Why did Giuliany dress in drag?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

I truly don't know. Wikipedia is of no help. Was it a charity stunt? SNL? What?

[babylonsister]

1. I know he did it for SNL, but there were probably other instances. nt

[riona]

13. And, it was a good look for him

:rofl:

[sabbat hunter]

2. charity stunts n/t

[Cleita]

3. So he could be called Girliani?

:rofl:

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

4. Ostensibly stunts and fundraisers, but he has never passed up a chance to appear in drag

I think he really is a transvestite. (Not that there's anything wrong with that)

One can always say, "it's a costume party," or, "it's halloween."

But the odd thing is that he never missed any opportunity to appear in public in drag, versus being a mummy or a vampire or whatever.

8. and he'd be able to pull off Nosferatu easily!

[RaleighNCDUer]

9. Brilliant! nt

5. Which time?

Rudy dressed in drag on many occasions at NYC functions. A lot of us in the NYC transgender community often used to chat about that.

The photos are nothing compared to the videos which reveal a man very at ease in his heels, and effecting a female voice.

18. Maybe it's because it was Guilianni, but I always felt he was making fun of women.

When I see a drag queen, I see someone making a tribute.

[maddiejoan]

21. I see a classic closet transvestite.

That dresses up only at Halloween or special occasions in order to justify their fetish.

It's way more than just ridiculing women (though there is that element as well)

He shaves his legs, he has clear indication of developing a "femme persona" when dressed, and he overcompensates for his lispy effeminite mannerisms with macho swagger and a committment to the most violent and macho attitudes. As a transexual woman, I've met this type of man on many occasions and they are generally very self-loathing unstable individuals.

6. Dinner at LeCirque

7. My first laugh of the day.

I mean, damn, that was brillianr.

[sarge43]

10. It made him feel very, very special.

As memory serves, but doesn't reenlist, I believe it was some charity get down.

[Auntie Bush]

11. Because he's a Drag Queen!

Maybe he's really a gender challenged human(?) being.

When we speak of ghouliani we should refer to him as the Drag Queen.

Probably dresses in his wife's undies and makeup when she's not home.

Every time he's presented with an opportunity to dress as a woman...he goes for it.

[Catherine Vincent]

12. Because it's the only way for him to wear his wife's undies and get away with it.

[surfermaw]

14. I don't know why the dress in drag, however

I do know when he was in a race with Hillary for Senate , he left his wife and according to the media, he went to live with the wealthiest Gay Man in New York City, any one with information on his stay with a Gay man, this is not a joke or junk, it was a story told by the T.V. stations.

[hedgehog]

19. I would be very careful with implications that Rudy is gay or with

suggestions that we refer to him as the Drag Queen. I couldn't care less about his sexuality. (I happen to believe that he adopts drag in order to express his disdain and contempt for women rather than because he himself is a drag queen!)HOWEVER, I am very upset at any attacks based on Rudy's ambiguous sexuality because they can easily devolve into attacks on anyone who isn't a straight male.

[maddiejoan]

22. I'm a transgendered woman

and I hear ya --BUT--there is a huge difference between an out and proud transsexual and the type of fetishistic "closet case" that I see Rudy as.

it's a similar difference as between a gay man and a "Larry Craig".

The transvestism isn't the problem. The furtive skulking denial is the problem.

[hedgehog]

31. Very true nt

[Vickers]

15. Because it makes him feel pretty.

Duh!

:P

[Stop Cornyn]

16. 9/11?

[Sparkly]

17. That's got to be it!

Rudy's answer to EVERY question.

[soothsayer]

24. It really DID change everything!

[racaulk]

30. Oh ROFL!

Perfect! :rofl:

:thumbsup:

[rjones2818]

20. Because FSM

whacked him with his noodly appendage and made him dress in drag!
He knew Rudy would someday run for President, and thought that it would add a little lightness to the proceedings.

Go FSM! :woohoo:

Yo ho and Ra-men!

[soothsayer]

23. A better question is why doesn't he always?

[L0oniX]

25. It's his best look

[maddiejoan]

27. Biden was wrong!

it's a noun+verb+9/11+faaaaaaaaaaaabulous!

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

26. because he just happens to have a closet full of size 16 dresses... why else?

[Perry Logan]

28. It's what Republicans demand from their candidates. George W. Bush used to suck dick at Yale.

"In 1984 I watched George W. Bush enthusiastically and expertly perform a homosexual act on another man, one Victor Ashe."
