What You See Is What You Get
Can someone please explain when black men dressed in drag became so immensely popular?
Tomorrow Madea’s Family Reunion hits the theaters, about a month before writer/director/star Tyler Perry’s first book Don’t Make a Black Woman Take Off Her Earrings hits the shelves.
Now, the theatrical practice of men dressing in drag is nothing new, of course. Guys have been doing it for comedic and sometimes dramatic effect for over a thousand years and many classic modern comedies involve cross-dressing men (Some Like It Hot, La Cage Aux Folles, and Tootsie come to mind).
