"They have their quick-change folk in old Nippon - here's a gentleman to whom changing into a woman is but a brief breather in his day's work -" M/S of a Japanese man kneeling down on a podium in front of a curtain. MS Japanese man sits cross legged on floor between 2 boxes; stage curtain in BG. He has two drawers of clothes beside him. He starts to pull pieces of fabric out of the boxes and quickly drapes them around himself to resemble a Japanese woman's traditional costume. He puts on various items of clothing and turns himself into a Geisha Girl - a Japanese Drag Queen! For the final touch he adds hairpieces and hangs strings of beads from this elaborate "do". Then he picks up a small fan or mirror sits up on his knees in a with his lips pursed. | |
