In Videos: Drag Queen Robs Burger King

Posted by Adam Kuban, May 19, 2008 at 5:15 PM

It's a headline that writes itself. On May 11 in New Orleans, a man dressed in drag climbed through the drive-thru window of a Burger King with a gun and held up the store. "The burglar had a revealing bustline and a barrette in his hair as he demanded money and drove off into the night." I love how they analyze this tape and conclude that the thief is indeed a cross-dresser and not just wearing a disguise, "because his necklace matched the dress, his nails appeared to be painted, and the wig was not a dime-store wig." Says the expert analyst: "He was bein' pretty." The tale of the tape, after the jump.

I appreciate the analysis of what constitutes a cross-dresser vs someone wearing a disguise.

Is there any chance that this could be a Burger King viral video and underneath that silly outfit would be the King? If not, their agency, Crispin Porter, should have thought of it first.

No - probably not the King under the dress, but I bet there is a Whopper under there somewhere...

hahah agreed Alaina. I love when the cop says "she's pretty!" when pointing out the differences
