I went shopping for pastie making supplies today. Why am I making pasties? Because I am going to do something really awesome that I have always wanted to do, Burlesque.
My debut is fast approaching (July 2nd) and the nerves have kicked in, but it was really important for me to do this because when I was a little girl I really, really, really wanted to be a drag queen. I watched "Wigstock," "To Wong Foo," "Priscilla," "Rocky Horror" and "Cabaret" religiously, I read RuPaul's autobiography several times. I was crushed when I realized that there was no future for me in that line of work. And then the burlesque revolution happened, and I now get to live out my fantasies of dressing up in lots of glitter and having an audience to applaud my glamorous self. It's going to be rad.
For those of you in the Los Angeles area, the show will be on July 2nd, also my 23rd Birthday, at the '3 of Clubs' just north of Santa Monica on Vine, get there around 10pm. No cover.
