Because pictures of Steve in a dress never get old.

Jul 18, 2009 23:22

So apparently, Steve's been into drag since the 1940's. I love how he appears to be totally convinced not only that he can pass as a woman, but that Bucky can pass as an eight year old. Also, Steve's relationship with Sergeant Duffy is comedy gold.

everyone in the Avengers is getting a pair of hand-knit socks from Steve.

Thank you for posting these! So much delight.

I can just imagine Clint's face. He wouldn't be sure whether to be disgusted or delighted.

Glad you enjoyed them! There needs to be more love for Golden Age comics; they're crack in the purest form.

It's... sort of telling how comfortable Cap is in those heels, isn't it? They look four inches at least! That takes practice.

And considering that Steve's at least six foot two in his bare feet, "Grandma Rogers" in her 3-4 inch heels would be absolutely gargantuan.

You have to wonder how many people did a double-take when they saw Steve & Bucky off in the distance and thought they were looking at a little old lady and a little boy, and then drew level with them to discover that they were actually a six-and-a-half-foot-tall old lady built like a football player and a fifteen-year-old boy unconvincingly wearing the kind of short-pants-and-sailor-suit ensemble little boys wore circa about 1890.

Well, Steve *was* hanging out with the artist's crowd in Greenwich Village during the '30's, which was when the Harlem Drag Balls were at their height...

(G) Well, there's no place like America, even if you're dressed like Glinda...

::snerk:: Too true.

Oh ho, saw the granny disguise before, but I didn't know about the can-can hohaiyee November 5 2009, 20:05:17 UTC

Okay, the disguise was like, For A Disguise...but can-can dancing for the troops?

:)

I wonder if there are
a)Pictures
b)Tony has them
c)Steve dances for Tony?

The entire thing gets even more awesome when you take into account the fact that Steve's 6'2" or 6'3" and built like a football linebacker. He would make an extremly unconvincing woman (on the other hand, he has very long legs, which is always a plus with the can-can. And he managed to pull off the granny disguise suprisingly well).

...unless, Amazons were in? (Other crossdressing cap, the time they faced a straw feminist supervillaintress)

I think he'll look great. I love the look of drag queens, like Spanish Techno...while the point is to look and act as much like a woman as much as possible, there always tells, other than the obvious Adam's Apples.

...but that's alright, stuff like can-can, looks GREAT with masculine legs.

A lot of it is totally in the mannerism, and ha, Steve can be rather granny like...
