I know many of my posts start with “I’ve never seen this before,” and here I go again: A drag queen got on the northbound 8:22 at 125th last night! (S)he was ginormous–around 6′ 5″, with some huge heels as well, putting her pretty darn close to 7-feet. (S)he was black and wore a brown wig, black and white leopard print coat lined with fake fur, and a fishnet crop top with a giant belly exposed. She carried two bags from the bodega.
In fact, in contrast to most drag queens I’ve seen (I did, after all, live a few blocks from Lucky Cheng’s for over a decade), (s)he wasn’t the slightest bit attractive.
Far as I can tell, this sort of stuff rarely happens on Metro North. Especially on a northbound; think about it–where the hell was she going? White Plains is the most urban–and presumably most urbane–stop on the line. And White is really the operative word there. Was (s)he antiquing in Chappaqua?
It was interesting to see the reactions of the hardcore commuters. As the drag queen found a seat, a man across the aisle (literally and probably metaphorically as well) got to his feet and walked to another car entirely. Others periodically looked up from their papers and electronic devices.
The drag queen stared out the window, applied makeup and brushed his hair. Oddly, White Plains came and went and the drag queen stayed on.
Maybe she was going antiquing in Chappaqua.
Not so rare… I have seen a drag queen fitting the same description on the New Haven line pretty regularly on the weekends. I think she comes from Bridgeport. I absolutely adore her. She makes no effort whatsoever to deny her manliness, yet rocks out the leopard and hot pink with more confidence than any Hermes-clad Greenwich commuter. Yes, we do have drag queens out in the ‘burbs. And, they’re not all quite as un-lady like as our train buddy. In fact, I’ve seen hotter drag queens in Stamford, CT than I’ve ever seen at Lucky Chengs… Yikes! that place smells like cat vomit!
i’ve seen her before on that line – she actually gets off at croton falls, a ridiculously small town. i have no idea where she goes when she gets there – a friend’s house? it’s not like there are any drag venues in putnam county…
ive seen her before, gettin in at bg and gettin off at like bronxville,
especially on latenight trains things get a little more interesting
and, neither white nor plains are the operator words in describing the city, neither are terrible descriptive of the city on the whole.
and there are more urban stops on the Harlem line in westchester, specifically mt vernon.

Sounds like you all have met Rocky!! He (or she, however you think of it!!), is a regular on the Harlem and New Haven lines. He once saved a trainman (assistant conductor) from being beaten by an irate customer several years ago on the Harlem line. Believe me from as I understood it, that guy owed Rocky big time!!!
I love to see..or meet this giant drag queen! Any idea as to exactly the time
I could find her in New Haven?
Love to hire her for a party Im having soon! Thanks~~~
