FabSwingers.com forum: RuPauls drag race

Family are currently addicted to this, I occasionally sit down and watch it with them.

I will admit while I can only stand about ten minutes before losing interest It has its moments.

But it lead to the following questions.

Why isn't their a show about women dressing up as men?

But then I realised that men don't dress up outrageously enough to be mimicked in such a way.

But then neither do women dress in such a way that the Queens mimic.

So I am asking in a totally non judgmental way.

What are the differences between a drag Queen and a TV?

Is one a hobby or is it a way of life?

Then there is the sexuality?

Are all drag Queens gay

Where as TVs are a mixture of gay,straight and bi?

Like I said I am in no way judging.

It's actually fascinating seeing how much effort and attention to detail the Queens put in.

Obviously we all know that lots of our very own TVs etc.. On here are spectacular and must put in a huge amount of time and effort.

Yes I could Google the answers I am looking for, but I think it would be interesting to have a proper conversation and hear the opinions of the ladies that do dress.

Please forgive my ignorance regarding any of the terms used or if I have omitted/included anything that people are offended by.

Simple answer to that is ...

It's because men's clothes are shite !

Well exactly, be a pretty dull show watching women dressed up in a nice pair of slacks and a rollneck.

Its hyper visceral.

Watch paris is burning documentary for a concise explanation

Imagine if you were in street gangs and had to outdo other street gangs.

But instead of drivebys and shoot-outs you have to outdo each others outfits, styles, insults and shockingness.

Tvs like to wear womens clothes for whatever reasons they choose.
