Picture it: You hear women’s laughter from inside the venue when you get to the top of the stairs. Your great grandmother greets you and she is young and beautiful and in her wild party era. Coming in you notice that the stage has been redone in pink velvet, the curtains are gold and the martini glasses are opal. Ruckus applause breaks out in the venue, half the audience faints with excitement like The Beatles just walked out but even better.
Serenading you throughout the evening will be your two Drag King co-hosts Stevie O’Brian and Robin Wood. Enjoy Sinatra-esque drag numbers and the kinda relationship of two cigar buddies that definitely used to fool around in their youth but now have separate families but will sometimes give each other that look…. you know THAT look, like “remember that time in France when we wore nothing but fox fur and antlers in the Versaille Palace?”
Heat up your seats while watching the diamond dripping burlesque of Quiche Lorraine, Cherry Cheeks, Scarlette Bitch and Atrevida Love. Swoon all the way to the moon while they work classic boas, feather fans and reveal their artistry and more!
You know that feeling of having a fun fling? Y’all are snuggling and they nibble on your earlobes? That’s what Scarlett Darling will be doing to the piano over intermission in the lounge area. Enjoy the sweet caress of their musical prowess, bringing classic tunes to carry you through the evening.
!!!1920’s Flapper and Dapper attire encouraged!!!!
