Let´s celebrate men in dresses
Penthesilea:
Yet another take on men in dresses:
Männerballett
(Mens' Ballett)
Männerballett is a very old and very typical part of carnival in Germany. Nobody knows the exact origins, but it dates as least as far back as 1648.
It can be camp, it can be artsy, it can be frivolous (think The Full Monty), it can be out-and-out funny. Most balletts emphasize on the fun part, but some take great pride in the precision of their dancing performance and work really hard. There's even a national association for it, and national championships.
Penthesilea:
Apart from performers, men wearing womens's clothes are common on carnival. No carnival party without guys in dresses, no carnival parade without male spectators dressed up in female attire.
No, it's not CSD, it's carnival. :)

I posted a pic of Marc Jacobs earlier. He has experimented a lot with dresses for men

Noxeema Jackson: When a straight man puts on a dress and gets his sexual kicks, he is a transvestite. When a man is a woman trapped in a man's body and has a little operation he is a transsexual. When a gay man has way too much fashion sense for one gender he is a drag queen.
