Drag-ophobia at Meatpacking District Boutique?

By Michael Musto Fri., Feb. 18 2011 at 2:13 PM

After a charmant lunch at the Standard with drag star Kitty Hiccups and cultural excavator Brian Cummings, we went shopping in the area.

And shopping naturally leads to sightseeing and photo ops.

When I spotted a fabulous greenhouse display in the back of the Matthew Williamson boutique on 14th Street, I asked the woman working inside if we could get a photo of it.

"Yes!" she exclaimed.

I had Brian run out and get Kitty for the photo.

As Kitty sashayed in -- in a personally designed blue satin Malan Breton ensemble -- the woman seemed to blanch.

"Let me ask my director if a picture's OK," she muttered, running into an office out of view.

Soon enough, she returned, followed by some beavery looking woman with bagel crumbs falling from her mouth.

It was the director. "No pictures!" she barked, unglamorously.

This, even though:

(A) My ass had just been royally kissed at Jeffrey and Stella McCartney

(B) Kitty looked amazing and happens to be the newly crowned Miss'd America

Oh, well. Brian grabbed a shot of Kitty on the outside as we fled for our lives.

Did some ass just write "Drag queens steal" followed by "Their clients include Lindsay Lohan"? Do some shit-for--brains not realize how retarded they are?

And to think, before the likes of these rich phonies rotting sides of beef and pork were hanging from hooks in those same spaces. Oh well, it could happen again....

Pathetic. This area was ruled by drag queens not so long ago. I wish I weren't too old to see the Meatpacking District's collapse.

If Bloombucks, his friends in Washington and the Republighouls keep up their shenanigans it'll be back to what it was soon enough, though with a lot more beggars and far worse looking prostitutes than ever plied its streets in the past.

Kitty Hiccups is the cutest drag name like ever!

Drag and trans people are more disrespected and under threat than any other minority. Especially male to female. To flout gender, a boy acting/becoming female, threatens people like crazy! Not sure why. It seems so easy to accept, but that's me in my own little world I guess. I do tend to like to be in the gayest environments possible for work, entertainment, vacations, restaurants, etc. I don't get fag fatigue after a couple of weeks on Fire Island like some people complain about. In fact, I find it alarming when I get back to "reality."
