Viva La Divas: My First Drag Show

I've had a lot of firsts since moving to the Quad Cities. I've tried a neti pot. I've gotten busted on a speed camera twice. This weekend, I had another first: I went to a drag show.

Now I'm all for a good time, particularly when lip syncing is involved. But a drag show was never somewhere I – and probably any of my friends – would've imagined I'd be. So, walking in the door of the Circa 21 Speakeasy, I was fairly nervous. I had no idea what to expect.

If you've also never been to a drag show, here's what to expect: it's REALLY fun. Everybody is just there to jam out to some good music – Nicki Minaj, The Carters, even some Cher and Celine Dion – and the stars are fierce. The ladies roam through the crowd dancing with and collecting dollar bills from audience members (something you do by choice, not requirement).

Their heels are taller than any I've worn in my LIFE and they strut with ease. I laughed, I danced, I sang, I remembered how much I love the song "That's The Way It Is."

It's definitely a show for mature audiences, but it's an evening well spent. To top it all off, the pizza is amazing. Their next show is December 7 at 8 p.m.
