Margo, Key West's oldest drag queen, isn't as old as she looks
She can't wear heels anymore and needs a magnifying glass to put on makeup. Her dentures pinch her gums, so she wears only the upper plate, except when she's out at night. Stairs kill her knees. As for dancing, forget it. Old age is starting to get to the oldest working drag queen in Key West, Florida. Margo was born David Felstein 67 years ago this month, making her twice as old as many drag queens but not nearly as old as most people think. Her habits - half a century of smoking, tri-weekly visits to the tanning salon and a lifelong aversion to eating - have taken a toll. A recent rumor put her at 86.
