V is for Vinsantos: Always Lounge; 2240 St. Claude Avenue; 8 – 11 p.m.
This month, cycle V of the New Orleans Drag Workshop is bringing you something to be thankful for: V is for Vinsantos. She’s the mistress of the dark, the clown of contempt, the vintage queen with the vintage face, and the drag grandmother of an entire fungal colony of “just okay” little drag creatures. This is the time of year that we’re meant to dwell on family, togetherness, and almsgiving. The cast will be serving you tributes, odes, and impersonations inspired by the HeadMISTERess herself. Featuring:
Quinn Laroux, Annie Bacterial, Duchess Ovens, CeCe V DeMenthe, Holden Dove, Sir Ren Dipity, Smokestack Lightnin’ and hosted by Nancy Shame,, Dede Onassis, and Miss Pageant 2017 Franky. The time is 9pm, 8pm doors and the cost is $10.
