Drag kings are mostly female performance artists who dress in masculine drag and personify male gender stereotypes as part of an individual or group routine. They may be heterosexual, lesbian, transgender, genderqueer, or otherwise part of the LGBT community. A typical drag show may incorporate dancing, acting, stand-up comedy and singing, either live or lip-synching to pre-recorded tracks. Drag kings often perform as exaggeratedly macho male characters, portray marginalized masculinities such as construction workers, rappers, or they will impersonate male celebrities like Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Tim McGraw.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, several drag kings became British music hall stars, and British pantomime has preserved the tradition of women performing in male roles. Starting in the mid-1990s, drag kings started to gain some of the fame and attention that drag queens have known.
While the term drag king was first cited in print in 1972, there is a longer history of female performers dressing in male attire. In theatre and opera there was a tradition of breeches roles and en travesti. Actress and playwright Susanna Centlivre appeared in breeches roles around 1700. The first popular male impersonator in U.S. theater was Annie Hindle, who started performing in New York in 1867; in 1886 she married her dresser, Annie Ryan. British music hall performer Vesta Tilley was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a male impersonator. Other male impersonators on the British stage were Ella Shields and Hetty King. Blues singer Gladys Bentley performed in male attire in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco from the 1920s through 1940s.Stormé DeLarverie performed in male drag along with female impersonators at the Jewel Box Revue in the 1950s and 1960s, as documented in the film Storme: The Lady of the Jewel Box; DeLarverie was also a veteran of the Stonewall riots.
Trecho de um capítulo da primeira semana da novela "O Bem Amado" (1973 / Globo), de Dias Gomes. Na pacata cidade de Sucupira, nada acontece.

Nesta cena vemos também o fácil trabalho da delegada Donana Medrado (Zilka Salaberry). E também en cena, a atriz Dilma Lóes, interpretando Anita. Que futuramente viria a fazer par romântico com Dolabella.

Video sobre o racismo no Brasil, dirigido por Dilma Lóes, realizado em 1988, no Rio de Janeiro. Roteiro premiado pela Fundação Ford e Medalha de Bronze no International Film & TV Festival of New York-1989, finalista no Festival de vídeo de Dortmund, Alemanha e vencedor da Jornada de curta metragem de Salvador. O filme aborda o racismo no Brasil e a exclusão de toda uma população, através de um racismo velado onde não se vê a presença de pessoas negras em diversos setores da sociedade, como também na tv, comerciais, etc. O difícil combate ao racismo num país que vende para o mundo a imagem mentirosa de ser o único país onde não não existe o racismo. País este com um dos maiores índices de assassinatos de pessoas negras. Entrevistas intercaladas com cenas de ficção.
