Black Comics in Drag: A Trend?

Friday, January 30, 2009


Take a black male comedian, give him a show or movie ... and sooner or later the lipstick and wig comes out.
Is it coincidence or do black male comics all have the same schtick? What schtick? The schtick of mimicking women, complete with heels, stockings and in some cases, a girdle?
With the upcoming release of the full-feature length "Madea Goes to Jail" by the wunderkind Tyler Perry the debate will no doubt stir again. Perhaps more comics will see this as a way to enter the business.
Reminded I am when Spike Lee made a thinly veiled plea to Perry to take on an MLK biopic, I wonder what the fascination is with Hollywood seeing black men in drag.
Of course, there are PLENTY of This textothers (sidenote: Remember that movie, HavPlenty? WTF now?) who have donned the makeup, including A-listers such as Tom Hanks, who got his renown from a little sitcom where he performed in drag. Don't get me wrong, I get it. It's funny, at times. But does it seem that Hollywood has enabled black comics to put on that dress a little too eagerly? Perry's Madea blows them all away because her character is central to almost all of his other plays. But some say that the portrayals feed into the line of thinking that "If a black comic wants a blank check from Hollywood, he has to put on a dress." I don't know. What do you think?

It is pretty amazing how much of a difference [url=http://cungmuachung.net/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url] can have, of course you have to consider certain factors. So then what you simply must do is gather as many details as possible and think about them. You never really know what can happen should you neglect certain details, criteria and other aspects. You will be able to make the best judgements when you are confident you have all you need to know. What follows next are a few matters about this topic that you will want to know so you can pick the best options.

The relative difficulties of men's and women's fashion

Both women and men may have the difficulties of keeping their clothing up-to-date and in time, yet men's style frequently seems a lot less complicated. Of course, for both genders, clothes and style options can be quite as complicated, and there are numerous'trendy'items that can rapidly become fashion faux pas - who will say they often times see people running around in 70s flares? On the other side, men's style has a few choice items which can exist forever - which man is going to look out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Choose basic cuts, colours and materials and you'll never seem out-of-place.

Why basic men's style is amazing

The basic man's suit has barely changed for over a hundred years. True, there are many options for various occasions, nevertheless they are all popular in their pursuit of a wise, sharp try to find the wearer. The great thing about traditional fashion for men is that it is efficiently stylish efficiently cool. A well-groomed man can almost always look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this can be a testament to the style of such apparel. A suit will be worn to work in many occupations because of the professional look it affords to the person, instilling a feeling of respect and confidence. Equally a suit will undoubtedly be used to many social situations, like a tuxedo to a black-tie event. This amazing flexibility that allows suits to be used in just about all events is what gives it its eternal advantage and a lasting place in men's fashion.

Modern developments in traditional men's style

Whilst basic men's styles will never be replaced, it is interesting to note that shifts in men's fashion trends have produced certain classic clothes back into fashion. The acceptance of vintage clothing, specially, has taken back a wide-variety of common designs into men's closets, such as that of the dandy man. 'Dandy'is a term used to reference men who dress in a classic yet expensive way, acting in a sophisticated manner and placing value on appearance. This development for nearly'over-the-top'traditional fashion for men is apparent from events including the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress in obviously Victorian-style clothing and decide to try the streets on vintage bicycles - with most of the men sporting flawless mustaches! That is only one of many examples of proof exhibiting the resurgence of such types. There are also numerous sites on the web which concentrate on gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as whole web sites such as'The Art of Manliness'focused on providing articles on common men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, although certain facets of common men's style could be brought back as new styles, the basic garments which they are derived from will never slip out of fashion.
