Trannyshack attacks and the filthiest thing I’ve ever heard of.

Before I left for my trip to Texas I was lucky enough to cough up $20 to go see some of the Trannyshack drag queens perform at our very own Backroad Pizza in Santa Fe. Trannyshack is the longest running drag show in the states- it started back in ’96 in San Fran (duh). So think of it: the two story pizza parlor crowded to capacity, the drag queens huddled in the corner of the upstairs pool room using large opaque plastic sheeting to create a ‘green room’, the pizza staff pumping out food like crazy because of the show, and 6 really really god damn tall drag queens that usually operate in far more fitting conditions. The setting worked out for the best in the end though because when the tortilla-flinging-from-the-bra food fight broke out- well, we’re already in a food establishment… 
 
Other things of note were Heklina retelling the story of exactly HOW Renttecca won the title of ‘Filthiest Drag Queen Alive’ (inspired by John Waters’ ‘Pink Flamingos’ wherein Divine must protect her claim to the title of ‘the filthiest person alive’). The further away I get from the retelling the funnier it becomes but as soon as I start to imagine what the smell must have been like. Horrrk, urg. Because we live in the age we do and because I know you people can’t help yourselves here’s a video of a similar stunt Renttecca pulled with Kim Burly. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! It’s called ‘2 Trannies, 1 Cup’ ok?!? And this is tamer than what she won the title for!! Even John Waters said “That’s fucking DISgusting!” when he was told the story of Renttecca’s victory. If you can’t watch the video (lord knows I didn’t watch it all) you can always vicariously enjoy other people’s experiences watching it. If this is all just too much for you, you can take weird but not disgusting solace in Peaches Christ who was also in attendance that night.
