my life in a dream
00:11:08What good
00:11:09What good is my
00:11:10My life
00:11:13Until I look around and see
00:11:16This great big world is part of me
00:11:18And my
00:11:19My miserable life
00:11:25Oh, this
00:11:28Is my life
00:11:31Pray tomorrow's love
00:11:33Will come and find me
00:11:34For the greater love
00:11:37That I was born to be
00:11:39Hello
00:11:41This is me
00:11:42And I'm
00:11:43I'm Marla Jean
00:11:45Help me
00:11:46She loves my red dress
00:11:48Oh
00:11:49Most people don't know this
00:11:51But I went to West Point Millenary School
00:11:53Make heads, not war
00:11:55My parents lived in small cities all over Louisiana
00:11:58My father was an FBI agent
00:12:00And my mother was a psychic
00:12:01So I never got away with anything in high school
00:12:03Never and ever
00:12:13At first drag was only something to do
00:12:16When we were having a good time
00:12:18We were partying
00:12:19We were doing anything
00:12:20You know, we would put towels on my head
00:12:22And style it into hair
00:12:23And do these really insane things
00:12:27I first started doing drag with my friend Timothy
00:12:30We would do these videos
00:12:31And we would play them on all the video screens
00:12:33In the bars here in the city
00:12:58When I came to the city
00:12:59Drag was more of a way to express
00:13:01In singing
00:13:02Things that maybe a man wouldn't express
00:13:04You know, a lot of
00:13:06There aren't very many man-victim songs
00:13:08You know, or anything like that
00:13:10It's much more of a wider range of emotion
00:13:17Sometimes when I feel afraid
00:13:19And I think of what a mess I've made of my
00:13:23My miserable life
00:13:26Crying over my mistakes
00:13:28And forgetting all the breaks I've had in my
00:13:30My, my miserable life
00:13:40Oh, this, oh, this is my life
00:13:46Pray tomorrow
00:13:48Find me
00:13:49For the greater love that I was born to be
00:13:53Hello, Philadelphia
00:13:54This is me
00:13:55And I'm
00:13:57And I'm
00:13:57I'm born to be
00:13:58And this is my life
00:14:02And I don't give a damn
00:14:05Oh, I have to go
00:14:07I've got to give
00:14:10Hello
00:14:11Let me live
00:14:13Let me live
00:14:15And this is my life
00:14:20And this is my life
00:14:29Oh, this is my life
00:14:30Oh, this is my life
00:14:37My life
00:14:38My life
00:14:44My life
00:14:45My life
00:14:45Thank you
00:14:51Oh, darling
00:14:51Can we get our power for Shaquita?
00:14:54I asked for permission
00:14:56It's just capped right over the tits like that
00:14:58It's just a little snug in the breast area
00:15:00If you can pull it over those testes
00:15:02It'll stretch through the refrigerator
00:15:03It'll stretch
00:15:07It's very Christmassy
00:15:08Yeah, it's gorgeous
00:15:09Darling, it matches your eyeshadow
00:15:11You don't even have to change your makeup
00:15:13I'm going to go put it on right now
00:15:14You can wear it to lunch
00:15:15In a simple
00:15:16You all want these plaid pins

00:15:40And Margaret never knew
00:15:41One, two, three, three, five
00:15:43Woo, woo, woo, woo
00:15:48Once I met a nice old man
00:15:51Upon the village green
00:15:53I helped him cross the street
00:15:55Into his little scene
00:15:57Next day he sent
00:15:59The biggest brooch I've ever seen
00:16:02To show his appreciation
00:16:09Now wasn't that sweet?
00:16:18Well, strange how my fortune seems to grow and grow
00:16:22Yeah, mother, dear mother was right
00:16:28Daughter, there's no telling just how far you can go
00:16:32Just by being polite, right?
00:16:35Well, see, Candace, she's got the real girl look

