Klub Monokel je 6. decembra 2002 v okviru spremljevalnega programa
19. gejevskega in lezbičnega filmskega festivala, organiziral drag king
workshop oziroma delavnico kraljev preobleke. Vodila jo je švedska psihologinja
in aktivistka Indra Windh, v pomoč pa ji je bil ameriško-angleški fotograf
Del LaGrace Volcano. Postati ali biti kralj preobleke pomeni, da si
kot ženska nadenete moško obleko, pa tudi vlogo, tako rekoč prisvojite
si moški karakter. Na delavnici Windhove se vse začne tako, da stopite
v "tuje" - moške čevlje, ki se vam v nekem trenutku zazdijo
najbolj domači. In čevljem pustite hoditi, stati, govoriti, se oblačiti
… pustite jim, da vas vodijo, dokler vam v nekem trenutku ne dajo še
moškega imena, poklica, da, celo preteklosti. Tako so se na fotografijah
ovekovečili fantje iz bivših republik Slovenije, Hrvaške, Srbije pa
tudi od drugod: Dušan - trgovec na drobno, Gospod Jože - vodja gradbišča,
Kosta - ruski mornar, Le/On - zapravljivec časa in ženskar, Ante - Brodogradilište
Split, Filipovič - zafrustriran in reven računovodja, Frank Hutchkinson
- angleški antropolog, Antonio - izkušeni ljubitelj žensk, Čarli, Joe,
