Pantomime is a Xmas entertainment in England and has always allowed men to play women and to  a lesser extent vicevera...but this year the number of crossdressed men on telly is an all time high:  crossdressers advertising different products and companies, crossdressers playing comedy sketchs, feature on dead drag queen, crossdressers on quiz shows, and a whole bunch of them in the Cinderella pantomime. It's ->-bleeped-<- overload.

... and then there was me in panto. I have often "crossdressed" and played the male villain, and in fact I have won an award for my cannibal chief - the ultimate in irony methinks.   

(I should perhaps add that at other times I have also successfully played female parts.)
