X-messAll Edna Jean Robinson wants for Christmas
are nice ’n’ naughty boobs
and a sickening holiday for the gayborhood’s students
Why does Edna Jean want
big boobs? To fill out a
sweater. Christmas is when we
don our gay apparel, and my
favorite Christmas sweater is
emblazoned with snowflakes,
ice-skating cats and jingle bells.
Anyone looking at me can tell
I’m a modern girl who likes to
flirt. And a really nice pair of
boobs would help me really
shimmy those jingle bells.
What Christmas presents
does Edna Jean like to give?
Handmade gifts are the best.
For the asthmatics on my list, I’m
crocheting two-toned cozies that
fit snuggly around an Albuterol
inhaler. I’m also crafting glitter-and-
styrofoam poinsettia corsages and
matching hairpins.
What’s a good dish to bring
to your boyfriend’s house for
Christmas Eve dinner? I hope to
have a boyfriend one day.
What’s Edna Jean’s rules on
holiday decor? More is never
enough — especially if it blinks,
inflates or sparkles.
But Christmas is all about going
overboard on mistletoe so I can
line up all the boys for some
gnarly tongue-hockey action.
Tell me about your holiday
fundraiser? Seventeen years
ago, I threw my first “Trailer
Park Christmas Show” to raise
money for needy queers — like
AIDS Resource Center clients.
This year, I’m helping the
little rugrats enrolled at Sam
Houston Elementary School on
Throckmorton Street.
Edna Jean will perform “Boobs
for Christmas.” And in years
past, Edna has shared the
stage with sexy queens looking
like Mrs. Claus and little
hardbody elves dressed in furry
red-and-white undies.
Everyone buys raffle tickets.
Then Edna hosts a “Let’s Make
a Deal.” All the prizes are
wrapped. You can trade your
prize for another unwrapped
goodie — but you never know
what you’ll get.
Some win a $150 American
Express cash card. Some walk
away with a pair of tickets for
the Dallas Stars. Sometimes
it’s stuffed toy with The Grinch
riding on a a sleigh. And
sometimes it’s a gift-wrapped
gallon-sized can of creamed
corn.
The best part is that Edna Jean
sometimes raises $3,500 in one
night.
IF YOU WERE A TREE,
WHAT KIND OF TREE ...?
Edna Jean wants y’all to check
out “Boobs for Christmas,” her
holiday carol and YouTube
video about an A-cup gal who
asks Saint Nick for something
as fake as a silver tree
illuminated by a color wheel.

E
very Yuletide season, trailer park
goddess Edna Jean Robinson (aka
drag artist Richard D. Curtin)
bestows Big D with two flashy holiday
traditions: Her December fundraiser
that helps the North Pole deliver badass
presents to Oak Lawn’s schoolkids; And
“Boobs for Christmas,” her bodacious
carol about a girl with curves in all the
wrong places.
Evoke magazine recently consulted with
Edna Jean about her fetish for handmade
gifts and asking Santa for something
especially nippily.
