The Legenderry Boy in a Dress

Brian from Derry in Northern Ireland finally found the courage to live openly as a transvestite in California, and found happiness with his wife Debbie from Kentucky.

Brian McCloskey from Derry finally found the courage to live openly as a transvestite, a lifelong dream, when he moved to Santa Monica.
A man of many talents, Brian is a musician, blogger and runs a popular online archive of Smash Hits magazine 鈥 but he admits his first love is probably women鈥檚 clothing, especially tights.
He always knew he wanted to wear women鈥檚 clothes, even as a teenage boy growing up in Derry - but it took a move to California before he finally decided to do it. He met his wife Debbie online and they bonded over a shared love of blogging and the cult classic movie The Big Lebowski. Brian has more dresses and tights than Debbie does and she doesn鈥檛 mind at all 鈥淚t鈥檚 not the wrapping鈥 she says 鈥渋t鈥檚 the present inside鈥.
In this documentary, Brian and his wife Debbie discuss their life together, including an appearance on the Ricki Lake show and why the only guest at their wedding was an actor from The Big Lebowski.
Presented by Marie-Louise Muir and produced by Conor McKay
