Let's play catch-up...
Whoo! Lots of goings-on over here. Some I can't talk about, some I WON'T talk about (don't wanna jinx it), but here's what I both can and will mention... ;) :
We're coming up on my third Wednesday now at TC's. I'm having a blast! I always think it's funny when people don't catch on that I'm singing, and even an hour or two into the show go "is she singing?". :)
My setlist that first week was really fun, because I got to work on Friday, too! Forgot to mention that. Diane Jackson was out (but is back and better than ever now), so I filled her spot on the weekend. Lots of people sang along that night, too... that's a first for me.
On Friday, July 9th, there were a lot of repeats from Wednesday, naturally:
Good Morning, Baltimore
Stars and the Moon
In the Mood (a live version of the Better Midler song, lip-synced)
Don't Cry Out Loud
And on this past Wednesday, July 14th, I did:
Cabaret
Maybe This Time
Don't Rain on My Parade
Crazy
A Wonderful Guy
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Somewhere that's Green.
And I bought a HILARIOUS/AMAZING platinum blonde wig from Diane. I'll leave you with a picture of that. Any resemblance to Paris Hilton/Donatella Versace/Playboy Bunnies/Gold-Digger Barbie/etc. are accidental but amazing.
As for the coming week, I might get to go shopping on Harwin with some of the girls from work, and I've got some good stuff planned for Wednesday. At least, I hope it goes over well. ;) Come out and see the show, FREE with super-cheap drinks. 8-11p, don't forget!

I am now a Checkerboard Ch-I mean, Humpday Honey!!
Last night was my verrrrry first [hired and official] performance at TC's here in Houston. I had a wonderful time ...and a loooot of fun with my HAIR. I saw some familiar faces, which is always a delight, and met some new people (also, always a delight).
For the night I performed (in order):
Good Morning, Baltimore
Stars and the Moon
Blue
Don't Cry Out Loud
Broken Wing
Somewhere That's Green
and our finale, YMCA.
GURL, three hours of singing. Haha thankfully I didn't pick songs that took too much out of me (on purpose), but I was definitely exhausted by the show's end. But I was invited to go out with Alanna and the girls, so I went with my friend K-aos and had a marvelous time at Bayou City. It's nice to know people... that's all I'll say. Haha anyway, I got home around 3 or 4 after hitting Jack in the Box with K-aos. I slept ALL DAY. Definitely going to have to get my stamina up for this three-hour-show/nightlife situation I've gotten myself into.
Tonight is the Ms. South Beach pageant! 10p... and I'm sure there will be PLENTY of pictures, so I'll close with one from Bayou City last night. And keep in mind, this is like 2a after putting on my face around 5p. Nine hours is a LONG time to wear makeup, let alone the mask of it that we drag queens do. This is my "new" friend Angel...

How very unexpected...
...and yet, if you know me, not really. Anyway, rediscovered this song on my YouTube Favorites. There's a LOT in there, and some of my favorites have already gone offline (goodbye, "Blow, Gabriel, Blow" with the amazing dress).
So enjoy? "Unexpected Song" as sung by Bernadette Peters
