SYLVIA O'STAYFORMORE DROPS HER CD

I think we can all agree that Seattle is currently experiencing a golden age of drag queens. A drag explosion! A wiggy renaissance! Scientists estimate that there are roughly infinity-bajillion fucking queens roaming the streets (and lurking in the alleys and parking lots) of Seattle these days, new and ancient, ranging in skill and talent from world-class to who? When numbering the most beloved among them, it is important never to forget our good friend Sylvia O'Stayformore: local drag legendess, Bacon Stripper, professional Tupperware saleswoman (no! Really!), bingo caller, and now (and most importantly here) recording artiste! Yes, your eyes just heard that correctly: Sylvia has "dropped" (as the kids say) her very own CD (they still make those?), cleverly titled Songs from a Broad. (Geddit?!) It features lots of songs from her glorious Sylvia and Tor days, and tonight is the release party at Pony. Sylvia will be on hand, of course, Honey Bucket and Jackie Hell will be performing (always such a delicious and slightly disturbing treat!), and a tidy stack of the CDs will be available for all of your buying them needs. Pony, 9 pm, free, 21+.

LAGANJA ESTRANJA COMES FOR YOU

Speaking of drag queens (and aren't we always? Like, ALWAYS?), we are deep in the thick of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 6 (BEN! BEN! BEN! WOO-HOOO!). The cast this season is freakishly delightful, and R Place has recently brought several of the queens to town (except Ben, of course, whom they technically can't bring to town, because, like, she lives here already and junk). So far, we've met the amazing and adorable Milk (call me!), Alyssa Edwards and her famous back rolls from Season 5 (#BACKROLLS!), and Shangela (Seasons 2 AND 3, she's so damn good). And tonight they bring one of my current season most favoritest after Ben (which I reserve the right to change at any time), the lady Laganja Estranja herself! She'll be headlining with the usual cast of Lashes, R Place's signature drag show, with Lady Chablis and Robbie Turner, and there are even VIP tickets available, to make sure you get up nice and close. R Place, 9:30 pm, $12/$25 VIP, 21+.
