Just a quiet Saturday afternoon

Our friend Harry decided he needed to throw one more party before he was too old to wear heels, so he designated yesterday as the day for a Drag Barbecue. Everyone was invited, costumes were mandatory.

Now some people think a horde of gay man in drag must perforce lead to sin and debauchery, but I can personally testify that there was neither. I looked high and low, being a major fan of debauchery especially, sin is just a sideline.

Since all the gay men were coming as women, I decide to go as a gay man–specifically one of those young, impossibly thin and trim pretty boys known as a “twink”. I had the eye makeup, the tank top, the shorty shorts and the Italian loafers. Strangely, I still had to explain it to people. No, there are no photos.

Words cannot possibly describe the scene, but photos will:

Our friend Bill Ryan–his wife had to add a major extender to the bra to fit him.

Jeanne Ryan as a chic sheik

Gail channeled her inner Minnie Pearl

I don’t think he understood “drag BBQ”

Dennis and Dave.

Harry looking perfect for a layout in Drag Ladies Barbecue Monthly.

He really is a princess at heart

Cher was the guest star

I think he has practice at this.

Suburban style

Some people just go for the classic look

Something casual

Dave was a knockout as Tarzana, Rob kind of wimped out on the costume.

I’ve never seen hot dog cookies before. This was as wild as the party got.

The party is blessed when Jesus Himself arrives

No, not the most perfect drag ever. Annalise just threw something on for the party.

This is Carter.

Some guys can just rock a glittery miniskirt.

Make of this what you will

A big hat can double as a fan.

A great job with the feathered look.