00:16:39I think Candace is a babe

00:18:30Where's Varla?
00:18:31I know, well, we lost Miss Varla.
00:18:33God knows she eats the whole restaurant.
00:18:34They didn't have enough food in the restaurant.
00:18:36Actually, she is rehearsing for a major show.
00:18:39I know, the Carnegie Deli.
00:18:40I know, that bitch.
00:18:42Carnegie Deli, she's gonna be serving up sandwiches.
00:18:45Oh well, cheers lady, here's for the holidays.
00:18:48Happy Holidays.
00:18:49Happy Hanukkah, you misunderstood.
00:18:51Happy Hanukkah.
00:18:52I really did that.
00:18:53I was very attracted to that Santa Claus.
00:18:56I never met a Santa with such vitality in general.
00:18:58You know, I always thought Santa was the biggest drag queen.
00:19:00Santa is a drag queen.
00:19:01Sure.
00:19:02You know, makeup and hair and the costume.
00:19:05The costume is drag.
00:19:05Exactly, that's drag.
00:19:06What you put on your body is all drag.
00:19:07Exactly.
00:19:08I know some drag queens that look like Santa,
00:19:09and I won't say any names.
00:19:13What's your name?
00:19:15Dan.
00:19:16I want to be Mrs. Dan.
00:19:19I got something for you.
00:19:21I bet she does have something for you.
00:19:22It's underneath my dress.
00:19:24I'll show it to you.
00:19:25Enter at your own risk.
00:19:27Oh no.
00:19:28It's for you, it's your present, Dan.
00:19:31Did you guys love that?
00:19:34When I did drag the first time, in the beginning,
00:19:36I looked even weirder than this.
00:19:37Like, I didn't do, I never did normal drag.
00:19:39I used to shave my head and paint a blue and glue broken mirrors
00:19:42to the back of my head and wear a dress.
00:19:44I think, you know what it is?
00:19:44My father was a cake decorator, so it's in my jeans.
00:19:48You know, I don't see myself as being a woman.
00:19:51I see myself as being a fantasy creature.
00:19:54You know, to me, it's all about costume and color.
00:19:57Exactly.
00:19:57It's just about dressing up.
00:19:59That's all it is.
00:20:00A good drag queen is someone, really, who thinks from head to toe.
00:20:03There is no rule.
00:20:04It's different for everybody.
00:20:05But it takes time.
00:20:08There's a polish and unpolished.
00:20:09You have to work on it.
00:20:10Exactly.
00:20:11None of us looked like this when we first started out.
00:20:13Oh, I know, when we all started, dear God.
00:20:15Oh lord, burn those photos.
00:20:17I think that's what we do as drag queens.
00:20:19We create an excitement and we inspire people to, like, turn themselves out a little bit
00:20:25and be part of the magic.
00:20:26And if everybody could do a little bit of magic, this would be such a great place to be.
00:20:30That's why, like, you are glamorous.
00:20:31It's all about presentation.
00:20:33I think people see the visual and really appreciate it.
00:20:37So many women come up to me and say,
00:20:39oh, you're so beautiful, you're so beautiful.
00:20:41I'm like, darling, come on over.
00:20:43I'll paint you up, I'll lace you up, and you will be beautiful, too.
00:20:47Let me just pull up this side.
00:20:50Ugh.
00:20:51Inhale, son.
00:20:52Inhale.
00:20:52Hello.
00:20:53I've done had a baby, Randy.
00:20:54My parents are fantastic and are just such a strong support system for me, my whole family.
00:21:01I think that's good enough.
00:21:03Got a little skin showing.
00:21:05So, Mom, I appreciate you helping me out and sorry to...
00:21:07No problem.
00:21:08...do this to you on such short notice.
00:21:10And then I'll maybe get you into the action, too.
00:21:12You can...
00:21:12Wait, you want me to put my foot on your back?
00:21:13How long?
00:21:14Turn me into a size four.
00:21:15A size four.
00:21:17I'll take a size zero.
00:21:18Okay, here we go.
00:21:19He gets right to a point where it looks like he needs a little bit more to get him the
00:21:23big
00:21:23step up, you know?
00:21:25And it looks like he's really on the road now, after all these years of really working,
00:21:30because he spent hours and hours and hours of just dancing.
00:21:35It's quite a thing.
00:21:36I'm very proud.
00:21:38Very, very proud.
00:21:40Thank you, Mary.
00:21:42Thank you very much.
00:23:22You can pull all the stops out
00:23:25Till they call the cops out
00:23:27Grind your behind
00:23:29Till you're banned
00:23:30But you gotta get a gimmick
00:23:33If you want to get a hand
00:23:39So this is our wall of fame here at Lips
00:23:41We have everyone from Dame Edna Everidge
00:23:44Who is a talk show host in England
00:23:45To Bob Hope doing kind of a Copacabana number
00:23:50Complete with the fruit atop the head
00:23:52It's kind of wild
00:23:55And our restaurant
00:23:56We wanted it to be
00:23:58Sort of the
00:24:00The planet Hollywood
00:24:01Or the hard rock cafe of drag
00:24:03We have Marlena Dietrich
00:24:05One of the oldest crossdressers
00:24:07In Hollywood anyway
00:24:09And speaking of Hollywood
00:24:10We have Flip Wilson in drag
00:24:12From the movie Skatetown USA
00:24:15This is our birthday girl lip-syncher
00:24:17And also one of the stars of our show tonight
00:24:19And one of our very first inductees
00:24:22To the Lips Walk of Fame
00:24:29Hello darlings and welcome to the sidewalks of Lips
00:24:35I am honored and thrilled to have everyone here
00:24:39For the inauguration of the first ever Drag Queen Walk of Fame
00:24:43I am proud to introduce the girls and stars of this evening
00:24:49Charles Bush
00:24:54Miss Zingas
00:25:06Miss Lady Buddy
00:25:17Now girl, I know you haven't done this in a while
00:25:20But you have to get down on your knees
00:25:21Oh dear
00:25:23You show them dog
00:25:27On the count of three
00:25:29Three
00:25:30Two
