World Ballet Day

Oops, I'm late in posting this, as World Ballet Day was October 4. In honor of the occasion, how about a couple of new pics of dancer Chase Johnsey (aka Serenity Lopez or Yakatarina Verbosovich)?

Sometimes you wanna be Grace Kelly for a day :) #drag #dragqueen #gown #wig #makeup #jewelry #gracekelly #gay #rpdr

Dixie update

It may be my imagination, but it appears that Dixie Lynn Cartwright has toned down the eye makeup and acquired some lovely new wigs and dresses.

She's more beautiful than ever.

When in doubt, touch that growth on your neck and smile.

All-Male Theatrical Productions

I've been reading about all-male theatrical productions, which often feature the work of William Shakespeare. That's unsurprising as it basically reflects an attempt to produce the Bard's work in a way consistent with its original form.


The Washington, DC, Shakespeare Theatre Company is a prominent center for all-male productions. Here are a few pictures from their recent staging of "Taming of the Shrew."
