I know that a bunch of you are Drag Race fans like me, so I had to post about the other night, even though my photos didn't come out so great. Quite a few Drag Race Alumni have come through Nashville and I've been to see a few (Pandora Boxx, Raja, The Princess, and Jujubee) but have missed even more (most notably Manilla, I'm still kicking myself!). But when a friend told me Sharon Needles would be here on Friday the 13th I knew we had to go! Even my best friend Crystal couldn't miss it. We got to the club REALLY early (I thought there was a 9:30 show, but it didn't start until 11!) but that turned out to be good because we ended up with a great spot. They had the club decked out in spooky stuff. I heard that almost 1000 people showed up to see Sharon and couldn't even see the stage!
She came out of a coffin that had been on the stage for the first 3 numbers by the house queens. It was so great! She had on her "Inaguration realness" outfit. I wish I could remember what song she did.
It was so packed I couldn't even get to the stage to tip!
After her first number she sat in the coffin and ate dollar bills until they got a mike out to her. She was so funny and great. I really hope she wins next week!
For her second number she came out with a real poodle in her canine couture outfit!
It was so good.
Even though we had all said we wanted to be home by 11, and it was after midnight, we decided to wait in line to meet her. Crystal made her this pouch. Look at the perfect outfit she wore!
I don't know why I didn't buy one of these shirts! They are so perfect! "I ran into Sharon Needles at Party City." I did get a poster, which you can kind of see in the background, and Travis got a koozie.
She was SO NICE and funny! She did her Michelle Visage impression for me and signed our stuff. I'm always so relieved when you meet someone you like and they turn out to be just as great as you hoped.
She LOVED the pouch and Crystal's dress.
I can't wait for the season finale next week!! Who are you rooting for? You better not say Phi Phi!
Sharon Needles is my fav too! I think she was on an episode of Project Runway a few seasons back when they had to design a gown for a Queen.
ReplyDeleteI love her.
I loved Latrice Royale also. I wish Sharon and Latrice were my neighbors.
PhiPhi can suck it!
So cool you got to meet her and she was super nice...I didn't doubt she wouldn't be though.
SHE IS GIVING YOU GOTHIC REALNESS, GIRL!
man i am STILL crying about Latrice. she should have been top three. I'm glad this year they finally had a big girl who was stunning and funny and creative. i hope she comes to nashville!
DeleteThis is soooo awesome! I almost pooped myself when I read that you saw Raja. I am a Raja stan like none other. Sharon Needles is spooky but cool to me. Love this.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm missing something here or I'm a complete idiot What does a drag queen have to do with drag racing?
ReplyDeletethe show is called rupaul's drag race! it is a reality show that is kind of a mix of next top model and project runway, but with drag queens. it is my favorite current show!
DeleteOh, too cool! I love her Indiana outfit!
ReplyDeleteSharon is the best. I want her to win but Chad Michaels is so good too. Phi Phi better be out or the whole thing has to be rigged. What a perfect way to spend friday the 13th.
ReplyDeleteChad michaels is great, she can be so beautiful! i wouldn't be pissed if she won. i wanted chad/sharon/latrice for the top three, but i guess they would be too nice.
Deletelol I looked it up shortly after posting Guess I need to watch more tv
ReplyDeleteawesome!!!! we turned off our cable, but i kinda of miss drag race. off to check hulu.
ReplyDeletewe don't have cable. i know i would be OBSESSED and watch stupid crap all day. drag race is pretty much the only current show i watch. i'm so happy they have it on hulu! they have the past seasons on netflix!
DeleteYou guys always have so much fun!
ReplyDeletelove
tweedles
LOVE her, DETEST Phi Phi. I am so Jelly!!!! :OD
ReplyDeleteGothic realness FOR REALZ. She took their advice on the wigs though, her hair looks good!
ReplyDeleteI nearly cried when Sharon was announced as the next drag superstar. The minute before the crowning moment was so damn nerve-wracking. Personally, I don't hate Phi Phi as much as I did earlier on in the season but I thought Latrice was more qualified to be in the top three than her. My top four would've definitely been: Sharon--as number one of course, Chad, Latrice, and Willam. Anyways, the decorations in the club seem amazing and I love that "Play Dead Celebrity Ball" in the background. I hope I get to meet Sharon one day - I'll probably burst into tears when I do meet her.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I was on the edge of my seat for the announcement! i am so happy that Sharon won. I wanted Latrice to be in the top three too. I think she was much more polished and beautiful than Phi Phi, but I guess they would have been a pretty drama free top three. Latrice will be here in July and I am going to go and hope to meet her. I will probably cry because I love her so much.
