Have you ever done drag?
Ok...have you ever, even once, done drag?

I have...for Halloween , 1984, when I was then living in Dallas. Pictures were taken...luckily, none survive. I was probably the ugliest looking woman in the country, if not the world. :-)

3. Oh, I thought you meant taking a drag from weed.

Well, since it's about cross-dressing, then yes I have. My freshman year in college a couple of years ago, I put on women's thong underwear and a sports bra and the ugliest looking wig (Peggy Bundy ugly, for those of you who have seen "Married With Children" on tv.) I did it because of one of those stupid bets, you know, the kind you make when you're plastered.

I'll never do that again. I was the ugliest woman on the planet. Luckily for me no one took pictures. :)

11. Yep!
Many years ago my sister and I decided we would dress up (I can't remember what the occasion was now. It could have been that we were drunk even. LOL)

Anyway, we did my sister up as this real butt ugly Cinderella sister, and me up as a guy.

We stuffed the pants I had on with socks, tied my hair back and put it under a cap, drew a moustache, I wore a tie, you name it.

Then we decided to dress my sisters then idiot boyfriend up as a woman. I must admit he looked better as a woman than he ever did as himself. After we finished dressing him in a jade green silk dress, stocking, heels, stuffed bra, make up, wig, we proceeded to go outside. Well this car stopped for my sisters X, and proceeded to try and pick him up, so he gave the guy a little (being the operative word) flash under the dress. Well with that the car took off screaming down the road. LOL

Yes there are pictures. No I will never show them, because, well I was just so young and silly back then. ;)

13. My mom dressed me up as a little girl
for Halloween when I was about five. We still have the pictures somewhere. I think I was kind of cute. I told Mom once that that was the reason I turned out to be gay.:evilgrin: She didn't think that was funny at all.:shrug:

16. Actually, yes.
And I'd forgotten all about it until you reminded me.
When I was a tyke, I had two maiden great-aunts who were my babysitters. Sometimes they would dress me in one of their smocks and put make-up on me. I thought it was a fun game.
Now, it sounds weirder than shit.
Some kind of Tennessee Williams gig.
It's a wonder I turned out straight.
;-)

19. With my two best friends in junior high school, dressed as
Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard, the Supremes, at the junior variety show, on the stage in front of all the hundreds of the students in the school. This was almost forty years ago, by the way.

We ran through of medley of Supreme's hits, dressed in spoolie heels, big wigs. Mark (who was Mary Wilson, I being the youngest, was Flo) had his mother make our dresses, gold lamé.

The kids at the school all loved it, thought it was hilarious. We felt like the belles of the ball, and we were only 13 or 14.
