About: Disguised in Drag   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Any scenario where a man dresses as a woman for purposes of disguise. In many cases, this results in a Paper-Thin Disguise, the male character with his square jaw and broad shoulders looking like an Amazon at best and a Drag Queen at worst... but it's still good enough to fool others most of the time. He may look genuinely attractive as a woman, but Attractive Bent Gender is likely to come into play in either case. Frequently, but not invariably, Played for Laughs. May result in An Aesop about walking a mile in women's shoes. Harmless Lady Disguise is a subtrope.
