I wish I could go back in time and try my hand at being a young drag queen... with a good name like Ida Slapter. My first university girlfriend (not a drag queen) was named Janet Darling.
I worked with a woman named Winifred Cox and another named Ida Love. As if Win Cox wasn’t bad enough, I wanted them to marry so Ida could be Ida Love-Cox.
I attended a dinner party one summer at the beach. We spent the day coming up with drag names for everyone (Iona Cow, Freida Lays). We wrote them on index cards and put them under the plates. At dinner you had to reveal your name. It was a hoot! We were all supposed to lip-sing after dinner but we got too drunk and never got there. Good times.

ReplyDeleteIda is a trip! And over the top style!
DeleteIda Slapter for looking so fine!
ReplyDeleteAnd if Ida Slapter marries Bill Double that would make me married name Ida Slapper Double!!!! Maybe we should send her to the White House?

DeleteLMAO Mitchell!!!! After that story as a drag queen, I bequeath to you the name Tawdry Hepburn!!!!
DeleteOh, Maddie, thank you for this. I LOVE my name!
DeleteOh the ladies came out to play!
ReplyDeleteWell Monica came to slay, but you get my drift.
Sherry is an institution, at this point.
XOXO
I've seen Sherry Vine perform many a time in person. When her and Jackie Beat get together and have a double show it's a riot.
DeleteIda Slapter's outfit -- YOWZA!
ReplyDeleteI agree; Ida Slapter has got what it takes to reign.
