Ever Been to a Drag Show? [View all]

Saw one in New Orleans Mardi Gras. Either 91 or 92. Perfect weather. Outside. Corner of Bourbon and Saint Ann. Mid afternoon. Actually, Drag Queen Beauty Pageant. Incredible show. Incredibly funny. Bawdy to the bone - NOLA Mardi Gras has its bawdy moments (days) No crime, no grooming. The only injuries were peoples sides hurting from laughing. Not recommended for people with claustrophobia. Other then that, a wonderful time. My good old days. We lived within 40 miles of NOLA for almost 30 years. And we let the good times roll.
