Former roomate was down for the weekend- it was short, but a whirlwind as usual!
The 3 fags and a hag (moi) made it to Priscilla, Queen of the Desert! To add to the campy factor it's the west-end musical version!
I loved it- the hotter than hot men in drag....i have never seen so many delicious bums on stage. The costumes were beyond amazing- taking bell bottoms to the next level, with the odd bare bottom to boot. I have fallen in love with ostrich feathers and big, big headresses.....Oh, and the skirts that looks like cupcakes.....owh......the love of drag!
The music- all our campy favourites: tina turner, kylie, "i will survive" and then some.
A new introduction is what can only be described as the "someone left a cake in the rain" song.
If you have 4 minutes of your life to waste, as you inadvertly do now, watch the donna summer original. The good bits start at 0:35 and it gets groovy at 1:12.
Oh, of course, the Gloria Gaynor classic!
Check out the headpieces!
There's even a ping-pong reference- oh, and ping-pong balls rained from the sky, in pink! The story is sweet- it's about a bunch of ladies who take their act from Sydney across the aussie desert in a pink camper van/ tour bus named Priscilla. And the adventures they have.
It's a little like "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" which is one of my favourite-tess movies ever.
Must get DVD.
And the icing on the weekend of no (school) work must be Britney's circus tour. Ex-roomie wanted company and so got me tickets so i could go and watch it with him. What can i say, I loved it!!!!
From the opening by Perez Hilton,
to the acrobatics and sexy-sexy dancers it was a true circus! Glitzy, glamourous sets and the people hanging from the ceiling was so cool. And it helped that i knew most of the songs cos ex-roomie used to have britney on loop. She looked pretty good- she's almost back on form and the format of the whole show helped. I was pretty amazed at how much i really enjoyed it, but then, those who know me will understand. I ain't called Queen-E for nuthin, you know? I was dancing along for most of the gig, only thing was i had my massive coat and was wearing my skinny jeans and a black t-shirt with flip flops. So not a britney gig-wear. Still i had such a good time, even B was amazed.
not my video, but pretty much the same. B has some wicked piccies. This song brings back B and me coasting "the lost world" in K.L. Wild times.
Well, today was a bit quieter. B had an early morning flight home and me a 5 hour revision session. Coming down from the high now but im still rocking the "someone left a cake out in the rain" song. Donna summers rocks.
Off to revise.
Puss, puss (Swedish for kiss, kiss)
