Chit Chat: Funeral chic with a twist

Published Tuesday 30 June 2009 at 12:45

On to a very different type of grand dame of the stage - last week the passing of Danny La Rue was marked with a private funeral in north west London to celebrate the life of the late drag star. And, it would appear, female impersonators have their very own way of paying their last respects.

While it is of course traditional to wear black to a funeral, one drag artist in attendance was seen taking this to a new level by donning a rather stylish, jet black wig as he entered the church. An apt and touching tribute, we think.
