What a perfect way to set my 9 birthday parties off to a good start! Though let me tell you this was no 2 hour night!
The place was packed! We got there early enough to grab a few tables and chairs but we had to fight for them and still some of my friends didn’t get a chair. It was so great to share the wonderful drag talent we have in Edmonton with my friends (including my favorite performer Bianca in the photo above).
In total there were 13 of us at the start of the night, everyone really enjoyed the Drag Show. My favorite performances of the night were:
- Ivona Diamond (Miss Merry Christmas) singing Lynn Anderson’s “Rose Garden”. I love that song!
- Vanity Fair did Dolly Parton’s 7 min 35 second white label mix of “Nine to Five” and brought down the house and her skirt with a wardrobe malfunction
- Ivona Diamond and Leah Way did “Sisters” from my favorite Christmas movie “White Christmas”. Their feather covered umbrellas really made the number
- Bianca did a great Diana Ross doing a remix of “Love Child”. My friends were quite impressed with not only Bianca but her amazing Silver Shimmer Dress
Then after the show 9 of the original 13 went to another bar where unknown to us a 2nd Drag Show was just starting. Including a few performers from the previous bar LOL. We danced all night long after that show finished until they turned on the “ugly lights” at 2:30 am. Then we went in search of food and ended up with 5 of us eating nachos with pickles back at a friend’s apartment.
The whole night ended sometime after 4 am, luckily this was least tame out of all the parties and today is the only day this week without a party so I can recover. I am really looking forward to the rest of the parties this week especially some of the sit down dinners!
I leave you with controversial photo of Leah Way wishing me a happy birthday! LOL You never know what to expect from a Drag queen!
