At the Theatre

Husband M, son K and I were downtown (Toronto) last week to see the 'Kinky Boots' theatre production. I took some quick photos for you.  It is a great musical show and story, if you don't mind a lot of drag queen entertainment.  It led us to a discussion that night of 'drag queen' versus 'transvestite' definitions.  I think it means the same thing, although 'drag queen' would be for purposes of entertainment.

So happy you had such a fun time with the family. I'm still recovering from jet lag and trying to get things done that have piled up on us.

Hello,

This is an interesting post. When transvestites entertain they are called Drag queens.This is something new to me. In the modern days, there are so many different ways of entertaining ourselves.

Best wishes

I love a good night at the theater, although I go rather rarely these days... I'm glad you had a good night. Wording can be tricky sometimes...

The photos look like this is a lovely town. Hope you enjoyed the theatre, wonder if Kinky Boots is the same as we know here, about a shoe company that ends up being run by the son after the father passes away? If so, it was about a real company based in Northampton here in the UK.

Ann that is the show!

I always thought the term drag queen referred to when someone uses way too makeup that's beyond obvious and super repulsive. I don't think they leave a good image for the rest of the transgender community.

Wasn't that a movie, too? If it was, I saw it and loved it. It was about a shoe maker and he made boots for the men who dressed as women.
