Drag Ball!!!

So the infamous Drag Ball was last night. Drag Ball is kind of like what prom would be if life were so much better, I think. You spend weeks and weeks preparing, deciding what to wear, then spend a few hours getting yourself all prettied up with your friends, then you go and check out how pretty everyone else is, and then you dance your hearts out. And someone takes pictures in front of a cheesy background so that you can always remember how pretty you were. And Gizelle is there. Gizelle is an important detail. So, without much further ado, here is a collection of pretty pictures I have culled from the website full of Drag Ball pictures. There are a lot of them, and I don't know most of the people in the picture, so, if you don't want to go through all the pictures for my stories, just scroll down! After the link to the album, I have included individual pictures and captions.

Drag Ball 2008

We are the Fab Five, from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I am Carson, Gwynne is Jai, Heather is Kyan (at the last minute cause Emma wasn't feeling well- we actually dressed Heather as our Straight Guy- note the signature Carson "blazer over t-shirt" and then realized she could be Kyan, too, although her hair is all wrong), Sarah as Thom (unfortunately shadowed and you cannot see her amazing boots, although she is waaaaay too butch to be Thom) and Katie as Ted. We also thought about casting Heather as Ted's partner Barry, but decided that we didn't want to actually shave her head. I am in love with my Carson shirt. It is so bright and so perfect and I kind of want to wear it all the time. Also, I dyed and cut my hair for this, so, um, check it out. (Actually Heather cut it and also cut Sarah's and her own because she is amazing like that.) You can't really tell cause the light's weird, but it is quite blonde and pretty fabulous.


Sweeney Todd. So brilliant. Especially because said Mr. Todd offered all of the many bearded folks shaves all night. Including Katie, whose brilliant five-o-clock shadow by me I was not going to let anyone touch.


GIZELLE. LOVE.


Reason I Love My School So So Much: Ralph and Manfred. As Queens Elizabeth I & II. At Drag Ball. If you're not in the know, Ralph is the President of my college and Manfred is his husband. They are amazing, as this photo proves. Because I cannot get enough of this, here are two more:


When the Fab Five and I went to enter Drag Ball, we found the door locked (because they changed the time at the last minute and it was lame but anyway) so we stood around outside SAGA for a while. We were rewarded when we saw these two lovely ladies exiting SAGA. It took us a minute to figure out who they were, and then we clearly all made this "where are you going" face because Manfred said (in perfect Elizabeth II voice) "We're coming back!" and then they walked away and we all squeed. Amazing!!
