Pure Parody
Last night was lousy, a veritable financial disaster. I’m tired and cranky so won’t go into the boring details, or lack thereof. Instead I’ll highlight the positive.
This came at the death around 2am, when I picked up three pretty-boys for DCM. This is a notorious nightclub on lower Oxford Street, in a quarter once disparagingly known amongst gays as ‘Beirut’. Namely due to patronage by guidos, 'roiders and road-ragers. How times have changed for last night DCM hosted the after-party to the annual DIVA Awards night, held earlier at Star City Casino.
On arrival we were greeted by the sight of two impossibly tall - what is it with trannies and platform stilletos - drag queens exiting from a taxi. One wore a micro mini skirt revealing a black G-string (resembling anal floss) dissecting waxed, lily-white, bum cheeks. Handing the change to the front-seat passenger I said, ‘Geez mate, you’re a thrill seeker...’. ‘Bullshit !’, he exclaimed, ‘I like my women real’. Whatever.
A regular gal hopped-in and filled me in on the gig. ‘It was a scream’, she laughed. ‘Along with the outrageous big heels and big hair those drag queens have a wonderful Aussie style humour. If they couldn’t be heard onstage they roundly abused the crowd, then returned to character - true divas’.
As it was the only work around I returned for another fare. Whilst waiting I was amused by all the exiting drag queens hobbling on ridiculous shoes, thereby rendering their deportment pure parody. Which seemed to be the desired effect.
Confirming this I observed one stunning blonde in a red satin ballgown split to the thigh, fall flat on her face in the doorway. Tripped-up by those ubiquitous stilettos. She got up laughing, lit a cigarette and proceeded to chat-up the doorman. What a trouper.
Well Adrian I'd say it'd take a fairly strong character to stay serious whilst looking like that? Goot alove them though. Although speaking of Beirut, some of the real women of that city get around wearing similar make-up to those drag queens with a perfectly serious face. :P
