from the archives :: miss usofa pageant

dallas, tx

well kids - i made it to dallas - and oh my god - forgot about the humidity! i left nyc when it was 43 and raining - got to dallas and was hit by the humidity like a mac truck! the host hotel (crowne plaza) was a buzz with people talking about the pageant, practicing their dance moves, and gossiping about american idol (of all things).

i met up with owners jerry bird and lou haskell to watch the 2 hour season finale of american idol (go carrie - still can't believe she pulled a kelly clarkson on us and beat out bo!) - and then i headed to s4 to watch the sednesday night show.

fun times let me tell you - s4 is the old village station rebuilt and cleaned up. they expanded the rose room upstairs (which is where the prelims have been held the past few nights) and the light system down on the dance floor is fantastic.

the show was fun and entertaining - i realized last night that it's been a long time since i've seen a drag show like this. of course everyone was there to help send off layla larue as she is giving up her title as miss usofa on friday. she was stunning in her mohawk - made me gag! go layla! can't wait to see what these girls bring tonight and tomorrow!

well kids - i'm off - look for me - i'll be around - i'm staying in the host hotel (1904) - come say hey!

if you are here in dallas - can't wait to meet you - if you aren't - have fun playing along at home! more later - till then - happy dragging!
