Ever interviewed a drag queen before?

As some of you may know, I work in the journalism industry. Yes, I am a member of a dying breed, the paper and print writer, following in the footsteps of such communication luminaries as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Perhaps that is why I (a sports writer) was asked to cover the opening ceremonies of the new LGBTQ resource center, featuring a performance by "Coco Peru". The guest of honor did a bit of a comedy routine before the ribbon-cutting, which even as a straight male I (and the rest of the audience) found quite funny. Afterwards however, I was to go backstage to interview the "woman" herself. She was very nice, but it sure was an odd experience to ask her questions about her career while watching her take off her wig (revealing a shaved bald head) and remove her silicon pads. Just odd.

How big were those silicon pads? Below C and it's a deal breaker. On topic, I've never interviewed a drag queen but I have done an interview with a vampire.
 

No I haven't, but it's a dream of mine.

She? That's a man, man.

Off-Topic: That film bored me such that the cry's of my friend who proclaimed "Its Beautiful and Artistic" fell apun the artistic tears of sorrow I weapt for the anguish of being in a single-room house.

On-Topic: Ive never interviewed a Drag Queen, nor any other type of queen royal or otherwise, but it definately sounds like an experience lol

No, I did not know you were in the journalism, you never bothered to tell me. 
 
Sounds like you had an interesting time. I on the otherhand just saw Allan Holdsworth live right in front of me (About 5ft in Montreal). I don't know about you guys, but Allan ranks a bit higher than a drag queen. No offense to this person.

Only if you count interviewing myself.

As i suspected.  Thank you for confirming the awesomeness that is the Rupaul.

Yes. As a matter of fact I have interviewed a drag queen.

Well I haven't interviewed people in the same sense of the word you have, but I have interviewed a few transgendered people as potential employees. One of them got the job they applied for. Nature food stores see all sorts of different people working in them, which was one aspect of it I enjoyed. I just hated the customers and the corporate overlords. >.>

I'll dress in drag to get an interview.

JOURNALIZE THIS! 

" She? That's a man, man. "

I kissed a drag queen. And I liked it.

No. I have never interviewed a drag queen. 
 
GiantBomb: Making you answer the tough questions.

Uh wow. I never interviewed anyone, and I'm not sure if i want to! lol. : - P

 
No...... 
 
 
Want some peanuts?

Was it difficult thinking of good questions to ask her? 'cause you're not sure whether to go for the obvious ones or not. At least I would think that. Either way I hav'nt interviewed a drag queen before but I would like to along with other "strange" people. It's interesting that your usual generic people.

I'm close friends with a guy who likes to dress up as a woman, but I wouldn't call him a drag queen.

Is there a difference between a drag queen and a transvestite besides the name?

Actually yes.  It was for a class assignment, I had to interview a random person and get an interesting story out of them. Somehow I found a drag queen (though I didn't know it when I approached him, he wasn't all dressed up) who was heading up a cross-dressing variety show. I got some of the best quotes ever out of that dude/lady.

" Is there a difference between a drag queen and a transvestite besides the name? "

no, never interviewed one but i have seen a few of them. at my work there's one, she just looks creepy. in her cubical she has a shrine going on there. she was just a weird person, i would only say like one thing to her.

Weird that this should come up, Dame Edna was just in my college 2 days ago, collecting the James Joyce Award from the Literary and Historical Society...yeah, i dunno

From what I understand, they often like to be referred to as "she" and "her". "

I may want to be addressed as "Your Royal Highness" but that doesn't necessarily mean people will do it. More often than not I just get "Dude." "
