    I think the term is drag king.

    Wearing men's clothing, shoes etc.

    Done. never again.

    It would be more like a Drag King. Not as flashy, I'm assuming.

    Drag Kings.

    And I've seen some downright impressive Drag Kings.

    I didn't know they were female underneath their clothing.

    1) Although a drag queen is usually a man, it is not a prerequisite: "Generally, drag queens dress in a female gender role, often exaggerating certain characteristics(such as make-up and eyelashes) for comic, dramatic or satirical effect." This role could also be taken by a woman, theoretically.

    An analogous to a drag queen, which is usually performed by women, is a drag king.


    2) "A drag queen is a person, usually a man, who dresses, and usually acts, like a woman often for the purpose of entertaining or performing. There are many kinds of drag artists and they vary greatly from professionals who have starred in movies to people who just try it once. Drag queens also vary by class and culture and can vary even within the same city. Although many drag queens are presumed to be gay men or transgender people, there are drag artists of all genders and sexualities who do drag for various reasons.
    Generally, drag queens dress in a female gender role, often exaggerating certain characteristics(such as make-up and eyelashes) for comic, dramatic or satirical effect. Other drag performers include drag kings, who are women who perform in male roles, faux queens, who are women who dress in an exaggerated style to emulate drag queens and faux kings, who are men who dress to impersonate drag kings."

    3) "Drag kings are mostly female performance artists who dress in masculine drag and personify male gender stereotypes as part of their performance. A typical drag king routine may incorporate dancing and singing or lip-synching. Drag kings often perform as exaggeratedly macho male characters or impersonate male celebrities like Elvis Presley or Tim McGraw. Some drag kings also disguise themselves as boy bands including, Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, 98 Degrees, 3Deep, and Boyz II Men. Several drag kings became British music hall stars in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and British pantomime has preserved the tradition of women performing in male roles. Starting in the mid 90s drag kings have begun to gain some of the fame and attention that drag queens have known for years."
