Q: Are We Not Men?

It seems like you can't swing a Prada bag without walloping a drag queen these days -- not that you'd ever intentionally hit a drag queen, cuz she'd scratch your eyes out. Suffice it to say that you probably don't want to mess with Tucson's self-proclaimed "first gender performance group,"...

It seems like you can't swing a Prada bag without walloping a drag queen these days -- not that you'd ever intentionally hit a drag queen, cuz she'd scratch your eyes out. Suffice it to say that you probably don't want to mess with Tucson's self-proclaimed "first gender performance group," Boys R Us. Putting the out in outré, these new divos of drag can the cleavage, pencil in the five o'clock shadow, and sing in a '40s crooner style. So find a pickle and some tin foil, Spinal Tap style, and join Boys R Us during the weekly Cherry Bomb Queer Ladies Night.