00:25:31One
00:25:40I wanted to get in drag
00:25:42Because I was so desperate to be in show business
00:25:45And I thought getting in a dress
00:25:46Would be a way to get attention, you see
00:25:48And it has
00:25:49Plenty of attention
00:25:52Obviously I do drag
00:25:53Because it's something very personal
00:25:55And
00:25:57That's something
00:25:58Very deep
00:25:59That I don't want to know why
00:26:02But uh
00:26:03I think it's genetic
00:26:04It is
00:26:04I told you that the other day
00:26:05While wearing lashes
00:26:06But I think the desire to perform is genetic
00:26:08And the desire to be a drag performer
00:26:10Is genetic also
00:26:11An addiction to Maybelline mascara
00:26:13Yes
00:26:13And I think there's a gene for liking Judy Garland
00:26:15And a gene for liking Joan Crawford's gene
00:26:17And you've got both of them
00:26:18In spades
00:26:30I grew up
00:26:32Watching old movies
00:26:33On TV
00:26:33And I was just addicted to
00:26:35All the old Warner Brothers
00:26:36MGM films
00:26:37And I think you know
00:26:38By the time I was nine
00:26:39I could recite the entire filmography
00:26:41Of Ida Lupino
00:26:44This launched me
00:26:45A lifelong study
00:26:46Of fascinating ladies
00:26:48Like so many other people
00:26:49I worshipped Audrey Hepburn
00:26:51Audrey Hepburn
00:26:52So whimsical
00:26:53And yet full of pluck
00:26:55I was convinced
00:26:56I looked just like her
00:26:57A boy of 11
00:27:00I remember I'd say
00:27:01To my teacher at school
00:27:02I couldn't possibly
00:27:03Hunt in that book report today
00:27:04Because I find
00:27:06The call of the wild
00:27:07Too dreary for words
00:27:15When I got home
00:27:16I would pretend
00:27:17That my glass of milk
00:27:18Was straight gin
00:27:20I tried to swig it
00:27:21Like Susan Hayward
00:27:22In one of her great
00:27:22Alcoholic roles
00:27:33Now my big interest
00:27:34Back then
00:27:35Were two things
00:27:36I loved fairy tales
00:27:37And I loved 1940s
00:27:39Women's pictures
00:27:40Like Mildred Pierce
00:27:41But sometimes
00:27:42I would get the
00:27:43Women's pictures
00:27:44And the fairy tales
00:27:45Kind of jumbled up
00:27:47With very peculiar results
00:27:49Indeed
00:27:50Somehow I was so connected
00:27:52To that kind of style
00:27:53That I've always said
00:27:54That you know
00:27:54I don't want to be a woman
00:27:55I want to be an actress
00:27:58Yes officer
00:27:59I killed my stepdaughter
00:28:01And I'd do it again
00:28:03A thousand times
00:28:05She dropped a mink coat
00:28:06To the ground
00:28:07And stood there
00:28:08In her soiled bra
00:28:09And panties
00:28:09And garter belt
00:28:10Wrecking of sex
00:28:12Taunting me
00:28:13Mocking me
00:28:14Boasting of attending
00:28:15An orgy in the woods
00:28:15Of seven dwarves
00:28:17I drew myself up
00:28:18And finally uttered
00:28:20Those words
00:28:20I vowed
00:28:21I would never say
00:28:22Cinderella
00:28:23Get out
00:28:25My weirdness
00:28:25My weirdness
00:28:26Is that I love being
00:28:27The great lady
00:28:27Who actually came up
00:28:29From dirt
00:28:30You know
00:28:30And when it comes down
00:28:31To it
00:28:32Whether in one of my plays
00:28:33Whether she's fighting
00:28:34The Nazis
00:28:34When it comes down to it
00:28:36She uh
00:28:36You know
00:28:37She has her proletarian side
00:28:38And she'll get the best
00:28:39Of anyone
00:28:39I've just optioned
00:28:41A new book
00:28:42On an old subject
00:28:43It's a story
00:28:44Of Sappho
00:28:46I play Sappho
00:28:48A noble Greek woman
00:28:49Vibrant
00:28:50Passionate
00:28:51A sexual revolutionary
00:28:52And you my fair one
00:28:54You shall play her
00:28:55Lesbian lover
00:28:58Rusty
00:28:59Rusty
00:29:00Yes I can see the scene
00:29:02Sappho
00:29:02Slips her arm around
00:29:03I've always thought
00:29:04That the story
00:29:05Of how we did
00:29:06Vampire Lesbians
00:29:07Asadim
00:29:07Was kind of a cross
00:29:08Between 42nd street
00:29:09And Brigadoon
00:29:10And a miracle
00:29:13We put on this play
00:29:14For $36.12
00:29:16Just to put on a play
00:29:18To have fun
00:29:18And I wanted to be
00:29:19The leading lady
00:29:20So I wrote the part
00:29:22Of this glamorous
00:29:23Vampirist
00:29:28And I just cast
00:29:29Six of my best friends
00:29:31And we all had
00:29:31A hell of a time
00:29:32We had so much fun
00:29:33And it took off
00:29:34You
00:29:35You're a vampire
00:29:37I suppose you have
00:29:37A handkerchief
00:29:38She devil
00:29:39Fiend
00:29:40You killed my Renee
00:29:41Eh yeah
00:29:42She'll come too
00:29:42But let's say
00:29:43I've taken the bloom
00:29:44Off the beach
00:29:50I was raised by my aunt
00:29:51Who was a fascinating lady
00:29:52I think maybe somehow
00:29:54I got her mixed up
00:29:55With the movie actresses too
00:29:57And it became this
00:29:58Very indelible impression
00:29:59On me
00:30:00Maybe that's just pocket analysis
00:30:01But for some reason
00:30:03Playing a female character
00:30:04Is the best way
00:30:05To express myself
00:30:06Sheik
00:30:07Now for those of you
00:30:08Who have never seen me before
00:30:11I'm not a woman
00:30:12I merely play one on stage
00:30:14I have been called many things
00:30:17Among them
00:30:18Female impersonator
00:30:20But you should know
00:30:21That the politically correct term
00:30:23Nowadays
00:30:24For a female impersonator
00:30:25Is gender illusionist
00:30:29Gender illusionist
00:30:30Is too many
00:30:30Too many syllables
00:30:32And female impersonator
00:30:33Sounds so old fashioned
00:30:34And transvestite
00:30:35Sounds too clinical
00:30:36I prefer drag performer
00:30:38Drag star
00:30:39Drag star
00:30:40Drag artist

