The girls go DRAG: Brunch

 Rochester NY ROAR

April. 7th 2024

( I've been busy trying to catch up on my blog....but I am caught up on one longer trip that happened in March...(The Mothman) so this is out of my traditional sequence...but this blog was already done...so here is a fast forward drop.)

For the longest time, I have wanted to go check out a DRAG show. I know that my time in the area is limited, so I began seeking out local shows so that me and my friends could enjoy going. I found ROAR in Rochester NY and they were hosting a Drag Brunch. Me, Kelly, my daughter, Tammy and Patty made our way to Rochester to get a glimpse of what Drag is all about.

Now, I had no idea what I was getting into here, but I was welcoming a good time, no judgement and lots of laughs spent with my friends. 

We all had a few cocktails. I had a Mimossa, some of the girls got this Bloody Mary with bacon pieces. We enjoyed drinks and had the brunch before the show was to begin.  The host was DeeDee Debloius. She came over to our table and chatted with us, she even got us a group selfie.

There were 6 performers each provided 2 shows, so we had a long day ahead of us. There were three traditional drag performers. 1 Drag Queen, which was new to me. I believe it is a women who dresses as a man, and 1 burlesque performer, this was my most shocking.  (performances are listed backward here)

Here's DeeDee

The Drag King, he gave a hell of a show including a priest like costume and providing wooden crosses.

A little interlode....I'm not sure what was going on here, might be a little drunk? But the girls were being silly.

My favorite outfit goes to Vivian Darling. She had some of the best dresses.

The little burlesque show....well let me just give it to this gal for being so confident in her body. She just let it all hang out...when she opened up her bra....well that was a show.

I had several more pictures and some videos, I just didn't feel right posting some of them. 

We were encouraged to get up and give a little $ through each show, I did a little dance up to the stage and did my part. We all did. Tammy was a little uncomfortable with this, but she was shoved into it by Patty. Here my daughter is giving some bucks. 

This gal, was the best dancer. She even did a pole dance. 

My favorite part was the dancing. I jumped around in my seat dancing and singing most of the show. I wished I could be all dolled up and up on that stage. Just a little jelly. 

It was an enjoyable time. An experience for sure. The group did a great job and they are very talented. I am not sure if I would do this kind of thing again, not that I didn't enjoy myself, if there was another show and my friends wanted to go, I would be all in. It's just not something that I would do like this again. I did love the ladies, they were all so much fun. I love that these women/men could be themselves and I certainly felt that I could be myself there too. Fun times. 

TTFN!!!!
