“Breakfast on Pluto” review. “Mixing dark humour with camp comedy, this romps through Patrick’s life with enthusiasm and an eye for glamour. Murphy looks startlingly pretty in blonde curls, lip gloss and fur…”
JAHSONIC: VOCABULARY OF CULTURE
http://www.jahsonic.com/Drag.html
Definitions of drag, cross-dressing, transgender and transvestism. “Drag: Word Origin. A male actor required by his role (or the lack of a female actor) to wear women's clothes on stage quickly discovers what women have known for centuries -- that long skirts and dresses often drag on the floor. Such roles became known as "drag" roles, and when cross-dressing became popular off-stage, the theatrical term was adopted for the practice.”

“Transamerica” review. “As its punning title suggests, Trans-america is a road movie in which the 37-year old transsexual Bree (Felicity Huffman) crosses the continent from New York to California accompanied by 17-year-old rent boy Toby (Kevin Zegers), who's unaware that Bree (aka Sabrina) is really his father, Stanley.”

Interview with “Breakfast on Pluto” director and star, Neil Jordan and Cillian Murphy. “There's a long history of men dressing as women in film, you know, and so we just worked at it, I think. And I very much wanted the character not to have an 'on' and an 'off'. That Kitten was just Kitten, all the time. – Cillian Murphy”