00:31:20Lip Sync Off is my rage at growing up in Hazel Hearts, Mississippi
00:31:25Where I was told, you know, don't be who you are
00:31:29Don't be a show off
00:31:31Don't be effeminate
00:31:36I remember when I was a little boy, the movie Gypsy came to town
00:31:40I got to see the movie
00:31:42And then when I got home
00:31:43I wanted to act like Natalie would
00:31:47And I was spanked for it
00:31:50I changed my way
00:31:52My way of living
00:31:54And that ain't enough
00:31:58Then watch the way I'm gonna
00:32:01Strut my pretty stuff
00:32:04Cause nobody
00:32:07Nobody wants you when you're old and gray
00:32:11On my first show in college
00:32:13I was in a show called Once Upon a Mattress
00:32:15And I played Sir Studley
00:32:18Casting against type, if you will
00:32:21And I got laughs
00:32:22And I was addicted
00:32:24And I love drumming my life
00:32:28Ain't another drumming my life
00:32:32Born into the national
00:32:33We seemed alive short
00:32:34And we were like
00:32:37When I found it
00:32:39And we acknowledged to that
00:32:41——I think people are often disappointed when they meet me after seeing Lip Sync off stage
00:32:48She's like this fire branch, this red-headed monster on stage.
00:32:53How could I possibly be? How could I be like that all the time and do what I have to
00:32:57do?
00:33:02I got the music in me. I got the music in me. I got the music in me.
00:33:09I got the music in me. I got the music in me.
00:33:13I'm not afraid of gender, and people who are so caught up in gender problems, they're the ones with the
00:33:20problems, not me.
00:33:22If you could just let go of that, if everyone could just let go of this male-female thing, everyone
00:33:28would be so much happier.
00:33:31I got some scrunchie, I'm just new. I got some funky music.
00:33:38Get down inside of me.
00:33:47I got the music in me. I got the music in me.
00:33:54I got the music in me.
00:34:15The fact that drag has become so mainstream, it sort of forces the true drag performer to be more experimental.
00:34:23It's not such a big deal. Oh, so he's up there wearing a dress, you know, you know, now you
00:34:28gotta like, what are you gonna do?
00:34:29Am I allowed to dance?
00:34:32I love the bunny, I love the bunny, I love the bunny, I love to see Miss Bunny swing.
00:34:38I love the bunny, she's like...
00:34:41Buddy, do you mind if Charles and I do our number first?
00:34:45Doody, doody, doody, doody,
00:34:51doody, doody, doody, doody.
00:34:55Why don't you join the group? It's better than being a party poop.
00:35:11John and Charles started doing drag knowing full well what kind of character they wanted to be.
00:35:18They knew exactly what they wanted to do in drag. I had no clue. I got my start as a
00:35:23go-go dancer
00:35:24for a band in Atlanta called The Now Explosion and you know just learned along the way.
00:35:33Do you know what one of my boobs said to the other boob? Hey we better stop hanging so low
00:35:40or they'll think we're nuts. You know I asked my mommy the other day why does daddy put his
00:35:50pee pee in your pussy? And she said that's how mommy gets babies. And I said well why
00:35:55does daddy put his pee pee in mommy's mouth? And she said that's how mommy gets jewelry.
00:36:04The drag queens that I grew up watching in the south took themselves very very seriously.
00:36:11It was the serious gowns and the serious lip syncing to a Melissa Manchester ballad and
00:36:17you know just taking this up very seriously. And I don't. I mean I'm you know silly and nutty.
00:36:22Hey you're on honey!
00:36:26Woo!
00:36:29Woo!
00:36:31Woo!
00:36:33I love it!
00:36:35Bunny is probably the funniest person I've ever met.
00:36:40And one of the smartest people I've ever met too.
00:36:41And her wild act is an act.
00:36:46Woo!
00:36:47Woo!
00:36:49Get it?
00:36:50Ladies and gentlemen, this is a little song that put the cunt back in country.
00:36:57My pussycat was playing out on the back porch.
00:37:01The sun was so hot that my pussy got scorched hot pussy.
00:37:06Woo!
00:37:07Woo!
00:37:07Woo!
00:37:08Woo!
00:37:09Woo!
00:37:09Woo!
00:37:11Just a friendly little cat.
00:37:14Friendly little cat.
00:37:16Then my pussycat was playing out on the back step.
00:37:20It started to rain and my pussy got all wet.
00:37:24Woo!
00:37:25Woo!
00:37:27Woo!
00:37:27Woo!
00:37:27Woo!
00:37:27Woo!
00:37:27Woo!
00:37:28Woo!
00:37:29It's the broken wet.
00:37:31Pussy.
00:37:32Just a friendly little cat.
00:37:35You'll never believe what happen' next.
00:37:38My neighbour stole my kitty, but I did see!
00:37:42I said to my neighbour, sat my pussy free free!
00:37:46Pussy.
00:37:48Hot.
00:37:50Wet.
00:37:52Sore.
00:37:54Pussy.
00:37:54I consider myself a highly refined lady of the theater.
00:37:59Has anybody out there seen my pussy?
00:38:02Is it out there somewhere?
00:38:04Woo! Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.
00:38:07You're kidding. You're kidding.
00:38:08You're kidding, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty.
00:38:11Meow.
00:38:18Now, let's sing it, darling.
00:38:20Now that you've finally realized the talkies are here to stay.
00:38:24Yes, I'm here, baby.
00:38:26Well, I would love to sing something with you.
00:38:29Toss something off?
00:38:31Maybe we could do one of those lovely songs that we sang in finishing school when we were at Miss
00:38:36Porter's.
00:38:36You mean the conservatory?
00:38:37Yes, yes.
00:38:40We love a piano, we love a piano.
00:38:43We love to hear somebody play.
00:38:46About a piano, a grand piano.
00:38:49It simply carries us away.
00:39:04Occasionally some women have trouble with drag because they think it's a misogynist.
00:39:09I've heard of women after my show puking into the toilet and in tears because they thought I was making
00:39:17fun of women.
00:39:18But why would I want to make fun of women when I spent my whole life studying them and fascinated
00:39:22by them?
00:39:23I thought I was lauding them.
00:39:24I didn't know I was making fun of anybody.
00:39:26And you're both giving me a P-I-A-N-O.
00:39:30I'd love to start right beside the right or a high-told.
00:39:35Let me get grand.
00:39:53Harvard students get ready for musical extravaganza, Westwood Hole, 1921 edition of the Harvard Hasty Pudding Show.
00:40:00Oh, lovely, isn't it?
00:40:03Girls take rest from rigors of rehearsal as Osgood Hooker of Harvard does a fandango worthy of a corine from
00:40:10the best of finishing schools.
00:40:13You'd never know he was all-American material if it weren't for the pipe.
00:40:18There's a long, long tradition of drag stemming back a thousand years.
00:40:28I guess probably the biggest star ever in drag was Julian Eltinge, and he was enormous.
00:40:33I mean, it's hard even to imagine the female impersonator who had his own Broadway theater named after him.
00:40:38He starred in silent films.
00:40:46Poor Julian Eltinge, though, felt so compelled to prove his manhood
00:40:51that there were all sorts of stories at well-publicized fistfights in the alley of his theater
