Went out last night to donate to Gay Pride Week and see some folks. Mostly I was there to promote our show. Jesse has his own business to take care and Scott had to work.
I will get to the videos. First let me give you a peek behind the curtain.
What it takes to put on a drag show. More specifically a drag performance.
1) It starts with getting a booking. If you are a wanna-be female impersonator there are numerous shows that take inexperienced talent.
2) Once you have a booking you need basic equipment. Just from first look there are obvious differences between a male and female body. Titties and hips, to be specific. God bless poly-styrene foam. Make-up, lashes, and spray glitter. Cans upon cans of spray glitter. My bedroom looks like Mariah Carey vomited in here.
3) Then you have to put together numbers. Inspiration is a funny thing. Sometimes a number is centered around an outfit. At other times it is a song. Regardless the number has to be complete. The dress, shoes, hair, and accessories MUST match the song. Otherwise you have a mess on your hands and nobody will give you any money.
This takes a lot of work. Which is why I only do shows once a month or so. Someday I may be kind enough to let some wanna be documentarian in on the whole process form beginning to end. Until then.......
Let's get on with the shoe
I hate to make Aretha jerk the curtain but it's my show.
A little GLC for your MUG
When I heard this version of this particular song, I smiled. It's not their cover of Gin and Juice but it is still awesome.
Always leave them wanting more. Somebody asked me where I keep coming up with these. My answer....you really don't want to know.
Still have to pack the car and shave. Maybe I'll find time for a nap after lunch.
Kisses
Dan
