OMFG! It鈥檚 that time of year again 鈥� bah humbug!
Good for some but hideous for me! As you all know, I am Western Sydney鈥檚 answer to the Grinch.
I鈥檝e had to cancel our NYE party at Heaven due to lack of pre-sold tickets. Here鈥檚 a tip guys, pre-sold tickets confirm the number of attendees. Those numbers will confirm if an event can go ahead. I鈥檝e learnt a valuable lesson 鈥� some people are their own worst enemy, they want things out west, but when they鈥檙e on, they don鈥檛 support them. Hopefully this will not have a roll-on effect next year when we launch our new shows. For more info, visit the gorgeous website:
One good thing has come out of December for me and that was a very successful Red Party at Kaleidoscope. It was very successful considering it was our first fundraiser there. We raised $1155 for ACON West at the World鈥檚 AIDS Day appeal.
Let鈥檚 not talk about the entertainers who didn鈥檛 turn up or pulled out at the last minute after nagging me for weeks to be part of it. And don鈥檛 get me started on my drag daughters who arrived late as one decided to sleep on the train and the other forgot things at home, including her manners! I鈥檓 the mother, sweetie darling!
But I do have to say a big Thank You to all who attended, donated and assisted on the night.
It鈥檚 time to move forward and as this year comes to a screeching halt, I鈥檝e decided on my New Year resolutions and hopefully can achieve these. Here鈥檚 my list:
Firstly, no more soft drinks!
Lastly, separate myself from people who have no respect for me and speak down to me. The next person who screams at me will be given the boot! I鈥檓 just about to turn 45 and I can鈥檛 cope with these self-absorbed people who have no respect. Respect is earned and I think I鈥檝e earned a little bit, don鈥檛 you?
It鈥檚 out with the old and in with the older! I鈥檝e taken over as hostess with the mostest at Kaleidoscope social dance (first Saturday of every month). I鈥檝e also taken on the role of entertainment coordinator of 鈥業t鈥檚 Showtime鈥� at Richard鈥檚 On The Park. Also there are is a brand new cast and crew at Heaven social dance (returning February 25).
I鈥檒l keep you updated on the ever-changing changes that seem to happen in the West. You鈥檒l have to forgive me as I鈥檝e got a lot on my plate and I can only spread myself so far!
Drag gossip: I鈥檓 OK with playing taxi driver but it鈥檚 disappointing when I miss out on the action in the back seat of my brand new car 鈥� even if they were fully clothed.
Which westy drag got SHAFTed finally? After playing Miss Frigid for years! Obviously not one of my daughters!
Is there enough space in the west for three singing drag queens? Who鈥檚 your favourite?
Until next time, gorgeous, Merry Christmas and a Gay New Year!
INFO:
It’s all very well and good to offer a night out for western sydney folk, but it doesn’t mean that western sydney people will necessarily choose your even as opposed to another night in the city.
Get over it.