00:40:58where some journalist would have made a disparaging remark, calling him, you know, a pink powder puff or something.
00:41:04And then he'd get a big fistfight and knock the guy out.
00:41:12I understand Julian was a very small man, made a beautiful woman.
00:41:17And there's the story that a young boy saw Julian in vaudeville and ran home and said to his mother,
00:41:25I don't want to be an explorer.
00:41:28I want to be a female impersonator.
00:41:31Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Charles Pierce.
00:41:38Your over-the-hill-valley girl is here.
00:41:43I always opened the show as a glamour gal.
00:41:47My theme song was Illusions.
00:41:50The Marlena Dietrich song.
00:41:52Want to buy some illusions
00:41:54Slightly used
00:41:57The second hand
00:41:59Such romantic illusions
00:42:02Reaching high
00:42:05Built on sand
00:42:07They have a touch
00:42:09Of paradise
00:42:11In 1954, I began as an impressionist.
00:42:17In other words, I worked in a tuxedo.
00:42:19The tuxedo bit went into black slacks and a black turtleneck sweater.
00:42:23And then one thing led to another
00:42:27And all of a sudden, there I was
00:42:29In full drag.
00:42:41Mae West.
00:42:42Oh, I've always said that
00:42:46Sex
00:42:48Is a misdemeanor.
00:42:50Yeah, the more you misdemeanor you get.
00:42:53Sex is like bridge.
00:42:55If you don't have a good partner
00:42:56You better have a good hand.
00:43:02They asked me the other day
00:43:03My definition of a perfect lover.
00:43:05A man who can make love to you
00:43:08Until four o'clock in the morning
00:43:10And then turn into a pizza.
00:43:14Charles Pierce is a great artist
00:43:17Who fought many of the battles
00:43:19That I reaped the benefits from.
00:43:24He came to New York finally in the 70s.
00:43:26It took him quite a while.
00:43:28And he became a great sensation.
00:43:36He does famous women like Bette Davis, Mae West.
00:43:40And at first I didn't quite get it
00:43:41When I went to see him
00:43:42I'd heard so much of this legendary performer
00:43:44Because he really doesn't imitate them very well.
00:43:48I'll never forget my films
00:43:50And I will never let you forget my films.
00:43:53But that's not his interest.
00:43:54He really is a stand-up comedian
00:43:56And he uses these women
00:43:57As just a starting off point
00:43:59To do a whole string of jokes.
00:44:00He's almost more Bob Hope.
00:44:03Crawling.
00:44:05Crawling up the railroad tracks
00:44:07To Chicago
00:44:12With parodonitis
00:44:14A Greek I picked up in a bar.
00:44:16Not that.
00:44:18My career spanned 36 years.
00:44:21I mean, do you realize
00:44:22I've had about 10,000 dresses
00:44:24On this poor, tired old frame.
00:44:2810,000.
00:44:29Not to count the wigs.
00:44:31The shoes.
00:44:32Are you ready for this?
00:44:34Get ready for a quick
00:44:37Evita.
00:44:39I call him Don Juan
00:44:41Because after one
00:44:43He is done.
00:44:45I did the whole thing
00:44:47Years and years ago
00:44:48Long before Madonna.
00:44:51Ladies and gentlemen
00:44:54Catherine Hepburn.
00:45:03You know, Spence said to me
00:45:06Kate, I'm a man
00:45:07And you're a woman.
00:45:10And I was taken back.
00:45:12It was the first time
00:45:14Anyone ever confirmed
00:45:15The doctor's report.
00:45:20You know, dear
00:45:22When you have four
00:45:24Academy Awards
00:45:25You can do any
00:45:27Fucking thing you want.
00:45:34Who knows?
00:45:36I'll be back
00:45:37Before you know it, folks
00:45:38I will return
00:45:40Your Norma Desmond
00:45:43For all of those fans
00:45:45Out there in the dark
00:46:11You're smoking, you're drinking
00:46:12You're smoking, you're drinking
00:46:15You're never thinking of tomorrow
00:46:19You're never thinking of tomorrow
00:46:23Girl, you're so nonchalant
00:46:27Your diamonds are shining
00:46:29You're dancing and dining
00:46:31At Bardot
00:46:33With Joey Arias
00:46:36Tell me
00:46:37Tell me
00:46:38Is that what you want?
00:46:40Is that what you really want?
00:46:43I know it is
00:46:44No
00:46:49Sophisticated
00:46:51Lady
00:46:52I know
00:46:56You missed the love
00:46:58You lost
00:47:00You lost
00:47:01And lost
00:47:02And lost
00:47:03And lost
00:47:04And lost
00:47:04And lost
00:47:04And lost
00:47:05And when nobody is near
00:47:11You cried
00:47:19You cried
00:47:20You cried
00:47:30Thank you
00:47:31What Bardot's become
00:47:32It's become like a living room
00:47:34This is what we offer in this room
00:47:36The intimacy, the closeness
00:47:38They're able to talk to someone
00:47:39Please give a big round of applause
00:47:41To my sister in crime
00:47:42We've been doing this gig for two years
00:47:45Joey Arias
00:47:49Thank you
00:47:50Thank you
00:48:03This song is about money
00:48:03One of my favorite things
00:48:04Listen, I know you like money
00:48:06Right, girls?
00:48:18You bet lots of money
00:48:20Nineteen eighty-two
00:48:22You make other men
00:48:24Make a fool
00:48:25Out of you
00:48:25Why don't you do right
00:48:28Like some other men do
00:48:34Get out of here
00:48:35Give Joey some money to
00:48:39All my characters
00:48:41Everything I base everything on
00:48:43Is of the darker side
00:48:45You know, exaggerated
00:48:46Silhouetted
00:48:47You know, it's all about the strength
00:48:49And that's what I feel like
00:48:51In the 90s and into the 21st century
00:48:52The women finally
00:48:53The liberation is
00:48:55I'm here to liberate women
00:48:57To make women feel good with themselves
00:48:58Get rid of those sneakers
00:48:59Put your heels back on
00:49:09This character right now
00:49:11Is kind of based on
00:49:12The bad women of the 40s and the 50s
00:49:14The Betty Page types
00:49:16It's not just one woman
00:49:17But it's all women of that era
00:49:20Here we are at bars
00:49:22Oh, have been a bar
00:49:24We're gonna party down
00:49:25To the sun
00:49:26Oh, my lord
00:49:27Why don't y'all do that
00:49:30Like some other men do
00:49:32Come on
00:49:35Get out of here
00:49:37Give me some money to you
00:49:40Give me some coins
00:49:43People that come up to you
00:49:44They have like free reign of you
00:49:46Touching you, grabbing you
00:49:47Because you're not a real woman
00:49:49But you're like
00:49:50But they do treat real women like that too
00:49:51So for us, it's kind of even harder
00:49:53Do you know why
00:49:54And the funny thing is about
00:49:55We could turn around and kick their ass
00:49:56They forget about that
00:49:57Which we've done a few times
00:49:58Exactly
00:49:58We've had some teeth knocked down
00:50:00Some ruses and fingers banged around
00:50:02But we show them what it's all about
00:50:04Yeah
00:50:08Oh, my pussy, bitch, baby
00:50:10Ah
00:50:35I cleaned up my act a lot
00:50:36But I've always kept the edge a lot
00:50:38Someone once told me that
00:50:39Joey Arias, you are the Walt Disney of trash
00:50:41And I like a lot of sexuality in my show
00:50:44Sexuality is part of my
00:50:46My theatrics, part of me
00:50:53Thank you very much
00:50:55You are at Bardot, New York City
00:50:58Let me get Ms. Ravenhoe out here

