What drag is doing for women

Maybe you're shy, or a shut-in. Maybe you're single and don't want to be. Maybe all that truck driving, dog walking, kid raising, and company running has sapped your femininity.

You're a woman, and whatever the reason, you long to feel sexy and glamorous for a change. A spa day usually does the trick. But this is a deeper, almost spiritual problem that no spa — or therapist or "Sex and the City" binge — can cure. You could turn to your girlfriends or your sisters or your stack of Sophie Kinsella books. Instead, you do something more drastic, something more unexpected.

You dress in drag.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
