Drag Show at a Comedy Club
Ended up drinking my good old Jack and Coke and catching a drag show in Santa Rosa last night. We went to the comedy bar but had no idea the show was coming on. It was a neat surprise.
I couldn't understand too much of the show, since I really don't understand Tagalog all that much. But I could get the physical comedy, the American cover songs they sang, and besides I do know the 'bad' words. There were the requisite phallic microphone jokes and bitch slappings that I could appreciate.
The two shortest guys could really sing, boy! The shorty with the long hair and blonde highlights on the far right could sing like Taylor Dayne. The other shorty with the pink dress and hair in a bun sang like Madonna or a girl from SWV. They seemed the most feminine.
The other two, the tallest ones, really played up their masculinity however. The one in blue had really HAIRY armpits. The big one in the foreground of the first picture dressed in pink, took the cake with the strangest juxtaposition ever: He had a costume change where he dressed all in black; a tight tank, tight daisy dukes, and black stilettos all under a very sheer black skirt. But what made it most surreal was that dressed thusly, he began to serenade us in Louis Armstrong's very deep gravelly voice with a rendition of "What a Wonderful World"!
