Halloween's a Drag
For some, the season's frights come in wigs and pumps

There are vague memories – just a blur – of tromping around in my mother's pumps. What was I, 3?

As a high school junior, I was partial to eyeliner. So was any cool boy circa 1986 who favored Adam Ant over Van Halen.

Yet for reasons beyond my understanding, drag gives me the willies. I avoid the High Heel Race. I've passed on Miss Adams Morgan. And if I've never seen you in drag, there's no need to show me the photos.

Could this be dr->-bleeped-<-hobia? If so, what's the root cause?
