Fran Lebowitz On Drag Queens & Fashion

“The extreme, exaggerated femininity is, for most people, not so great a look. Except for drag queens, because that’s what drag queens do. I mean, I always thought it would be much wittier for drag queens to dress in this very drab way. You know, the yoga pants? Well, what if drag queens just really let themselves go, pretending not to try, like most women? But there are no drag queens like that, because drag queens know how to wear clothes. Can you imagine if women tried as hard as drag queens? We’d be a much more attractive culture. I wouldn’t have to give out so many yoga pants citations.” – Fran Lebowitz, talking fashion with Elle Magazine.
