Rehearsals and Drag Cleaning

My poor little feet and body!

After a full day at work in the call centre and then rehearsals after, my body is konked out!

Soon I'll be back in the swing of things though. Rehearsals and new shows are in the forefront of my mind at the moment, having two birthday party shows tomorrow night, followed by my first night performing for the Stonewall Hotel crowd with spot shows.

I must admit I'm a bit nervous about the shows at Stonewall. I've performed many thousands of spot shows before (literally!), but I guess when I have not performed for the crowd there at Stonewall since I first started drag in 2000, butterflies are to be expected.

Song selection of course is all important, but then so is consolidation! I can't take 7 costumes to three venues after all - I'll need a wardrobe on wheels if I do that! So I plan to spend the morning preparing my travel case, shopping and last minute rehearsals for the evening's activities.

My lovely boyfriend is spot-cleaning one of my favourite outfits that I somehow managed to get grubby. He seems to always be able to get marks off anything, whether it be carpet, clothes or costumes!

He has already come out now and shown me where the big, dirty, jet-black mark on my otherwise pristine white costume was previously! All gone!

God I love that man!

I knew there was a reason why I keep him around... (*snigger*)

I can't say enough for the need for boyfriends and Preen Super Soap (The Great Unstainer!).

Well, I should really organise some food and head off to bed - it's a big day ahead tomorrow.

Until then.. Look after your family, friends, and yourself!
