Girl love
We can't possibly do justice to last night's drag king show until we post pictures, except for unfortunately Girl-E took crappy pictures. But we'll show you a few acceptable ones within the next day or two. Let's just say that these young ladies were genius. Most of the show was lipsynching, but it was the context and costuming of each song that made it brilliant. For example, they did "Freedom '90" as a Bush-Kerry debate -- if you think about the lyrics to that song, it's frigging perfect. They also performed "Father Figure" as two gay men telling one of their bible-thumping fathers about their relationship, it was heartbreaking. And yes, they are fans of George Michael, clearly. But they also did their famous smokin' re-enactment of "Thriller," and many others that we could explain but would end up boring you with because you weren't there. One of the girls was such a cute boy that Girl-E totally wanted to make out with her. The girls were also just ridiculously nice, and she almost wished they didn't already have a femme in the group. If lesbians have the equivalent of fag hags, she's discovered she'd probably enjoy being one of them. Well except that a real equivalent would be a guy, but whatever.
Anyway, now we're just pissy because Girl-E thought she had an 8:30 meeting, and then was told when she got here that she didn't have to go. What we're going to do with all of this extra awake time we have no idea.

I fully acknowledge my lameness in not coming, and vow to do my level best to make it to the next show. Amen.

Did they do the zombie dance from the Thriller video? I don't really hate admitting that I still know the steps to that dance...

Oh you betcha. Not only do they do the zombie dance in full costume, but they made a zombie video to be the horror movie that MJ and his girlfriend are watching at the drive-in. The movie features zombies watching 'Silence of the Lambs', driving cars, getting wasted, falling out of trashcans and sliding into homeplate. I'm telling you, genius.

I was just talking about the "Thriller" video a couple nights ago. My husband threatened to divorce me, because I was singing the song in the theater while we were waiting for "Dawn of the Dead" to start. But, he won't really divorce me. I hope.
