Socks appeal

Rico swaggers down the aisle of the Art House Theatre in Provincetown,
oozing confidence and brazenly flirting with the cheering women who've
claimed every available seat (plus a few folding chairs at the back)
for the sold-out show. Clad in aviator sunglasses and an army-green
T-shirt, with a thin, carefully clipped mustache on his upper lip and
a cigar dangling from the corner of his mouth, he struts with the
bravado of an enormously plumed male bird during mating season.
When he reaches the stage, he gradually removes pieces of his
ensemble. Off come the sunglasses and the mustache, ripped free in one
quick tug, and on go a dainty black-lace glove and crimson lipstick.
Next, Rico removes his boxer shorts and "package," in this case a
balled-up sock. Underneath his guy undies he's wearing tight black
ladies underwear with tassels. He steps into a pair of matching red
stiletto heels.
