kittens, last night i wrapped myself in faux fur and boogied on down to the eleven club in west hollywood for the premiere party of rupaul's drag race, season 4.
ballgowns, bouffants, and bustlines were on fabulous display. styles ranged from harajuku cabaret to barely-there bodysuits. cameras clicked, flashes popped, and glitter flew.
i happily landed on the pink carpet with season 3 winner - raja! the reigning queen wore a stunning tangerine gown, sparkling jewels, and a flawless face. raja truly embodies the art of drag and it was an honor to stand alongside her majesty.
oh, and she's tall. very tall. granted, i'm super short. we took advantage of our vertical differences and struck this big-sister/little-sister pose.
later, i wept with joy.
{thank you, lina lecaro for inviting me!} {i dedicate this post to thombeau and laine.}

I am so jealous that you were there! Did you meet Ru?

I don't think they will ever be able to top Raja. I mean, c'mon. She was an artist, a model, a genius and fiercer that anybody on that show ever. It's like Christian Sirano and Project Runway. They can't get better than the best.

I knew you would work it last night baby!

This makes me so happy! All is well in the world. I only want to add that the proper phrasing would be "Raja met ME!", because you are FABULOUS and I'm sure s/he absolutely LOVED you!
As do I! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Gasp! You were touched by an angel!
