10 Cross-Dressing Disguises That Shouldn't Have Fooled Anyone

By Johnny Cat in Fashion, Movies & SciFi on Nov 16, 2009 at 4:38 pm


the-kids-in-the-hall_lThe Kids In The Hall were probably most successful at pulling off the female disguise, although they weren’t trying to fool anyone.  Their skits occasionally needed women characters, and their delivery was a perfect blend of self-awareness and application.

Many times in movies and other forms of entertainment, the contriving plot demands someone dress like a woman and fool other people, ostensibly people who aren’t blind.  OMG Lists compiled ten of the worst offenders, from White Chicks to Bosom Buddies.  It’s a pretty accurate list, despite my affection for Tootsie.

    I don't think the lister even watched Tootsie. Didn't get any of his "facts" right.

    The two 'Cathys' always cracked me up. I miss these guys.

    Agree with Charles. Frankly, the list is pretty offensive. It's basically saying that no woman could possibly look masculine, and if they do then we should assume they're... not actually women. Lovely message, that.

    Bad to say but Defoe was the only one who could pass as a woman. Ugly, but passable.:p

    Sure a woman could look masculine. These are just the blatantly worst attempts. Too Wong Foo, anyone? Priscilla, Queen of the Desert? Not on the list for a reason.

    And I agree the author has probably only watched Tootsie in passing, shame.

    That guy in The Crying Game was pretty good.

    i can't believe the list didn't have "to wong fu, thanks for all the memoires..."

    also yes, the list is horrible offensive or oddly sarcastic

    and yes...we all miss the kids in the hall.

    "Back before Tom Hanks was handed trophies for talking to volleyballs..."

    Wow, what idiot actually wrote this? Hanks didn't win for Castaway. Mea Culpa.

    Where's Monty Python?

    Dave Foley always made a pretty woman. He looked kind of like Isabella Rossellini. I thought of Monty Python too, Sue!
