[box] “Drag is armor, darling. No matter how you look at it. Once I become Bambi, nobody can hurt me. Not my family, not the drunk assholes at the bar, nobody. A good lace-front wig and the right contouring are as strong a bulletproof vest as I’ve ever needed.” ― Jeffery Self, Drag Teen[/box]
Catty, campy, fun documentary about preparations leading up to a national drag beauty pageant. No talking heads. Not essential but entertaining, if you like this kind of thing.
