To the tune of Petula Clark's "Downtown," a tiny Rover 200 pulls up to the front of a drag club, Madame JoJo's in London's Soho. Out pops a tall, transgendered woman and another woman, both wearing miniskirts and matching navel pearl jewelery.

They bounce past the tuxedoed doorman and into the club without a care.

"Pearly Queens" are Cockney cultural relics -- they wear faux-pearl encrusted outfits.
