Last Saturday at
T.R.A.C.S. I want to say thanks to all the guests for all the work they took to
feminizing there male avatar and the female avatar to look as a male. None of
the guest just changed their gender.
Thank you so much. It means so much for me.

One of the trivia questions was who played
the role of Edna Turnblad, Tracy's mother and agent in the 2007 movie Hairspray.
It was John Travolta.
Travolta's casting as Edna continues the
tradition of having a man in drag portray the character, going back to the
original 1988 film, which featured drag queen Divine as Edna and at Hairspray's
Broadway version, which featured Harvey Fierstein as Edna. Executives at New
Line Cinema originally expected the part to be filled by an actor accustomed to
playing comic roles, tossing around names such as Robin Williams, Steve Martin,
and Tom Hanks. However, Travolta was aggressively sought after by producers
Craig Zadan and Neil Meron for this role because he had starred as Danny Zuko
in Grease, the second most successful movie musical to date, beaten only by
Mamma Mia!.
