Life's a drag for this queen

Kris Kohl wears many hats.

Wigs? Even more.

That goes for makeup, too. She has to, thanks to the limelight.

But if she has less than half an hour between airport and stage? Dry
shave, "and you pray for low lighting when you get there." Kohl is a
drag queen — make that "female illusionist," she said backstage at New
Age Renegade recently, while she got dolled up for photos. Her hats we
mentioned a second ago aren't literal, as Kohl's involved in various
charities, including being Czarina I of The Royal Barony of All
Oklahoma, a nonprofit that serves Oklahoma charities.
