Huge step for me

[boy2girl31]

Where I live we have a bar that I found out does a drag show every Wedensday night. I have gone to the show for the past 2 weeks and was asked to participate last week, so I went in tonight with a bag containing all my "accessories" I lip synced Kelly Clarkson and felt great there were a few people there who had no interest in the show and made comments about the "freaks" but almost everyone was very supportive. Has anyone else ever seen this or tried it? I was very nervous but think I will do it again and I will take my camera along because I know you will all want to see. Finally thanks to everyone here I don't think I could have done it without hearing all your stories.

The first time is always the hardest. Now you know you can do it. I wish I had your fortitude. Pics, please!

Congrats!!!! :cheer: :clap: I hope it was as big of a rush for you as it was for me to hit the stage for the first time. I had done one contest and two benefit shows. Was on cloud 9 for a month.

Wow that sounds like it took some guts. Can I add a big ditto to the pics please request. Would be lovely to see you performing (OOps didn't mean that to sound quite like that), but you know what I mean.
Let us know how you get on next time you visit and thanks for sharing that with us.

Next time out "I will survive" is requested.:) You haven't been to a drag show until someone sings that. I admire your courage. I think all CDs are just showoffs trying to get out.

First thanks again for the encouragement. Second I just bought a new digital camera But I can't find where I put it I'll find it by next wedensday. Third to suzy cool , is that a destiny's child song? If so I could try that it is just lip sincing at my new fave bar.

I have never been to a drag show but would like to go to one sometime. There is nothing like that here where I live in rural Iowa. It sounds like you enjoyed yourself performing on stage and that is all that matters. Personally I am too shy to do something like that but would love to be part of the audience.

LIPS is a New York City drag show and bar. I thought that for those going out in public for the first time would feel more comfortable there as well as get an opportunity to see some "professional" ladies at work. I love going and plan on doing this several times a year. :D

I think its very brave of you to do it and also want piccies!!!! :love:

[tricia_uktv]

Yay, well done. I did an entirely different version of 'Wild Thing' two weeks ago. Its definately fun, and nobody worries too much. Its show biz!

Ok I just got home and down loaded my pics from my digital. For those who wanted pics here you go. They had time constraints tonight so I could only do 1 number but here it is. BTW I was singing Gwen Steffani "Rich Girl". The spotlight ruined the make-up job and next time I think I will use a waterproof foundation and powder becauser it was quite hot in the bar. As for waterproof any suggestions?

[TommiTN]

Very cute outfit!

[Laura_Stephens]

congrats! Sounds like you had fun.

[DemonicDaughter]

THAT IS AWESOME! I love it! When are you touring in NY?

Is that bar in Warren the Funky Skunk? Since the Queen of Hearts closed, some of the girls have been doing girls night out at the Funky Skunk.

Wow! I'm impressed. Not only going to the shows, but being a star!

[boy2girl31]

Just a quick note to awnser some questions in this thread.

DemonicDaughter as for a tour I am just getting brave enough to do it at a bar where I know people.

Jodi Yes it is the skunk.

charlie Not close to the star I am like #3.

Lastly any suggestions on a waterproof foundation?

Lastly any suggestions on a waterproof foundation?

Now that you are on stage... might as well try stage makeup, its virtually sweat-proof. You'll still need blotting papers and a touch up now and again, but its created to last on performers. :)

Adding some later performance pics.
