Transvestites attack?
Turns out that, yeah, in this post-Katrina environment even cross dressing divas are feeling the pinch. Turns out there’s more than one gang- who’d've guessed? One is running amok on Magazine Street, and the magazine story chronicles another group who’ve been sneaking into retirement homes and stealing from the elderly & employees.
Speaking as someone who deals with many a member of “alternative lifestyles” in my business, I’m shocked. Honestly, I suppose it’s a diversion- if you get someone looking at your bared midriff and day-glo wig, they might be shocked enough that you’ll get away with lifting merch from the store, but boy, it really makes it easy to spot you coming down the street, no?
This link’s a little old, but according to people in the know on Magazine, the girls are still out there, making a run on the stores periodically.
The best quote: “They’re fearless,†said Ogle. “Once they see something they like they won’t stop until they have it. They don’t care, they’ll go to jail. It’s really gotten bad.”
