ZHE DRAG QUEENS

So just as a preface I've never gone to a drag show before Thursday and I didn't really know a whole lot about drag culture until just a few months ago.

So going to my first drag show was an experience.

And I loved it.

Also as a preface I hardly ever go out during the week just because I have evil 8 am classes and I need my sleep or I literally resemble Grendel from Greek mythology.
I am not a nice person with out adequate sleep.

So I went out on thursday because A- I'm doing my final project for my video production class on drag culture and B - because my good friend Tirrell was preforming in it and I had heard such great things about the last drag show him and his friend did that I just had to go.

So I went out.

Well first I filmed Tirrell getting ready.
Which was an experience and a half.
I thought I knew make up.
But damn he knows make up.
He was doing some crazy contouring and some really fierce eye shadow.

And he looked really good.

Like this was my first time experiencing drag and I loved the entire experience.

Well after I headed to the bar and met up with some friends.
Now it was also at this one bar that's known for being a little shady.
Its been known that those underage can buy drinks,
They don't really ID I guess.
And for those reasons I don't go to this bar like ever.


But one of my cordial acquaintances was the bouncer and hes this big really nice built guy.
So if anything happened or if someone was bothering me I knew I had him.
Which just as an FYI I didn't and don't put myself in situations like that.

But the drag show started around 11.
By then some of my girl friends had arrived and there was this creepy old man trying to buy us drinks.
He was hell bent on buying me a drink but I said no and got a glass of water.
Drunk old men in a younger bar are quite interesting if I do say so myself.


But the show started and Tirrell shook his little ass and had so much fun strutting around in his sky high heels.
He is a beautiful drag queen.

And I've known him from the Indy this semester but I never knew he could dance and act that way.
We all had so much fun and i'm so proud of all the numbers him and his friend did.

It was an incredible show and just the atmosphere except for the creepy old guy was great.

BUT I had tons of fun and don't worry I was very safe.
We all watched our drinks and each others drinks.
We were very very safe mom.


But if there is ever another drag show in Durango just know i'll be there!
