i should have put this in the caption:
it was not like any other drag show i have been to
it was in a house,
on the outskirts of Havana,
it was mostly working guys
(though there were a couple of women
and i have heard, often families come)
no one in the audience was in anyway "dressed"
it was like they were at the local pub
and while the costumes were elaborate
and the performances were dramatic
it was very earnest,
not campy, not like a caricature
there was none of the "oh girlfriend" attitude
people were respectfully watching a performance...
