I'm not a close follower of entertainment news, but I hear Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law do a bit of crossdressing in the new Sherlock Holmes movie, coming out soon.
I also heard the pair will be starring in a remake of Some Like It Hot, but they're having trouble finding the right actress to play Sugar.
Hollywood rumours? Facts? I dunno. I'm just the messenger. And I'm still not sure how I feel about comic drag. I've been trying to figure it out for about a year, so I could write something.

Another tough Meg question.
ReplyDeleteFor the most part I am not offended by 'comic drag'. I like almost any sort of crossdressing. At a bare minimum I can envy the transformation of a drab guy into a version of a presentable woman.

ReplyDeleteI can't stand "comic drag" in entertainment... too often it is a cheap attempt at humour and a "dog-whistle" for homophobes. I only appreciate it when done so out of respect and/or humanises those who cross-dress in real life.
