Blue Cenote / Drag Brunch / Meet and Greet

Elliot with 2T’s Meet and Greet

May 31, 2021

Elliott with the 2Ts performing in Dallas with Krista De La Rosa.

Rupaul’s Drag Race alum “Elliott with the 2Ts” recently had a homecoming performance at Blue Cenote drag brunch in Dallas’ Bishop Arts District. The show was packed with Drag Race fans and Elliott’s friends and family, which made it really special. (There may have been tears involved…)

Special K Productions invited us to shoot the meet and greet photos and was fabulous in providing additional lighting to make the photos pop.

A big thank you to everyone who came out to the show and signed up for the meet and greet — here are the photos!

Serene Storm at the Dallas Virgin Hotel

Serene Storm performing at the Commons Club drag brunch in Dallas.

I recently got to photograph Serene Storm at the Dallas Virgin Hotel drag brunch.

Serene is Dallas’ fashion queen — you can typically find her in very lux costumes and expensive-looking heels. She’s also one of the few queens to put her name in her music mixes. (Gotta respect the hustle).

The bar of the Virgin Hotel’s Commons Club has gold piping that made an amazing backdrop. The amazing lighting doesn’t hurt either.

Here are photos from brunch!

Queen Duvet at the Dallas Virgin Hotel

January 7, 2021

Queen Duvet performing at the Dallas Virgin Hotel drag brunch.

One of my favorite things about the Dallas Virgin Hotel’s bimonthly drag brunches is the opportunity to see Queen Duvet’s performances.

Each of Queen Duvet’s numbers is very high concept and usually has an amazing horror/comedy element.

During this recent performance, Queen Duvet dragged a dummy bag throughout the restaurant. Everyone found it hilarious. Well, everyone at brunch found it hilarious. The poor hotel guest who found the prop after it accidentally got trapped on an elevator was less amused.

Apparently they called the cops.

I believe the buzz (and police reports) that Queen Duvet is generating will get her booked at more venues around town, and I’m excited to see her more often.

Here are photos from the show!

Over the past few months, the Dallas Virgin Hotel has become one of the best drag brunch venues in town.

Dallas icon Krystal Summers has been at almost every Virgin Drag Brunch, and it’s always exciting to see what outfit Krystal will premiere next.
