"The drag queens are wonderful: The make-up, the hair. They're amazing," says one audience member.

But not everyone is so enthusiastic about men who dress as women. Drag queens Jesse Volt and Mimi Imfurst have been performing as women for years, and while they love their adoring audiences, they also know the dark side of drag. On their way to shows, they say they are often the victims of ridicule and hatred from people on the street.