00:51:46My name is Bologene
00:51:47My name is Robert
00:51:49And where are you from?
00:51:50New Orleans
00:51:50City of dreams
00:51:51Screaming queens and red beans
00:51:54Me too
00:51:55Oh, really?
00:51:56Happy Mardi Gras
00:51:58You guys are fantastic
00:52:01I brought my accents with me
00:52:05It is said that on Mardi Gras morning
00:52:09The only two man-made structures
00:52:11That are visible from the moon
00:52:13Are actually the Great Wall of China
00:52:16In my hair
00:52:17What's up to me?
00:52:18This is wonderful
00:52:19Thank you, thank you
00:52:24Outside of New Orleans
00:52:26The whole state is really, really repressed
00:52:29Our neighbor, Mr. Shannon
00:52:31Used to dress up
00:52:32And run across our backyard
00:52:34Dressed as Bridget
00:52:36And then he'd ask us later
00:52:37If we saw Bridget walking by
00:52:39And everybody knew it was Mr. Shannon
00:52:41But no one really talked about it
00:52:42So now I'd hate to tell them
00:52:44That, you know, I'm Mr. Shannon
00:52:47Well, they don't know yet about me
00:52:49Hi, Mom
00:52:57In the South, there are so many drag queens
00:52:59And there's so many drag queens now
00:53:00Who are more known
00:53:01That are from the South
00:53:03Lady Bunny, RuPaul, La Homa

