Who Knew? The Lady Is a Dancin' Machine

Elaine Lancaster, the 6-ft. 2-in. drag queen who is the hostess of the club, says she approves of Reno's moves. "Tonight she looks great in black," she says of Reno's suit skirt. "It's all about fashion." Reno's younger sister Maggy Hurchalla is equally impressed. "She can make her feet move. I just pretend," she says. "Jeb can probably dance better than Janey and I can. He's conventional."

Conventional is what the four high school kids protesting outside the club want. One of them, Fred Moffat, 17, holds a sign that says, THAT'S NOT A WOMAN, IT'S A MAN, BABY! His friends are equally passionate in their anti-Reno sentiments, except possibly the one with a sign that says, HONK IF YOU LIKE COOKIES. "I've hated her ever since the Elian case," says Moffat, who skateboarded here. "But I think it's good she can poke fun at herself. The SNL thing was hilarious." Dancing, especially really bad dancing, really does bring the world together.
