[net.motss] the concept of "drag"

keith@telesoft.UUCP (Keith Shillington @spot) (03/03/86)

Just a brief note.

In my "family" we have accepted the term drag to include any
"costume" which would not be worn by the particular individual in
"ususal" circumstances.  This typically indicates suit and tie,
although can often be extended to any "dressing the part".

I think this is another case of "gay lingo" moving into common usage.

Anyone have comments on the phenomenology of "gay culture" moving into
"fashion" and then commonality (vis running shoes, exposed keys,
earrings, etc.)
