Teneka and I went to Connecticut on Sunday. There was a drag show (A Monarch's Ball) in hartford, and we picked up Jeremy on the way down, then dropped him off and then had lunch with my mom before heading back over to the ball. Of course there was a parade in Hartford, and things were blocked off so we couldn't get to where we needed to be, and we kept asking for directions, and the 4th time we finally asked a cop and he started giving us directions, and I said "And thats not blocked off right now, is it?" and he said "oh yeah, actually, you can't drive down asylum ave right now....". Hey, thanks! Ugh. So we dropped Jeremy at the train station and he walked (it's only a couple of blocks- for those of you in CT, the goodwin is right next to the civic center)
Teneka and i had lunch with mom at the Macaroni Grill because I LOVE that place! Then went back to the hotel, and had NO problems getting there, since the parade was gone. Strapped down our chests (obviously mine was harder to get down) and put on our tuxes, I gelled my hair back, and we were good to go.
The ball was fun, it was nice to see everyone from the CT Court. We took a LOT of pictures, but mostly on Jeremy's camera, and mine are on film, so who knows when i'll see those. The show was high energy, which is always the best. Teneka has been to more events in CT than I have, so she knows them better than I do, but it was nice to get a chance to see them anyway; they're such nice people, and i love getting to visit with them.
Someone started asking me (one of the gay boys) if it hurt to bind, and I said yes, and he asked how big my chest was, and I said DD/E, and he looked at me like I was crazy. I said "Didn't you see me walk in? I was wearing a pushup bra!" He didn't, but he was amazed I could get those things down. (Hey, I am too!) Then when I was de-dragging Teneka helped me get all my binding off and i put my pushup bra back on and one of the half de-dragged queens very loudly asked me "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU HIDE THOSE!?!" I said the same place her boobs came out of- my arm pits!
(Celeste always says thats the difference between kings and queens- kings put their boobs into their armpits, queens pull boobs out of their armpits)
I wanted to change from boy underwear back into girl underwear to fit into my tight jeans again, and there was a closet there, and Jeremy said "Just change in the closet, i'll make sure no one comes in!" Well, I had JUST gotten my girl underwear on when someone opened the door to get clothing off the back of the door. I knew he'd have a heart attack if he turned around and saw me, so I tried to say "Don't freak out" in a really gentle voice. Scared the hell out of him anyway. Plus, I'm standing there in my panties. Good job, Jeremy!
We left the hotel and went to the Olive Garden to see if Sarah was working. I got 1/2 way to the door and some girl sticks her head out and yells "We're closed" in the snottiest tone EVER! I said "Is Sarah working?" and she said "no" in the same voice. Who knows where Sarah actually was, I don't have her number anymore apparently. So we didn't get to see her, which is too bad, because I really wanted her to meet Teneka.
Then we headed home. We talked about a theme for my drag show, but no ideas. We stopped in Northampton so I could pee (next to divas) and then I fell asleep. The next thing I remember is being next to Shookas and realizing i'd been sleeping with my mouth wide open the entire time. Yuck.
It was a good weekend though!