00:53:08I'm flying first class
00:53:10How about all of you?
00:53:12I think this is because
00:53:13We've had so many dramatic
00:53:14Southern women in our lives
00:53:15Like dramatic Southern ants
00:53:16And so many different characters
00:53:18In the South
00:53:19That I think they produce
00:53:20A lot of crazy interpretations of them
00:53:33All right
00:53:34We want to welcome you to Atlanta's
00:53:36Internationally acclaimed
00:53:37Charlie Brown
00:53:39Cabaret

00:53:44Are there
00:54:12The ones that don't know Charlie Brown
00:54:14Is going to know Charlie Brown
00:54:15Because I make a point
00:54:16To get out in our community
00:54:18As a man
00:54:19I like for the community
00:54:20To know me as a man
00:54:21And then they appreciate me more
00:54:22After they see me cross over
00:54:24Into the art
00:54:26You're simply the best
00:54:31Better than all the rest
00:54:35Once the nails
00:54:36And the makeup
00:54:37And the wigs
00:54:38And all the glamour
00:54:39Of it takes over
00:54:40I can feel this bitchiness
00:54:41Start coming out in me
00:54:42And getting stronger
00:54:43And stronger
00:54:45But down deep
00:54:46I'm still the same person
00:54:48I'm still a good old country boy

