Over the years I have had the pleasure of seeing the fabulous Lady Bunny many times, and every time seems to be just as fun and a hot mess as always. The first time I met her was in the line to use the bathroom at the legendary club, Palladium. She threatened to get out her brandin iron if the line didn't move faster. The worst time was when she dj once for a gay Pride at the Raven, where we talked and drank, and drank, and drank some more. It was ugly I tell ya. Last night was no different. Lady Bunny was back in New Hope where she brought her show Trans-Jester to our fair hamlet. It was sold out and they even had to move the venue from the Oak Room, to the main dance floor to accommodate the audience. The show itself was true Bunny hilarity, her infamous pop song parodies, her lovely Laugh-In shtick, and her foul mouthed , snarky jokes about everyone from Trump, the Kardashians and everyone in between. Of course, we can't over look her fabulous style and wigs!!! Hell, she was my inspiration for getting into drag when I did it.
By time the show was over, it was safe to say, my sides and everybody's sides hurt from all the laughter. Afterwards there was a meet and greet, then we retired to the Oak Room, where every Saturday night all the queens gather around the baby grand to sing show tunes all night.
Sounds like a gay men's chorus in there. But it is after all one of the Raven's Traditions. I even met one of the guys singing at the piano, a very muscular guy in very tight clothing. It was hard not to meet him, when Bunny places your hand in his crotch. He sang even more beautifully later that night!!!! But that's a fascinating tale for another time. Here's Bunny with the Razz Rooms hostess with the mostess Carol.
Look out London.....she's headin your way next to London’s Soho Theatre Feb 14-25.
When In New York, I never miss her show at the Monster. She is a legend and funny as hell.
ReplyDeleteYou mean you two hags had a night out and didn't call me?? Bunny looked fabulous! I hope she comes to P-Town soon.
ReplyDeleteThe Dick Dock is usually booked up isn't it?
DeleteShe is fabulous! I don't know much about drag queens, but her wigs look HUGE!
ReplyDeleteThey are. she usually has like two or three wigs combined into one huge one.Trick of the trade.
Deletelook everyone...the dead has arisen.
ReplyDeleteWhat does Trump have to do with this?
DeleteI have seen her once, and boy does she love her men! Must be why you two get along. Now lets hear more about the fascinating tale .
ReplyDeleteThe Queen of Drag Queens!
ReplyDeleteshe is STILL the most beautiful woman alive! she has better looking legs than I do!
ReplyDeleteShe does have nice gams, but her wigs!!!!! incredible.
DeleteI'm glad you had fun, and thanks for sharing this with us!
ReplyDeleteShe sounds amazing. And a few decades away from being an old hag!
ReplyDeleteShe does look wonderful, but you'd shit yourself if you know how old we really were.
DeleteOMG! We'll be in London then. And staying in Soho! Wonder if we can still get tix! The mission for today!
ReplyDeleteIf you like style and a foul mouth, and dirty song lyrics then she is just your ticket Mitchell. She was highly entertaining. Yes, tickets should be on sale now. If you can't find the show listed on the calendar, just type Lady Bunny in their search box, it should the come up to purchase
DeleteSounds like a good time was had by all. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood thing Lady Bunny was forward enough to place your hand on that guy's crotch because we all know how shy you are.
ReplyDeleteYou know me so well Debs. Me do a thing like that?
DeleteAh, very much like what the show kids used to do around these parts... Always fun. I have a sneaking suspicion that you and the piano guy had a fun after-after party.
ReplyDeleteI did my own tickling of the ivories!
DeleteI can only imagine the hijinks that went on! We probably would have gone ourselves had we not tickets to a quartet. I would love to see her sometime. She's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSO JEALOUS! Went to get tickets when you first posted, but they were sold out already. She looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLady Bunny is a hoot! I have to catch her one of these times.
