Which well-known drag show has apparently been caught out in a blatant act of plagiarism? I’m told it’s been going on for a while now (in many forms) but this is the most glaringly obvious rip-off I’ve seen in quite a while.
Costumes and an entire number (choreography included) from 20 years ago have been rehashed, put onstage and passed off as new.
Someone, somewhere isn’t happy, Jan. Apparently it was right down to the detail on the costumes — colour, fabric, the works.I hear the Xchange flood relief night wasn’t as heavily supported as it should have been, but was still well-attended. Oh well, there’s always the government levy.
The liquored-up lady herself, Ms Monte Dee, will this Saturday night step into the ruby slippers of the inscrutable one (Melbourne’s ‘sweet’ heart Ms Paris) at the legendary GH. Yes, you heard correctly, she of the potty mouth will take the reins for a two-week season.
It appears Ms Paris has jetted off to India in search of spiritual awakening or to find a soul in that cold cavity she calls a heart.
And so guest-hosting is Ms Dee. She is sure to give those posing mannequins at the GH a hard and fast lesson in alcohol consumption, four-letter words, and vomiting and falling about in public places — hope those girls are up for it!
I can see them fleeing the dressing room with ears bleeding, desperately searching for Bibles or holy water in an attempt to stem the flow of foul expletives and bodily fluids.
Just like The Exorcist.I think it’s just what the doctor ordered. It’s time those girls let their tiaras slip a little.
Trouble in paradise? It seems there may be a spot of bother among another little troupe of dragoons. Rumours whirling in dragland tell me there is friction aplenty between these gals. The air was hung thick with tension the other night. You could cut it with a knife, I’m told.
There may not be room in the tented area that is their dressing room for all those egos.
Pride march is coming up. Onstage we have the reunited Dragorama showgirls, fronted by yours truly. Plus the campest new trans trio to hit town in a while — Kimmi Farkin Moore, Charity Steals and Heidi Cockwell.
Don’t miss the biggest mega-drag show to hit Pride in many a year. Some old, some new, some as big as your head.
Also featuring the talents of Destiny Forbidden from the illustrious Heaven’s squeaky Door and the camp as poop drag kings. Shows all arvo in the day.
March on down Fitzroy St to Catani Gardens. Pop into the Prince and get yourself liquored up and watch the girls in action.
Until next time, remember, camp can mean a thousand things.
MWAH xx
