Love and the Perfect Accessories
New interview with actor John Epperson, a.k.a. the fabulous
Lypsinka. Just don't call him a drag queen!
Speaking of drag performers - I'm really getting into The Brini Maxwell Show, a how-to program which pops up occasionally on the E! network. First off, I love Brini's different wild looks, from miniskirted go-go girl to Carol Bradyesque funky housewife. This ain't your typical drag, however. Brini tones down the camp to an almost subliminal degree, resulting in a show that is much more complex than it pretends to be. The guy plays it completely straight, as it were. To quote a Television Without Pity commentator: "Brini strikes me as anti-drag, in a way. You can't picture her chewing scenery. Or, if she did, she'd deposit it demurely into her dinner napkin."
