After an epic final show in October 2007, the unabashedly naughty Sissyboy shock drag troupe called it quits, and the gentlemen all, literally, went their own ways. But the dream never died. Various related performance groups arose and the Sissyboys released an underground documentary film.

Homo’s Got Talent and we have the pictures to prove it

Homo's Got Talent winner achieved the spot with sweet snacks to the tune of "Do I Look Like a Slut?"

Dolly Parton covers for a cause

Dolly still looks fabu in her 60s…
