That, of course, wouldn't be classified as "women's clothes." They are being labeled "drag queens" because they are gay and wear "outlandish" outfits.

They are in great shape. I was talking to my partner and we remember the tall, lanky one doing a kick over his head and holding it...in SKINNY JEANS. How he didn't split his pants or destroy his nads is a mystery! You really would like their performance. They mix a variety of dances from modern, to ballet, to step. They put on a really good show.

As for the pear shape, yeah, I feel ya. I used to be rail thin, but at 44 years of age, my body doesn't burn fat like it used to do. I think I am going to buy an elliptical; I am tired of looking like a webble-wobble.
