BSU Drag Show

I went to Boise for a quick 24 hour trip. Bailey is the co president of the hall council, and Alec is her supervisor. He is involved with the drag community in Boise, and wanted to put on a drag show at Boise State to educate the community about drag, in a safe and comfortable environment. Bailey wanted to support Alec, and there so no way I was going to miss it! We would never go to a bar or club to see something like this, and BSU is an alcohol free school, so it was a chance we couldn't pass up! We had a BLAST! Bailey kept saying it was the most fun she's had in college so far! Hahaha, it's definitely not our usual scene, but it was very educational. They played a video at the beginning that explained some of the history of drag. They had places set up to get pictures with the queens. They served 'mocktails,' and gave us fake money to give to the queens, so we could get a feel for how a 'real' show would be. The theme was Disney, and it was advertised as 'family friendly'. There were a lot of kids there! It was all very tastefully done. Most of the time I forgot a was watching men dressed like women. It just seemed like a talent show to me. I've got to hand it to the queens though, they have a ton of artistic talent, and they put a lot of time, talent, and money into their shows. None of the queens were paid to be at this event. It was all voluntary, and they were all super nice and gracious that so many people took the time to go to the show. They filled the room to capacity and had to turn people away. I wish they would have had a question/answer portion, because there is so much I wanted to know, and it would have been a good place to ask. Maybe next year!

Alec is the guy between Bailey and Paige. He's been super good to Bailey this year!

Boise's first bearded queen.

Lion King

A performance from Alice in Wonderland.

Snow White

This performance was my absolute favorite! I was dying! She was the little girl on Nemo from the dentist's office that shakes the fish. So stinking hilarious!

This performance alone made the drive over worth it. I wish I would have filmed the whole thing, because it just kept getting better! 

Moana

Bailey knows this queen! She's really good friends with his suit mate.

Good times!
