Female troubles may happen to everyone. Ever thought of how drag queens deal with everyday life? Madame La Kukuruku says it best: only a man knows how hard is to be a real woman! The real suffering is when you cut while shaving and you're more concerned about your make-up flowing down rather than your open wound!

Your task was to draw or paint (digitally or traditionally) my beautiful model Madame La Kukuruku in normal, everyday places or situations (like waiting for a bus, shopping, setting a tv antenna, drinking gallons of alcohol, or even taking a dump).

THE DEADLINE IS MARCH 8, 2008 (which is International Women's Day)

After this date I will set up an open voting for everyone (you'll be informed via DeviantArt news) and you'll choose the winners.

A tip: Remember that you are drawing a drag queen, so she shouldn't be too feminine or too masculine. Try to find a good synthesis of both, to catch the androgyny with a bit of grotesque feel to it.



Some (un)useful facts about Madame La Kukuruku:

Real name: Filip

Residence: Szczecin, Poland

Origin: Filip comes from a little village called Udders which is located near Szczecin. He's very ashamed of his primitive roots and moving to Szczecin was his way of achieving a brand new (but not so happy) life.

Occupation: He/She is a full-time transvestite and occasionally a live-singing drag queen.

Friends: Other "Bitter Glitter" models ( [link] )

Heroes: Divine, Madonna, Lady Bunny, Dee D. Jackson and Sally Spectra.

I you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Note:
Bitter Glitter is a name for a group of Bullsik's fictional, non-existing models (or characters, as some would say). He invents them out of lack of the real ones. Therefore, Madame La Kukuruku is a pure fiction and so is her story and a place of her origin.
