I think I am a drag queen

I had TWO lightulb moments at Frank Marino's "Divas Las Vegas".

1. I really have a drag queens soul
and
b. I don't have NEARLY enough merchandise

The show begins with a fabulous montage Frank has dedicated to HIMSELF featuring many glamour shots of ... himself, and from there unfolds a show straight out of the glamour puss studios handbook.

Frank, (now allegedly "Joan Rivers", although no attempt is made to mimic or identify with Joan in any way) comes out between each number in a succession of huge and glamorous frocks and does some shtick before introducing the next show stopper - mmm - I'm having a little de ja vu - except my frocks are so much more glamorous than Franks.

Frank likes to wheel out every old drag joke in the book - "This dress is so tight its like a cheap hotel - no ball room!" . Middle America are squealing like this is the most OUTRAGEOUS thing they've ever heard!

Grant and i and a couple of the gals are sitting in a banquette at the VERY back of the room, drinking a bottle of moet and chandon and muttering the words "oh dear" ... a LOT.

Mr Eric & Co are in the VERY FRONT ROW - oh Mr Eric - some shows realllllllly shouldn't be seen from that close.

They did have glistening chorus boys in gold hot pants - their formations were CLEARLY for six dancers - yet only five had turned up. Re-jigging? - unheard of - even in the question and answer dance - kick-ball-change, 2, 3, 4 ... then .... NOTHING, 2,3,4 ..... classic!

At the end of the show (oh no! already!?)Frank wheels out his merchnadise (available in the foyer after the show), and for and extra dollar Frank will plant a huge lip print on it for you! Frank has sooooooooooooooooo much merchandise! (But not a commemorative tea towel) There are MANY glossy 8x10's, t-shirts, hoodies, two cookbooks, an autobiography and a glossy programme just to name a few.

There is no escaping the foyer without seeing Frank up close - ouch my retinas -some things cannot be un-seen - but at the same time I am planning to start using that liquid eyeliner technique immediately.
