One of the hardest-working drag queens in Dallas recently hosted an epic quinceañera-style birthday bash at the Round-up Saloon and Dancehall in Oak Lawn. Mayra D’Lorenzo’s birthday party was filled with friends, family, and huge cast of performers.
It was an amazing Texas-style spectacle and a sign of just how much support this popular drag show host has in the LGBT community.

The event also demonstrated how this iconic Dallas venue has grown to embrace both drag and its increasingly-diverse clientele.
Although we’ve never been to a real quinceañera, this seemed pretty close to the real thing — just slightly more fabulous and with men in heels. Hopefully everyone gets at least one birthday like this.
Here are photos from the event!
