Okay so I mentioned in my introductory post how much I adore drag queens. There's just something about the hyper-feminised looks, a million sequins and deathdrops that make me incredibly happy inside.
The Queen of all queens is, obviously Miss RuPaul, Supermodel of the World, but if you're as much of a fangirl as me and my friends are, you will have invested a worrying amount of time watching RuPauls Drag Race and have your own favourites out of the 74 contestants so far. (If for some inexplicable reason you aren't as obsessed with Rupauls Drag Race as I am, it's basically a competition where drag queens compete in a series of challenges to be crowned Americas Next Drag Superstar, including completely baffling tasks like dressing up in wedding dresses and marrying themselves...)
Anyway, a few months ago me and my friend Paul snagged tickets to see one of our favourite queens, Alaska Thunderfuck and paid extra to meet the vision of loveliness.
The show was great drag fun, with plenty of lipsyncing, singing, outfit changing, comedy and general fabulous-ness.
(a million hideous selfies were taken- this is Paul btw, say Hi!)
It was actually my first proper drag show and I loved it!
Meeting Alaska after...more than a few glasses of wine was pretty nerve-wracking though, embarassing myself in front of celebrities does seem to be a bit of a theme in my life really, but she was genuinely very nice. I said I wanted to "marry her a little bit" and she said "of course we can get married a little bit!" So there you go, you heard it here first, I am officially engaged to a 29 year old man in a dress!
She also recognised me from the show, saying that she remembered & loved my outfit (which, as I am a drunken fool, I forgot to take a full picture of, but it was ace, I promise).
All in all it was an awesome night, loved seeing something different, and meeting one of my idols!
Much love
