FOTOBOM: GOLDEN GIRLS DRAG PARODY @ OPUS UNDERGROUND

Every Saturday this October, men dressed as cantankerous old ladies brought the classic sitcom “Golden Girls” to life. I attended the final night, where the cast of faux-Bea Arthur & Co. shamelessly hit on the audience, and the audience, as they should, hit right back.

 

Case in point: when asked why he thought his seat was best one man replied, “Because I can smell you”. It was that kind of thing. The takeaway: it doesn’t take Tom Hanks to make cross-dressing funny. Yes, that was a “Bosom Buddies” reference. Look it up.
