FOF #2743 Frank DeCaro Dives Into His Drag Book

Published: May 15, 2019, 9:14 p.m.

Since the early days of show business drag queens have turned the status quo on its head by simply dressing up in women\u2019s clothing.

A lot has happened since Charlie Chaplin girled it up in the early days of film, a queer revolution took place, Herman Munster became a drag queen for a day, RuPaul became \u201cSupermodel to the World\u201d and it seems just about everyone these days is a drag queen.

Today comedian Frank DeCaro joins us to talk about his new book \u201cDrag: Combing Through the Big Wigs of Show Business\u201d which takes a look at the biggest names in drag, from long gone queens of yore who sold out Broadway theaters to interviews with contemporary cross dressing legends like Lady Bunny and Coco Peru.

Listen as we chat with Frank about some of the forgotten queens from yesteryear and how the divas stack up against their famous impersonators.

Available anywhere fine books are sold. (giggles) Tink!
