http://www.queerty.com/does-this-cross-dressing-cop-ad-finally-make-the-transvestite-shtick-work-20120130/Over the past few months, there's been a lot of debate over untraditional portrayals of transgender types, from a drag queen in a tampon advert to two idiotic straight-dude cross-dressers on ABC's universally detested Work It.
Unlike those questionable portrayals, though, we think the above print ad—created for Chilean over-the-counter eyedrops Red Off—is pretty fab.
It depicts a man, a cop by day, looking a little worse for wear in drag at an apparently wild party. It looks like a fun scene—and the idea, we imagine, is the Red Off will mask the effects of his hangover tomorrow. (Some aspirin and makeup remover might help in that department, too.)
