My First Drag Show

I had quite a weekend!  First the YES concert then tonight I saw my first Drag Show entitled Size Doesn't Matter with a picture of a banana on the front of the program.  It was a charity event put on by the Monday Night Bowling League to benefit Boston Living Center and Community Servings.  Boston Living Center helps out those who have HIV/AIDs.  Community Servings serves meals to people who are home-bound due to illness, originally AIDS, but has expanded to other illnesses.  There was a raffle and a silent auction as well as a couple of hours worth of performances.  It took place at Machine Nightclub in Boston on Boylston Street.

My friend, we'll call him by his stage name, Shawompa, performed two numbers. Get the Party Started, not the P!nk version but by Shelley something-or-other, and Proud Mary by Tina Turner.  She was fabulous!  How she can dance in those heels is beyond me.  The dresses were perfect, the wigs were perfect.  I'm just gobsmacked how good Shawompa was.

I loved the red tassel dress for the first number.  With the gloves and the mask...  What a way to open the show!  And that hair!  How did it stay on?!  I had a dazzling evening and am so proud of my friend who has severe stage fright.  I could never do that, perform in front of all those people much less in drag!
