i am a SUCKER for cartoons (particularly Powerpuff Girls, South Park, Family Guy, Shirt Tales, and Jem and the Holograms) and watch them often. i was channel flipping the other day (when i should have been working – sshhh don’t tell) when i came across the most FLAWLESS episode of The Powerpuff Girls – A Made Up Story – in which Buttercup (my fav PPG of all time) became a dragged out victim of Masked-Scara.

D.Y.I.N.G!
 
Buttercup in drag?!?!? What an AMAZING FIND! (You can stream the episode here, totally worth 21 minutes of your time because the whole town – including the Professor – end up in drag! 🙂 )

This episode immediately sent me into an internet talespin Googling all the cartoon characters that have donned drag. And there are waaaaaay more than i originally imagined so i thought it would be FUN to share my findings with you (because i don’t want you to fall down the same rabbit hole and spend an entire day Googling “cartoon characters in drag” when you should be working. You’re welcome).
 
Drag has a huge history in animation which further proves that it has been in our pop culture consciousness for quite some time.  So without further ado, here, in one fabulous gender-bending post, are my favorite cartoon drag moments. Grab your Lucky Charms and enjoy! (Oh, and i’m sorry that some of the photos are small, but they were the only ones i could find :))
 

Alvin, Simon and Theodore

Love, light + lashes,

P.S. Looking for more things drag? i’ve got you covered! i’ve written an ENTIRE book about how to start off as a drag artist. While it’s geared towards female drag queens, the insights and advice i offer go far beyond gender — meaning it’s great for kings, queens, and everyone in-between looking to start out in drag too!!
