WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR

Who wouldn't want Latrice Royale's nuts? 

 They just melted in my mouth! They're as chocolatey and fruity as the diva herself. And they come in a generous sized can, because we know Latrice has so self control. No Valentine gift says EAT IT like Latrice's nuts.  And because I hear Valentina has a nut allergy, I ordered her a whole case.

EVENING INTERLUDE

Latrice Royale is another of my favorite and highly recommended queens to entertain, so I was very tickled to see her lip snych to this song. "Four Women", originally written and released by Nina Simone, depicts the struggle of the African American Woman. This is a performance tribute, to the powerful women, who have changed history through their fight for "Racial and Social" justice. This piece is intended to celebrate those who were in the fight long before us, and to educate the masses on who these women were.

SHOWTIME

This weekend brought about many treats since coming home. It was a drag feast for the eyes. Seems all the queens were coming all at once to the city of brotherly love. Friday night was the brilliant Sasha Velour. Every gay man and gay friendly person should have to see Sasha perform. Simply put, the queen is a genius ,and is doing things I have never seen being done before. Sasha is not only brilliant, but her wardrobe is jaw dropping, lip synchs are tightly done, and he is welcoming and sweet as hell. The things is his show Nightgowns is great, but Smoke and Mirrors is even more theatrical and magical then the prior mention. Not only does Sasha lip synch to some great standards, but his graphic artist background for effects is pheromonal. 

This was part of a number where Sasha's dress that looked like a tree continues to metaphases into a full tree by special effects.

But my favorite routine was where we thought we saw Sasha get into a box and get sawed in half...only to be revealed it was all hologram!!!!! Then the "magician" turns out to be Sasha!!! Sasha is way beyond many queens out there, and to me is really being drag to a whole new level. Poetic, artistic and brilliant. I highly recommend this show if it comes to your neck of the woods.

After the show with Olive d'Nightlife.

Last night was ugly. Another show, and if you saw, brought about Lady Bunny in the train station on Sunday morning. YIKES! Sunday night it was off to the Filmore for a full on debauchery fest!

This outrageous, traveling stage show has become a staple of the season,with it's magical and hilarious evening filled with holiday performances, many adult themed, of course. I wanted to go to catch up with Bunny, Nina and Roxxxy. But all these queens are something, and I great bunch! I just fell in love with Shuga Cain even more!!! It was much needed debauchery after a long business trip away.

A fun number with Roxxxy and Latrice. Latrice looked amazing...I suspect because her hubby Christopher was traveling with them. Bunny will have him corrupt by the end of this trip.

Roxxxy, who I will forgive, did THAT FUCKING Mariah Carey song. 'llI give it to her...she knew the lyrics better then Mariah!!!!

When does Manilla NOT bring down a house?

Thorgy was up to her usual colorful antics, Her volin number later was amazing.

Of course the piece de la resistance at most of these things is my favorite queen, the foul mouthed, debach filled, booze hound, sex crazed queen Lady Bunny!!!! Is it any wonder I love her? Bunny nor only did her usual Laugh In style routine, but also a version of Vogue that insulted almost every queen..ever...on Drag Race including Ru herself, but later did a story time, with the audience. Twas the Night Before Christmas, of course this was the Bunny version!!!!

Some candid's backstage. Thorgy is really a sweet heart

Roxxxy is waiting and ready to be the next Philadelphia Sports mascot. I hear the Borghese Houseboys Mud Wrestling is looking for a mascot gurl!

And Bunny arranged all this bitches for a group shot.

And my old and new love, Nina and Shuga Cain! Nina is the lovely hostess for every stop of this tour. Quite amazing she is!!!! Considering she will be doing this every night till January and still keep it fresh, funny and smiling. Nina is a lovely soul.And Shuga's energy is contagious.

After the show most of the queens and the crowd hit the gayborhood for drinks...which is where it all went down hill. Today was ugly. Someone threw me under a Mac truck I believe, or under Latrice!!!! Bunny and her damn shots. Thank goodness my friend John drove me home and got me in bed. And the way I see it, Bunny now owes me a half days pay for leaving early!!!!! Bitch.  A Drag Queens Christmas is coming to a city near you hopefully. I know I have readers in Atlanta, San Fran, Chicago, St.Louis and LA. The girls were telling me, they are all on every stop, with exception to Roxxxy. When she is not present, the fill in queen is either Willam, Scarlett Envy or Shea Coulee. The tour dates are here.

If you need holiday cheer, then this is your ticket.

GRANDE DAME

She's large and in charge, chunky yet funky!!!! And she's my favorite contestant on the current Drag Race All Stars!!!!! It's Latrice Royale!!!!  Any wonder I love this queen!!!!

Royale was born in California  where he was raised in a "broken home" in Compton. In the 1990s, Royale started performing in drag. In 2012, he began appearing in reality television shows starting with RuPaul's Drag Race . After coming into the public eye, Royale became an ordained minister. The first wedding that he performed was for his friend Daniel in upstate New York in 2013. Latrice is a supporter of marriage equality, though he believes that it should not be called "gay marriage", stating, "It's a man and a man, and a woman and a woman getting married, and I think it is special and unique. So why not identify and celebrate it as something special and unique, and not lump it in with the same thing that has been going on for years? Latrice entered the world of drag when he dressed up as Wanda from In Living Color to amuse both himself and his friends and by the mid-1990s, Royale did his first drag show at the Copa Night Club in Fort Lauderdale. Latrice had been a drag performer now for over two decades by the time he tried out for RuPaul's Drag Race season 4. He tried out for the series as a dare, and got on. It's been a huge year for the fabulous Latrice too. He regained his right to vote, a career that is soaring, and after five years, got married finally to his partner, Christopher Hamblin, and when not traveling constantly can be seen at her home base bar at the Palace Bar in South Beach, Florida. There 's is no denying how sweet, kind, fierce, and style this queen has. Good luck to Latrice this season...get that crown gurl!!!!!!

The happy couple!
