Hello m’dears, mOther here!
Seems another friend of Dorothy’s – I’m thinking of the big feline variety –got a ruby red slipper up the clacker this month and consequently booted from the home of party… but one isn’t really surprised by that. I wonder if they’re having a good whine about it? To be sure, to be sure it was amusing, but not quite as amusing as the next pearler…
You know it’s a good party when one of the organisers of said party is clearly having such a good time that – whoops – they get booted out of their own party! Is this a taste of parties to come? At least they can take a little pride in their performance. Now, if only there was some nasal spray technology to combat the rowdiness….
Speaking of said party, weren’t Brash and Sassy simply fantastic!? My my, yes, they were. As is the new Connections Nightclub Drag Breeding Program! My god, if there had been any more drag queens there at the Madonna Party I would’ve been tempted to shave my eyebrows and start vomiting on myself… just like one of them later did, ruining her ‘pretty’ outfit. But really, they should all should wear name tags. It’s ridiculous to think that anyone could actually remember all of them. Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, Vomitface… such beautiful names. Anyway, rant done, but yeah: love the Breeding Program.
Speaking of vomit (and no, we’re not about to talk about Maybelline… thank God) it seems those wicked bitches of the West, Fem & Val, are spewing at the Wednesday night Court crowd. Why? Put simply kids, they’re the performers, not you (although some of you are a circus), so pay them due respect and shut up during their shows. Remember, drag queens have very pointy heels and even pointier tongues, so be warned. That and Val has been known to eat people alive!
Mama Mia, here they go again, my my, how I resist you!? Yes, ABBA-dabba-drag hits The Court Hotel on September 5 and like a super duper Drag Trooper, these dames are gonna be all long blonde or curly peroxide perms, dreaming about Fernando. Who the hell is this Fernando?
Hunk happens at Connections Nightclub September 6. Check out article elsewhere on this page for all the dirty details!
A Glitz ‘n’ Glam MySpace Party is hitting The Court on September 12. Join in the fun by dressing up glitzy, glamourous or like MySpace for your chance to take home some awesome prizes. Yes, this promises to be big… particularly if you take into account how many friends The Court have on their MySpace. Up to a four figure number now isn’t it?
PINK hits The Court on September 25! No, it’s not the hot singer known for her lesbian cult following but rather a new fangled energy drink called PINK. This one will give you PINK bits rather than wings, so why not get in and mix it up with mixologist Gary Beadle who will be making a vast array of delicious cocktails. Mmmm, PINK Bits! Now there’s a drink and wouldn’t mind getting my tongue around.
Girl, you better work! This show is not to be missed. ‘Supermodels-Famous’ hits Connections Nightclub on September 26. This show originated back in the ’90s with the premise simple yet fabulous – drag queens have to create their own over the top, haute couture creation… which has to grow, like their ego, each week! Sound simple? Well, it is – in theory. The results are over the top, outrageous and d’jour couture. So, strap on your sequins as Delta, Shiela, Dita, Val Uptuous and The Giselle hit the stage in the most glamourous get-up this side of a Galliano or Westwood show. They’ll be joined by two very important headliners. First off is Miss Vene-Mous, this years winner of Death by Drag and her of the incredible clown make-up at Sideshow. Secondly is the hopeful return to the stage of her holiness, Miss Glamourpuss. The show will then run for three weeks every Saturday from September 4. What the frock are you looking at? Fashion!
September 28 is gonna be huge! Bigger than big! Bigger than Oprah! Why? IT’S PRIDE FAIRDAY! Yes, it’s time to run around screaming ‘Happy Pride!’ at all and sundry and what better place to do it than at Pride Fairday. There’s great entertainment, the dog show, stalls, bouncy castle, animal farm, licensed area, live acts and drag shows, not shows that drag. It’s takes place at Russell Square, $10 general entry, $5 for Pride members and free if you are under 18… or at least can look it. All that cash is going to a good cause too! And remember – this year there is NO BYO!
After Fairday The Court kicks things off with Miss Swish Everready running rampant around the venue, screeching and twittering and kicking it up like only she can. She’ll be joined by Fem and Co for a night filled with music, DJs and more queens than you could scream at. Leave the bronzer at home kids, you’re sure to be rubbing shoulders with everyone – literally – and the last thing they is a face full of orange all over their nice D&G top. Doors close 2am!
Over at Connections (phew… keeping up? Good) and it’s all sideshow alley style with a Hall of Crazy Mirrors and a giant bouncy castle (!?) plus rides of all kinds for all you big kids. Proceeds from the $2 coin donation on the door go toward Pride. Add drag queens, room theatre and cordial or two and you have a night you might just forget, but will have damn fun doing so.
There is a post-Fairday Pride recovery Party at ZOO with gates opening at 8pm and not swinging shut until 2am. With freaky performance art (think hypodermic tiara through the forehead), this queer alternative is so far out it’s another galaxy unto itself. They kick off Pride month with the simply titled night ‘ZOO goes 3D’ and that’s exactly what they do. Not to be missed, this is the cutting edge cutting it up right here in Perth kids!
mOther’s had too much party now, but shall leave you with the thought that you may want to keep eyes and ears peeled as you wouldn’t want to be court without tickets to Potbellez next month, unless of course you are hanging out to party with Pride and the rest of your connections following the Parade!
Now, go and do what your mOther told you!
