sistawendy: me in C18-inspired makeup looking amused (amused eighteenthcent)
I went to the Young Lady in the Bowler's burlesque class graduation recital. I wasn't at all surprised to see her as the only drag king in the class, with a "story" all about the temptations of femininity. I could relate. Drag kings aren't generally my thing, but her natural adorability won out.

A shoutout to [livejournal.com profile] fullcontactmuse for giving me a seat at her table up front. It's a pity I didn't get there early enough to be up front for the YLB; I was late because of - wait for it - work.

We went out to the Elysian afterward with some of her school chums - she with her handlebar mustache still firmly attached. I did get about two minutes alone with her to at least tell her that I thought I'd scared her off. Evidently that hasn't happened: she'd like a Merc membership, and I'm ideally placed to help her get it.

The weather here is perfect, and my work crisis is over. Goldiebike is going to get some miles put on her today. I might even go out in public in cute little yoga pants for the first time.

Yay, even if I'm disappointed in you for not inviting me to a burlesque show.

Dude, there are lots of burlesque shows around here. My recommendations? Indigo Blue, and on those rare occasions when she's back up here from the bay area, Vienna la Rouge.

And I can totally hook you up with more. The burlesque community in Seattle is amazing and vibrant.

Here are just some of the shows happening around town.

You are most welcome for the spare seat. It was a joy having you down front with us. <3
