Scissor-wielding "Radioactive Barbie," clad in a fetching pink dress and toxic-green wig, is politely accosting everyone in the bar and asking that all drinkers snip off a wad of his locks—to generate more grass for the Easter Bonnet contest backdrop. Not exactly standard activity for the English country pub evoked by its name, but otherwise Fox & Hounds is actually a fairly low-key gay joint that serves cheap 'n' hearty Sunday brunch and retains a healthy Old Town charm. It's more friendly dive diner than Silverado-esque meat market, but for the touch of drag and solitary female patron carrying on about strap-ons.
