Heklina, San Francisco’s Supreme Overlord/Lady and Merciless Mistress of Ceremonies for Trannyshack, is beaming back into Seattle on Saturday, May 8th for One Night of savage frivolity and in your face punk/drag-o’tainment. It’s at Chop Suey, (1325 E Madison on Capitol Hill), doors open at 9.30pm, the show starts at 11pm, the floors of Chop Suey will be filthy by 11.15pm (da bitchez tend to use a lot of messy props in their numbers; they get all Gallaghery with various implements and produce…), everyone will be trashed by 11.30pm and stagger home at 2am (or later, depending on after parties) and by 3am will either be in a coma or spending some time worshipping a certain porcelain goddess…Should be a fun night!
Oh, and for those Drag-O’Phobes out there, this isn’t your Old School Pageant/Lip Sync to Madonna/Whitney/Mariah and collect tips for charity type of drag (not that there is anything wrong with that, but, it’s not for everyone). The Ladiez of Trannyshack are more of the Expelled from School/Anti-Pageant/Let’s Sing Live to Nirvana/Black Flag/Björk and make a big freakin’ mess type of drag. It’s Awesome! And, joining Heklina in her Awesomeness will be local co-hostess Ursula Android, Sylvia O’Stayformore, Jackie Hell, Holy McGrail, Ben De LaCreme, Peggy L’Eggs, Paula the Swedish Housewife and many more, (I’m hoping she’s bringing Ethel Merman from S.F.; that little fireplug can SING!) You would be very foolish to not check it out…AND, it’s only $10!
