So last weekend was amazing for me, as I got to experience an incredible Drag Queen Performance, by none other than the All Stars 3 Winner Trixie Mattel. She is one of my all time favourites, I have to say one of because it's a battle between her and Katya. Nonetheless I thought I should take this opportunity to talk about how this wasn't actually my first ever drag show, but my third. Which doesn't sound all that amazing, but considering they all took place in February I think it is rather incredible.
Originally I was only supposed to see the two shows, and my first actual drag show was pretty much a spontaneous trip. This is because my sister had essentially made it her mission to see as many drag shows as she can, and for the Season 10 winner Aquaria's show at the Waterfront, the person she was going with could no longer make it, so to not waste money, and keep up with my vow to do more entertaining things with my time I agreed to go. Aside from the standing, which for a pregnant girl is pretty difficult for long periods of time, and the extremely tall annoying guy who stood in-front of me. IT WAS AWESOME. I enjoyed all the different outfits she put together in a small space of time, the lip-syncs and dancing were on point. And I had lots of fun.
Then a couple of weeks later I travelled to the LCR to go and see All Stars 2 Winner Alaska, and thankfully this time I was sat down for the show, but again couldn't avoid a really annoying guy in front of me. But guys, I thought Aquaria's show was amazing, Alaska fucking topped it. Hers incorporated more comedy, and had more live singing, which was brilliant, and the songs were both things I had known and something new. Props to Alaska as well for actually braving the audience for the "Can I Ask You A Question?" segment, which was just brilliant. Again she also turned out some lovely looks. And the great thing about Alaska is how she manages to look stunning whilst pulling the weirdest of expressions and it is very inspiring.
So finally we have Trixie as mentioned before,
and just as I thought my Drag Show experience couldn't be topped. It happened. This time was again seated, there was no annoying guy by me, and my God Trixie does not hold back. Her lip-sync, her jokes, her live singing. It was all just amazing. And it is really sad that it's all over. She did have the least costumes to display, but she did still look incredible, and to be fair her content for her show was enough for me. Like I don't need to see her in 15 outfits, and do incredible reveals, but she would do that flawlessly if she did.
What I didn't realise was the support acts would also be so good. For Aquaria there were 3 in total. Rujazzle, CJBanks and Asia Thorne. But mainly the first two caught my attention. The comedy they had together, and the lip-sync to Nikki Graham's speech from Big Brother was incredible. They also part way through the show got random members of the audience to take part in a lip-sync to Lady Gaga. Rujazzle made a return for Alaska's show. Where she let the audience take part in a blind date situation after she was Barbie for a song. Now for Trixie's show I feel bad I don't remember their names. The main hostess I would say was pretty good, hosting another lip-sync competition this time to the infamous Read U Wrote U. The other very much enjoyed coming into the audience.
Unfortunately that is all the drag shows until April, where I am going to see the legend that is Katya. I am super excited and I am sure I will tell you all about it. But for now, see you when I see you!
