“Well, if it makes the point, it’ll be worth it.” We settled down to busi- ness pretty quickly after that.

I started out doing makeup. I’d gotten pretty good at it if I do say so, and my friend in the drama department had loaned me three wigs.

I did Joe first, then Eddie, then I did my own face. I think Joe was the biggest surprise to me. He has one of those broad, slightly blank faces that looks like the sort of guy you might picture as a life- guard or a boxboy. Definitely nothing special. But put some eye makeup and lipstick on him and with a blonde wig he really looked terrific. Then Joe opened the box. First he took out three flat cellophane envelopes.

“What’s that?” I asked. “Pantyhose,” he said.

“Gee,” I said, “1 always thought they came in plastic eggs.” “You,” said Joe, looking me up and down, “got no class. None at all.” “I think you suit yourself,” stuff?”

Watching the “girls” get it together

before the show is fascinating indeed. The

paint, powder and glitter transforms

ordinary guys like Causha Lee into the most dynamic creatures, whose many

different looks keep you wondering how

many impersonators are in the show.

With great beauties such as Amanda

Winters and Shalei, the audience

lohispers amongst themseloes, trying to

convince one another of the true, genders

of these sensuous creatures. All in all.

It’s truly a wonderful way to spend an

evening with friends and family, just

watching a very professional show, and the expressions on some very shocked

faces!

Shoios are Wednesdays through

Sundays, loith two or three shows

nitely. Reservations are advised, and

considering the loaiting line between

shoois, we suggest an early arrioal.
