Diggin' Deeper
Posted: Thu Jul 14, 2016 4:26 pm
I often look at female impersonator videos, just because I see a lot in common between them and us (CDs). Recently I've been looking at Brian Keith, who is of a certain age and presents a very convincing onstage portrayal.
This video is the one my title comes from:

It's a short backstage interview from 1999 (i.e. not his current image) where he's in full drag:
Interviewer: "Which one of you is you?"
BK: "Right now, it's me. I told you. Diggin' deeper. I've got someone else right now. I've got so many different characters in one."
I struggle to find a template to explain myself to myself. But that short exchange seems to capture it. It's me when I dress up and turn into a woman. It is digging deeper. It feels just exactly like getting someone else. And there are many different bits of me, not just me as a woman.
Anyway, just thought I'd share.
