June 19, 2010: Julia's/Le Feux

Last night was my best friends birthday and we went to Seattle to Julia's on capital hill. It was their 21st birthday and so the plan was to go out to eat and then go see a drag show cabaret Le Feux. The show was hosted by Shannel who was on RuPaul's Drag Race, but sadly she didn't win.

When my friends told me that Shannel was hosting. I couldn't believe my luck, I had almost seen her perform in Vegas. So I jumped at the chance told them how much it meant for me to see her live in person. So they said I could come and I was on cloud nine.

So last, we get to Julia's and we were dressed for a gay night. The birthday girls were lavished in rainbow beads, feather boas, and feathered tiaras. The funniest thing was that I was the only gay person in the birthday party, but everyone was in beads and glow-sticks bracelets. Well including me, plus I had a small feather tiara which made me look, well FABULOUS!!!.

We all had a wonderful time, drinking and laughing. Surprising the birthday girls weren't getting drunk right away, but I was. But then I was drinking an Electric Lemonade which is like a Long Island Ice Tea except more potent and blue. So I had some Calamari, Chicken Bacon Mac and Cheese, (fantastic). For desert I had a thick slice of chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.

Hey, I know that's a lot of calories, but it was a big splurge.

Anyways, after many jokes about sex, penis, and everything dirty in between. Many exchanges of bites and sips of food and drinks shared between us, dinner was finished and we headed to the bar to wait to be seated for the drag show.

While at the bar, I hung out with my friends even had an interesting conversation with one cute looking girl. Hey I'm gay, but I still think some girls are cute. Anyways, we got to talking and she asked for my beads. I gave one to her and her friend. This is how she responded, no joke.

"Oh my god, I usually have to show my boobs to get beads. Once I even slept with a guy to get beads."

Now isn't that just messed up, but if the man was hot I could do the same thing.....no, I am too nice to do something that skanky.

So when we finally got our seats for Le Feux, I was so excited and chose to sit in the aisle seat so I could have a great view of the show.

The lights darken and the show begins and I am in my element.

The opening number was great but when Shannel comes out lip-syncing Mariah's 'We Belong Together' I was in heaven

OMG, She is soooooo hot, I couldn't help posting another picture of her.

Anyways, She brought up all the people who were celebrating something that night. My friends got up there, and Shannel made a couple of jokes and thought they reason they looked alike was because they were Lesbian's. It was classic.

After her she finishes talking to people who are celebrating, she introduces us to the wonderful world of Le Feux.

The show is your basic drag cabaret show with men dressed up as woman, dancing in heels with hot male backup dancers. This show had Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Madonna, Liza Minnelli, Beyonce, and a wonderful tribute to the ultra fabulous CHER!!!!!

The show was one gay extravaganza and I was loving every minute and with my seat, I got to see all the drag queens strut their stuff and had half-naked boys dancing near me. My friends told me that they enjoyed watching my eyes get all wide when every there was a hot guy standing next to me. I am so glad that I came with them and we all shared something so beautiful and special.

After the show, one of the birthday girls, gave me some cash to go get my picture with the stars of Le Feux. I don't have the picture right now, or I would have posted it, but on it I have the biggest smile on my face.

It was like Christmas all over for me, and for once I am glad I had special people to share it with.

I hope to take my friends and introduce them to the fabulous world of Le Feux on my birthday.
