Drag Shows!!

John Wayne's career was playing John Wayne in slightly different costumes.

I don't like Wayne's politics but in the righr role (no joke intended he could be very good.
"Red River" "She Wore A Yellow Ribbon" "THe Searchers" and "True Grit" come to mind.
In "The Searchers" in particular, he was willling to bring out the dark side of his charecter.
And I could name plenty of actros who pretty much had one shtick they built theri career on.

I agree.

And he went to his last gunfight in a tram, so he has to be OK.

Can't agree. He was JW no matter what role he was playing. If that role lent itself to JW's personality, great. But he couldn't 'act' his way out of a wet paper bag.

I heard he was hankering to fight injuns even at the Oscars.

Damn. We have to be old to get that one!

I think a lot of cockney words come from cockney.

You don't say.

 

[Robin]

You don't say.

The downside of editing on a small screen without your specs.

I meant a lot of Cockney words come from Polari of course.

You look beautiful in your wrath!

Bill Maher mentioned it yesterday:
Sacheen Littlefeather

 

[Brainster]

How classic is it that she turned out to be a cigar-store Indian?

Meanwhile back at the drag shows:

Hundreds of protesters, including armed white supremacists, and LGBT-community supporters descended on Wadsworth's Memorial Park on Saturday as a humanist group tried to put on a drag queen storytelling event for children.

Toward the end of the four-hour event, two people charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct were arrested after a series of melees involving pepper spray, the violent use of a flag pole as a weapon and a protester who, according to a witness and a video posted on social media, allegedly pulled a gun and tried to fire the weapon twice.

Wadsworth Police Chief Dan Chafin said Sunday that he's aware of the footage of the alleged handgun but couldn't comment further pending an investigation. The man wielding the metallic object, along with another who supported the event, were jailed.

Sounds like Drag Queen Story Marathon.

 

[Robin]

Yeah, that's the part that concerned me too, about the armed white supremacists attacking a children's event.

The length of the event.

Glad we found the same thing unusual, as I certainly expect the protests at this point.

Me, I like to have these events last an hour at most.

Armed Nazi thugs have such short attention spans.

Is this case related to Drag Queen Story Hour?

Indeed, what strange bedfellows some anti-drag folk find themselves aligned with:

What strange bedfellows.

One person who attended the event to protest the age appropriateness of people in drag reading to children said he was "shocked" to see and hear what white supremacists were saying.

A Black reporter from the Beacon Journal assigned to cover the event left, for his own safety, after being called a racial slur several times by protesters. Video of the event posted by attendees and a documentary filmmaker shows a bald, white man swinging a black flag with a white swastika. Members of the neo-Nazi's group point out the few Black people at the event.

"How does it feel being a pedophile?" one man in the white supremacist group says.

"There's a gay (racial profanity) right there," another man replies in the video, which has been viewed 1 million times on Twitter.

Protesters carried signs for "White lives matter" and "Mothers against grooming," which refers to the alleged process of building trust with children or families with the ultimate aim of child sexual abuse.

[bruto]

I wish I could be confident that it's more a case of strange bedfellows or unwanted alliances than of revealing true colors.

For the general groups of "protestors" I do think there is an ideological overlap.

 

[Thermal]

Yeah, that's the part that concerned me too, about the armed white supremacists attacking a children's event.

The length of the event.

In fairness, the event wasn't attacked. As usual, it was the support v protest groups that came out to play with each other. Like the shows themselves, it's not about the children. It's the adults flexing against each other using the children as a backdrop.

Yes, because scheduling anything that neo-Nazis have decided they don't like is only flexing against the neo-Nazis. Nobody is scheduling events at the library for the kids, they're only doing it to flex against the skinheads and white supremacists.
