Grande Dame-Lady Galore



One of these days, if I ever do my Top 10 Best Drag Queens, Lady Galore would be on it! This Diva isn't your regular queen honey, she's Big, Fierce and Galore!!! She only pops up at parties once in a while but when she does, she does it Galore Style! I absolutely love her style!!!!! And her wigs....FIERCE!  Lady Galore was created for Gay Pride 2009 in Amsterdam. After that she was unstoppable. She started out making her own outfits, practicing make-up and making appearances to various party’s throughout the first year. At the end of that year she teamed op with photographer Remon van den Kommer, who to this day still works with her on fabulous spreads. Throwing her own party’s, photo-shoots and uploading YouTube video’s were the next step. Since 2 years she is strutting her stuff on a international level. Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Madrid, Antwerp the sky is the limit. She started up several events like the “Right to feel safe” protest in 2010 and Drag Queens United in 2011. She is also the founder of the House of Galore, a group of drag Queens who are talented, friendly, professional and have amazing looks, skills and creativity. Since January 2012 every Sunday she has organised, hosted, presented and performed at her own event called “Lady Galore’s drag night”. Which is currently every Sunday in the Amstel 54. Also Lady Galore’s Gay High tea in the chocolate company Amsterdam and Lady Galore’s fabulous cocktail Wednesdays in Taboo Bar in Amsterdam are a lot of fun!
She has lots of dreams, aspirations and hopes that she gets to travel more, meet great people and hold her friends close
.
Let’s make more GLAMOUR!











Life Lessons From a Queen #16

 
 
 
"Drag can be thought-provoking, moving and sometimes even frightening; but drag should always be entertaining. My drag tip - be creative, be entertaining, be proud! I live by the expression -- laughter is the best medicine!"

Dredging Autumn........

 
Autumn. Like the Mistress of this Casa, I too am a summer person and love every minute, but unlike the Mistress,  I hate the Autumn season, as before long everything will die and look baron. After the Labor Day Party and the condition of the Casa du Borghese after, the Mistress was none too happy and sent me on vacation, instead of being locked up in the attic. So I took advantage and went to Stone Harbor to relax, and never again. It is depressing to watch the beach goers getting all mopey. It's bad enough that summer is ending but I sure don't need to watch this. It's quite revolting. It goes with the gray sea and the fried food, and the appalling hopelessness of all those dead people, dragging their limpid bodies up and down the boardwalk, waiting for the blessed relief of Autumn, when they can let their brains fur over and their limbs go atrophy , while they crawl back in their holes and spend the fall and winter, breaking wind in front of the telly.
 
I don't depress you dahlings do I?

Going Again.......

I would swear I need a turn style.....I don't know if I'm coming or going. I'm now off to a prototype for the holiday set-up...I just found out, and will be out for two days. In the meantime my newest houseboy looks like the Cheshire Cat.
 
 
But he is neither from Cheshire or a cat, discuss amongst yourselves, as he has me  getting verklempt!
