best jewel heist. ever.

One of my (many) personal mottos is: if yer gonna do anything, do it in style. Which brings us directly to today's inspirational story- in Paris, three or four gunmen held up a Harry Winston's and made off with one of the largest caches of jewels in history. IN DRAG. I have so many questions. The first one, obviously, is-was it good drag, or bad drag? Good drag is an homage to femininity, gorgeous camp, an expression of good taste in a gender-bending package-RuPaul is an obvious example. Bad drag is Mrs. Doubtfire, anything Tyler Perry has been in, and the entire Denver drag queen scene. In the middle we have everything from the serial killer in Silence of the Lambs (love the androgyny...not sure about the ratty little dog and human-skin fashion line), the boys of the Glam era,which run the gamut from absolutely delicious to a glittery train wreck, and JT Leroy. Kind of.
Enquiring minds need to know!!!
