Drag Queen Trapped in a Woman’s Body

1992, Video, 6:49 (Colour, Mono)

by Sheila Urbanoski

The title says it all. The song Drag Queen Trapped in a Woman’s Body by Ava Rave inspired and is featured in this video. Drag Queen Trapped in a Woman’s Body asks the burning question : “Why do men get to wear all the fun clothes?”, “Why do men in women’s clothing get to be called Queen, an inherently female and powerful title?”, and “Why, if a woman wears wigs, high heels, trowels of makeup, sequins, etc. (read, if a women dares to play her stereotypically feminine physical trappings), she is assumed to be a man in drag?”
