Mayra D'Lorenzo at the Round-up Saloon in Dallas.

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!

Sunday Night Drag at the Round-up Saloon

January 10, 2021

The Round-up Saloon has become the Dallas’ premiere drag venue. They have drag shows almost every day of the week, either on the main floor or in the former game room, which is now called the “Red Lounge.”

Today we have some shots of the Sunday night drag show, which usually starts around 7:30pm.

This show had a huge cast, including:

Angelique Davenport
Chevelle Brooks (Houston)
Jerssy Parga
Macarena
Marissa Kage
Mayra D’Lorenzo (host)
Monique Norell (El Paso)
Raquel Blake (host)

It is really easy for shows with such a huge cast to become tedious, but each of these performers brought something different to keep us entertained.

It was also exciting to see visiting talent from across Texas. We’ll definitely need to check out shows in Houston and El Paso post-COVID.

Here are photos from the show!
