We are what we are and what we are is an illusion.
We love how it feels
Putting on heels causing confusion.
We face life though it's sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter;
Face life, with a little guts and lots of glitter.
--La Cage aux Folles
Grab your chicken cutlets and enjoy this quiz, based on drag history as well as live and onscreen depictions. Some of these answers are a little more specialized, but (as your smith is a hetero Midwesterner with cable) much of it is pretty mainstream. Either way, you better work!