00:54:56Charlie Brown's cabaret
00:54:58Has really become
00:54:59A big mecca
00:55:00Of the South
00:55:01Because it is
00:55:02A dynamite
00:55:03Form of entertainment
00:55:09The thing I call
00:55:10Specialty of my house
00:55:12Is the personalities

00:55:17A lot of personality
00:55:18On this entertainer
00:55:19That they can look
00:55:20At someone in the audience
00:55:21And just crack a little smile
00:55:23And draw that person
00:55:24Into the show
00:55:43I think the rednecks
00:55:44That come here
00:55:45They hear about our show
00:55:46And they say
00:55:47Let's go see
00:55:48The men in dresses
00:55:51And they think
00:55:51They're going to come
00:55:52Into our room
00:55:53And just really run over us
00:55:54They can't

00:56:39Watching us
00:56:42The people that we get
00:56:44For our first set
00:56:46Are usually
00:56:46Straight couples
00:56:47Or strangers
00:56:48From other cities
00:56:50Straight people
00:56:50Really enjoy the show

00:56:55Exposed to everything

00:56:58And this is
00:56:59For a lot of people
00:57:00This is their chance
00:57:01To become exposed
00:57:03To a different culture
00:57:04A lot of gay people
00:57:05Don't get into the talent

00:58:17Very strongly
00:58:17And straight men

00:58:20The more I pick on them
00:58:21The more they come

00:59:01Ladies and gentlemen
00:59:03She's known as the blonde bombshell
00:59:07The Burmy doll lookalike of Atlanta
00:59:10Hooray
00:59:18I've got a dream about an angel
00:59:20On the beach
00:59:22And the perfect waves
00:59:23Are starting to go
00:59:26His hair is flying out
00:59:29And ribbons of gold
00:59:30And his touch
00:59:31She's got the power to stir
00:59:35I've got a dream about an angel
00:59:38In the forest
00:59:39Enchanted by the edge of the lake
00:59:44My body's blowing in the jewels
00:59:47The light in the air
00:59:49Flowing starting to shake
00:59:52But I don't see any angels in the city
00:59:55I don't hear any only quiet things
01:00:00And if I can't get an angel
01:00:03I can still get a boy
01:00:05And a boy will be the next best name
01:00:08The next best name to an angel
01:00:11A boy will be the next best name
01:00:22I've got a dream about a boy
01:00:24In the castle
01:00:25And he's dancing like a cat on the stairs
01:00:29He's got the fire
01:00:30And the wind in his eye
01:00:32And the fire
01:00:33And the drum and the deer
01:00:36I've got a dream about that darkness
01:00:38It's over
01:00:39And the light in the rings of the sun
01:00:41But it's only a dream
01:00:44And tonight is for me
01:00:45And you'll never know what it means
01:00:47But you'll know how it feels
01:00:49It's gonna be over
01:00:50Before you know it's begun
01:00:53I think everybody had a hero
01:00:57When they were little
01:00:57Mine was my mom
01:01:00Her femininity was always so
01:01:03Attractive to me
01:01:03As far as
01:01:05The way she smelled
01:01:06The way her skirts moved
01:01:08All of that stuff
01:01:09She just
01:01:10I used to sit back and watch
01:01:12You know
01:01:13She thought I thought she was pretty
01:01:14Meanwhile I just wanted to play in her clothes
01:01:16Before you know it's begun
01:01:18It's all we really got tonight
01:01:20It's all we really got tonight
01:01:21It's all we really got tonight
01:01:21It's all we're really got tonight
01:01:24Before you know it's gone tonight
01:01:27Tonight is what it means to be, oh
01:01:30Tonight is what it means to be, oh
01:01:34Begin with the finest thought
01:01:36What the answer for the restless
01:01:38And the broken heart
01:01:39And let the rules begin
01:01:41Let the times start
01:01:56Ladies and gentlemen
01:01:58The fire goddess of Atlanta, Georgia
01:02:03Raven
01:02:13God bless you
01:02:14Thank each and every one of you for coming
01:02:16A lot of you did not know me
01:02:18When you come in here tonight
01:02:19But let me tell you this
01:02:21You ain't gonna fucking forget me
01:02:23When you leave here tonight
01:02:24Cause darlings
01:02:25Charlie Brown is my name
01:02:27And fake pussy is still my game
01:02:38My daddy told me he said
01:02:39Laugh your way through life
01:02:40It will go by much easier
01:02:42And much faster
01:02:44And it's been a good lesson to me
01:02:46I've laughed all the way through my life
01:02:47And I plan to do it
01:02:49All the way to the grave
01:02:50I can feel you leave the grave
01:02:53I can feel you
01:03:20I'm so much more than you are.
01:03:42Where's the bus?
01:03:43We'll finally
01:03:47I'm here!
01:03:52AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
01:03:53I still met you for super juicy
01:03:55I got him in Ellen
01:03:59I got him in Ellen
01:04:04Oh
01:04:07Alright
01:04:11Very spikely
01:04:12getting on the bus
01:04:15Get on the bus
01:04:20Look at the cute guy in the street
01:04:22Hi Poppy
01:04:25Come on
01:04:26Come on
01:04:31Where is she?
01:04:33Trying to make that grand entrance
01:04:35She's Libra
01:04:40Oh
01:04:41Hello
01:04:44Hello
01:04:49Hello
01:04:53Hello
01:04:55Hello
01:04:55Hello
01:04:55Hello
01:04:56Oh that's beautiful
01:04:57I'm so
01:05:02Anybody got to be here?
01:05:05I would love to take her home
01:05:08But her heart has made a stone
01:05:10Got a tube on keeping on a fire
01:05:12Don't chill
01:05:13Can we run?
01:05:19Woo
01:05:19Woo
01:05:19Woo
01:05:19What's up?
01:05:20Take your Geratrol
01:05:25I missed that
01:05:27I'm over
01:05:29It's great
01:05:30It's great that drag is having such a big explosion
01:05:32And I think it's really the sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s sinking in
01:05:37And people examining alternative roles like house husband, working mother, man that wears woman's clothes
01:05:48Philadelphia, city of brotherly love
01:05:51Weak, weak
01:05:53I had a kick
01:05:54I don't know
01:05:57If a cause is right
01:06:00I'd leave
01:06:01To find an answer on the road
01:06:04So no
01:06:05Hi
01:06:05She's over there
01:06:06Have you seen Bunny?
01:06:08No
01:06:15Yeah
01:06:28We're happy gay Christians
01:06:50If a drag has survived, you know, a thousand years, it's not going away
01:06:55It might not be so fashionable, maybe next year at somebody's benefit
01:06:59But there's always going to be somebody who just feels this need to express themselves by being fantastic
01:07:53We seem to be lost
01:07:55We're going to the city dump
