I'm not a big fan of drag shows myself, but they don't offend me and I don't much care what people choose to wear in public as long as it's not obscene (and by that I mean I'd prefer people keep their private bits private). I guess they were trying to be sensitive and that's a good thing, but it was a silly over-step.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-85841547392859283132012-02-24T22:34:36.424+00:002012-02-24T22:34:36.424+00:00Hi Nick, thanks for dropping over to Lady Mondegre...Hi Nick, thanks for dropping over to Lady Mondegreen's Secret Garden.<br />Lady Mondegreen has a secret cousin called Amanita Mascara (she doesn't have a blog - yet) who finds that dressing in drag somehow speaks to her female androgyny.
