I'm in a MS Teams meeting at work. Someone on the call said "Pro Wrestling and Drag Shows are just different sides of the same coin," and now I'll never see either one the same way again.

Add Glitter Rock for the trifecta.

Add Glitter Rock for the trifecta.

I feel like Twisted Sister knew this.

Unconventional Opinion: involved character/avatar creation in video games is essentially a form of drag.

I mean think kinda yes. My main objection to the idea is that I feel like it steals valour from actual drag artists!

It also can border on art/portraiture where the face tools are very powerful, but this usually means a modded game like Skyrim (I forget the name of the big face slider enabling mode - maybe RaceMenu?).

Kiss pretty much had wrestling personas. You could have thrown them in the ring with The Undertaker and The Iron Sheik, and no one would have blinked.

I learned that Laurence Fishburne was on Peewee's Playhouse

he played the cowboy I think. He was also in Apocalypse Now and in Death Wish II before he was super famous (and the first Death Wish has Jeff Goldblum before he was famous)

I lied him in Boyz n the Hood and King of New York

But he never should have done "Biker Boyz."

I always saw it as virtual doll fashion play.

Just been to Nijo Castle in Kyoto, where the first Tokugawa Shōgun (Tokugawa Ieyasu) installed nightingale floors everywhere. These are quite functional and sound a bit like there’s always someone playing a xylophone in the corridor while you’re trying to work.

“The next person to try and play “The Rains of Kinkakuji” on the floorboards will be executed, I effing mean it.”

And today I learned: nightingale floors!

It’s not so much drag in particular as cosplay in general.

I don't think these things are as different as you think they are.
