Monster Pansy Ball 2001
A bunch of us attended (what was supposed to be) an incredibly fabulous party called the Monster Pansy Ball, a disco, cross-dressing, drag-queen, throw-down, fashion extravaganza (which turned out to be slightly less wonderful than we'd anticipated - we were really the most fabulous people in the whole place - excluding the Satan's Cheerleaders, who were AMAZINGLY HOT). We ended up having more fun beforehand, and while we had to wait for a bit at a totally straight Mexican restaurant for an hour before we could get in. Sondra and I had a mom stop us in the restroom; her little girl couldn't bring herself to go potty until she had examined both of us. Sondra offered to let her try on her wig and I offered to glue a sparkle on her face, but she declined. She wasn't afraid, just sort of struck dumb by seeing two adults (ha-ha) in costume when it wasn't Halloween. Her mom was really cool, too. Actually, everyone in the place was. I mean, it wasn't as though we were rowdy or anything. We came in, sat nicely at the bar, ate a ton of queso, and tipped really well. We just looked bizarre!
This is me in my extremely amazing corset and silver stripper pants. You wouldn't think that a large order of queso would fit inside this corset, but you're wrong! I have witnesses!
I loved my hair this particular evening. It was extremely fun (but terribly time-consuming, and a pain in the butt to take down), but I can't take credit for the idea. A friend's daughter wore her short hair this way for Christmas, and I loved it so much, I tried it with my longer hair, and wrapped the ends in wire-ribbon. It feels great around my face, and I'm pretty sure I'll wear it that way again soon, pain or no pain!
