The above clip shows Vida Boheme (Swayze) and Noxeema Jackson (Snipes) after winning a major New York drag contest and a trip to Hollywood. They are persuaded to take the inexperienced drag princess Chi-Chi (Leguizamo) with them."To Wong Foo Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar" is an example of a film in which cross-dressing provides the element of comedy.
