Gone Bamboo

"You sure you like this color? I think it makes me look fat. I look fat to you?"

"You look radiant," said Henry.

I think that this is a hilarious quote.


The man asking if he looks fat, weighs about 320 pounds, and was wearing a turquoise dress, whit knee socks, saddle shoes, and face powder. To add to this "interesting situation" he is a transvestite mobster, head of the mob to be exact.

My question is, does anyone in the opposing mob see him in dress? And also, does his cross dressing come into play at a later time in this book? Because I love me some transvestites, I'd love to do their makeup, FABULOUS!
