Should've put these on my blog ages ago!

Looked at drag queens and transvestites and the costumes they wear.
Obviously Alternative Miss World. I looked on the website and copied this;
"What is the Alternative Miss World?
Started in 1972, The Alternative Miss World is not about beauty - it's about transformation - and when it comes to costume absolutely anything goes. Like the real Miss World there is day wear, swim-wear and evening wear and the all important personality interview! But Logan refuses to let anyone rehearse, and anything can - and often does - happen.
It's about creative free-reign, about the ordinary becoming extraordinary. Contestants over the years have been famous and infamous, celebrated and unknown, a parade of freaks, fops, show offs and drag queens... including Andrew's many friends and family! The climax is a tear stained coronation with Logan's dazzling Crown Jewels made of broken mirrors."

But I thought of other examples of mass amounts of drag queens and transvestites, a friend suggested Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. This is a 1994 drama-comedy film. The plot follows the journey of three drag queens who travel across Australia. Not really something I'd watch but my friend was nice enough to give a link to a video as well so here it is...
