9:52p - Queer Ball and Drag Show
It's hard to do drag when you're an androgyne.
tuppem, I didn't see you or I would have said hi. The rest of you, dear readers (all two), missed a great show. Two people put on a great send-up of a scene from Rent, and a group of four did a Moulin Rouge-themed routine. Mine was relatively short, but I did clips from three songs-- Just A Girl, Androgyny, and Wild Boys. I don't dance well, so I opted for the performance-art style. When the music started, I had a friend dressed as a gay makeup artiste trying to apply lipstick to me while I sat bound with a pink scarf in a chair. I had a violently purple wig on and my back was to the audience, so they couldn't see I had a fake goatee. Androgyny came on and I turned around and danced around a little, then stripped the wig and dress off-- I was wearing leather pants and a leather vest underneath. This is not advisable in Florida in April. I danced around to Wild Boys and left the stage. I would say to thunderous applause but I honestly wasn't paying attention, so I couldn't say. Someone approached me later to deliver the following insightful criticism: "Yo, man, that was the most fucked-up shit I have ever seen." I think he was a townie, but I couldn't say for sure. I sound like I was high but it was only adrenaline; I hate being on stage and I can't dance worth a damn. Nonetheless I think it was very good for me.
Today I went to MallWart and got some of the supplies for Fetish Ball. I was very tired, and daylight savings time is just not conducive to my life. I continue to be very tired. Oh, and I went out with two friends to Chili's for lunch, which means I have more food for later. Argh. Sleep awaits. I wish I didn't have school next week.
