Having watched the 1960 TV production of Peter Pan — with its blonde, blue-eyed "Indian Princess" Tiger Lily — a Native American drag clown reflects on experiencing their heritage through White normative culture. You can bet that "Half Breed" will be performed.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Half Breed (a fairly disgusting cocktail — but it would be a fairly disgusting song if Cher weren't such a camp goddess with her heart in the obviously right place): pour 1/2 oz. white Rum into a shot glass. Float 1/2 oz. Peppermint Schnapps on top. Look out!
