Arkansas City, Kansas mayor Mel Kuhn found himself amid a heap of controversy after dressing in drag and blackface at a fundraiser for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). Mel performed as the character “Smellishis Poon” and actually won the contest. His backup dancers were the “Red Hot Puntangs.”
He says he got the idea from the movies "Norbit" and "Big Momma's House," which feature black men portraying black women.
The mayor told a newspaper, The Arkansas Traveler, that he really wasn't in blackface. He says he looked more like a gypsy. A woman who saw the performance says Kuhn was "really just tan."
