"As was true for their cross-dressing heroines, costume is an essential part of the performance. Both Bianca (Coco) and Sierra (Rosie) are exquisitely beautiful, but their habitual get-up is so in-your-face ugly you'd think the aim, as with primitive warriors, was to scare away the enemy. Bianca, 26, who is tall and curvy, with an Artful Dodger swagger (she quite often wears a black mustache penciled on her upper lip), tends to dress in a rather sardonic takeoff of homeboy style. That day, she had on a pair of supersize purple-and-gold Adidas sweat pants in velour, with matching sneakers, a black XXL T-shirt bearing the logo Black Pit Bull and a riding coat constructed from two quilted nylon dressing gowns, one of them red tartan, the other pink-and-green-flowery, with large Japanese Manga-esque appliqués sewn on them."
