How to look "Absolutely Fabulous" in drag

Ab Fab
 
A lot of drag queens love Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone. And with the upcoming release of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie later this month, you know you'll be seeing doppelgangers of these hilarious best friends for months to come.
 
Jennifer Saunders, who plays Edina, admitted that initially it was a little disconcerting to see drag queens dressing like her character.
.
" … The first time we saw our drag doubles was startling!" she said. "Because you realize quite how small we are, and short and insignificant, when you’re standing next to your drag doubles. They’re more glamorous than we could even hope to be!"
 
She's used to it now, of course, but she does have advice for anyone hoping to capture her or Patsy's essence.
 
"Well, you know, the funny thing is, when they do Patsy they used to always do kind of trashy dressing," she explained. "But actually, I noticed (recently) at London Pride they were very well dressed. I think Patsy's are becoming better dressed, and that’s quite important for Patsy because you’ve gotta start off looking good, like you’ve got somewhere to go. Always give yourself somewhere to go.
 
"By the end of the night, you can be hopeless. I mean, literally. Spread eagle."
 
And what about pulling off a good Eddy?
 
"Wear shoes that literally hobble you and costumes that strangle you. Remember that Eddy has never woken and not been marked by her clothing; she’s always marked. Elasticated marks everywhere on her body from the clothes."
