I have been gone all but one day and already I want to be back. The lights, the sounds, the people, they make me feel at home. I had such an amazing experience and the PiC did as well. I will do my best to recreate all the fabulousness for you all but it will be hard to remember everything and to put it into words.
So we arrive crazy late Friday, actually Saturday morn and it was snowing!! We’ve been told here in DC to forget about snow for Christmas so that felt like a gift unto itself. Max the Magician was kind enough not only to open his home to us but to also pick us up, thank goodness. It was craziness trying to just figure out where we were, lol. We get to the apartment and promptly crash and burn. It was nice.
The next morn we got up and I was super excited because the PiC was finally going to get to meet one of my super idols, World Famous *Bob*! She had invited us over for brunch so we went and she made this amazing Mexican egg dish thingy that was to die for. Moviestar was as loving as ever and remembered me which of course felt good and fell instantaneously in love with PiC, go figure. We talked and played with the poodle noodle and just had a relaxing morning until it was time to leave and then we went back to the apartment to prepare for the evening of debauchery. We were going to try and fit as many shows as possible into one night, I mean, when in NY for a weekend you got to make it worthwhile!
So we primp and prep and head down to the Slipper Room to celebrate three years of Dr. Sketchy’s. We saw Molly Crabapple there who was just as lovely as I remembered her. I also saw my dear friend Fem Appeal who is so professional and funny and gorgeous, and booked me in her show 
I also met Nic Sin who is better known as the Mini Marylin Manson. I bet he hates this term, most men do, but he was a cutey. I got to say, not a bad looking man. Not switching teams anytime soon but a girl can still appreciate. I also ran into Perle Noir who I was to be performing with the next day. She’s also from New Orleans so I felt a kinship to her from that, stunning lady.
From the Slipper Room we skirted off to Union Hall to catch two shows in one! First we saw a fabulous recreation of a classic christmas story, “How the Pinch stole X-mas”. I must tell you, I liked it better than the original. Johnny was so fun to watch acting it up and Nasty Canasta was her usual saucy sexy self. My favorite honeys were there, Gigi La Femme and anita Cookie. Gigi made the PiC’s christmas by performing her favorite routine that I don’t perform, her spanking number, it’s goooood. Anita was as cute as a latke and I adore her even more so now. Tigger was also in the first show and I have to say, photos don’t do this man justice. You can’t even begin to capture his energy and sincerity in those photos but I have to say I fell in love. Tigger, you are in my heart forever now and I can only hope I am ever so blessed to perform with you some day, I wish upon a star for that. Clams Casino also did her oh too cute irish christmas jig which meant we got to hang with Neil O’Fortune in the audience, yay! There I also met Allen the photographer who had amazing pics from their christmas the year before. After that show ws over there was another one this time including Sapphire Jones. What a tall glass of water that one is! I never feel short but this girl had legs upon legs! A fun show that was too! Doc was accommodating and sweet like he always is and I hope he knows I would help then out in any way I could think to. It was a great place to see some fabulous performances by some performers I like to consider friends.
Then we rushed off to catch BadAss! at the Bowery Poetry Club, told you we went everywhere! The band Trauma Team was already playing when we got there but we were able to catch their song Toxic Shock Syndrome, a new favorite me thinks. I fell in love with the concept of the show and truly hope that I can work something out to perform in it someday. IT’s burlesque pushed ot the edge, not your pretty soft burlesque but your in your face, make you a little uncomfortable and like it burlesque. It started off with this beautiful song being sung by Melody Sweets that ended up with a corseted blindfolded Stormy Leather underneath her skirt, hot! Fifi Dupree performed as the cutest vomiting devil I’ve ever seen, lol. Ferro a gorgeous hula hooper was an eye pleaser, as was *Bob* tribute to Bettie Page. Tigger performed the same routine but to metal and sans bottoms, amazing! Whenever I need a laugh in a politicall incorrect way I’ll just think cripple dance. Velocity Chyld and Nik Sin both showed movies they created, both amazing in their own different ways. Nik’s was shot by Val Kilmer and was about a disgruntled elf and Velocity’s was a music video shot with her band Vulgarus. Wow. My favorites of the night had to be Darlinda just Darlinda’s Mary/ Jesus, number and Julie Atlas Muz’s performance piece. Both, very different but awe inspiring in their own rights. I was so inundated by talent that I was in talent shock. Of course there were performers in the audience as well, my lovah, Weirdee girl was there as was the sexy bitch Aurora Boobrealis. I also met the photographer Ed Barnas which was neat! We didn’t get home till at least 3 or 4 and I don’t think I fell asleep till well after 5 just being hopped up on inspiration.
The next morn weall piled in Max’s car once more and went to SxyB for brunch. We were met up by Weirdee Girl and Menace. I love that dude. He’s so laid back and a perfect compliment to Weirdee Girl, much like I feel about my PiC. We ate deliciousness and talked about all sorts of nonsense. We then headed back to the apartment so I could rehearse and get everything together. I knew I wouldn’t know if I was to be barefoot or not till I got to the venue, the Bar on A, so I rehearsed both ways. We left early which was ok cause I got ot get ready there. Fem was already there and prepared, we hung out, Weirdee showed up and we goofed off then everyone else showed. Fifi, Stormy, Perle and our hostess with the incredible mostess, Shelly the singing siren. What a woman! The show went without a hitch. This also thanks to LaMona our pick up and Philly caramel our door gal. I was really well received. They loved the cookies. Shelly was too great a host. The audience was awesome. Aurora was there, as was RunAround Sue, Plum and Della Dare. There were a few other girls but their names are escaping me, I’m sorry!!! Tina, a family friend also made though she did miss my routine, it was still awesome to see her. There was talk of going to an afterparty but we ended up just staying at the bar having a blast. Weirdee Girl and I were like two little high schoolers which is fun in and of itself. Well high schoolers in their parent’s liquor cabinet, lol. Another night in which we did not get home till probably around 3.
Monday was spent in the Garment District. I was so overwhelmed by everything they had and wanted to buy it all up! I did get quite a bit but held onto a little bit of cash so I could get the items to attach all the doodads to! I am too excited to get creating which I will probably do tonight since I have another show at the end of the week. Yes, that right, I perform in NY just to come home and perform in DC. Saturday I will be at my home of Palace of Wonders performing in the Rockabilly Creature Feature with the adorable Lizzie Furr. Expect 3 routines from each of us and the amazing men of Brokedown Playboys. They will get you worked into a frenzy I tell ya!
So come out, it will be good after Christmas fun!
Here’s a pic of the silliness that is Weirdee Girl and I.
And here’s the info for the show on Saturday!
Huggles and Kisses and many merry wishes!
