FRIDAY 7/26

THE BEST OF BOYS IN LADYSUITS

Tuck is the most geigh fun you are ever going to have in your whole big geigh flaming faggot life—just pack it in now, there's no point continuing on, it's over. Swallow the whole damn bottle. It's all straight downhill from here. (Kidding! Kidding. Drop the bottle. Or share, at least. Jesus.)

If you haven't noticed by now, your eyes are clearly suffering brain damage. However! Allow me to remind you and your brain-damaged eyes: Fucking drag queens, burlesque artists, and cabaret stars have invaded every compass point of our gay lives, and now THEY RULE EVERYTHING. (Go-go boys are pushing up from behind, too. Sexy, sexy go-go boys.) Every severe queer event worth going to is bursting, basted, bathed, and broiled in a fabulous army of colorful characters, who are themselves bursting, basted, bathed, and broiling with talent, charisma, and charm—names that are becoming more common on the lips of Seattle 'mos than the lips of PBR tallboys. Names like Ben DeLaCreme, whom we've discussed at length here before. This Tuck celebrates Ben's homecoming, as, um, she's been off and away. Sick aunt. (Ahem.) And of course we want to welcome her back, as what would our nightlife be without darling Ben? Right. A great big pile of Jinkx Monsoon is the answer to that question, and although Jinkxy is usually involved with Tuck (which happens once a month now, don'tcha know), don't expect her this time around; she's still running with The Vaudevillians in New York City.

But don't despair! EVERYONE ELSE GOOD will be performing their little hearts out: Jackie Hell, Aleksa Manila, Ade—the entire crew from soup to be-tucked nuts. Live performances, dancing, a photo booth that's somehow magical (I'm so pretty!), and, most crucially, YOUR CHANCE TO SHINE, girlyman. The theme is "Surf's Up." So. TUCK IT! Chop Suey, 9 pm, $10/$8 in drag, 21+.
