La Cage aux Fun!


So I was in Oregon visiting my big sis, Jo-Ann, a couple weekends ago. One night, she and her husband, John, asked if I wanted to go to a comedy club or a drag queen cabaret. To me, the choice was simple: Drag, Drag, Drag! I'd been to a hundred comedy clubs, but when would I ever again have this opportunity? It's not like I can lean over to my husband as our kids are running through the house, and ask "Why don't we go to a drag queen cabaret tonight?" We went to Darcelle's Night Club, featuring the beloved 79 year old queen herself, Darcelle. I had the night of my life! People can think what they want about guys who dress up as women, but I'm all about living life to the fullest. That, and sequined ball gowns!
Can you believe this lady is 79? More unbelievable: She's performed in drag for 43 years. That's a lot of face powder and girdles.

The sequins! The colors! The glamour!

Me with Jo-Ann, before heading out. She teased me as a kid, but now she takes me to drag queen cabarets! There's a joke in there somewhere, but anyhoo, I love her.
