We recently took a weekend trip to San Antonio and caught the fabulous shows at Paramour Bar.
Paramour at the Phipps hosts drag brunch every Saturday and Sunday, and has an evening burlesque show on Saturdays. All shows are hosted by Paramour show director Kristi Waters, who is San Antonio’s Best Drag Performer 2020/2021.
If you’re taking a road trip down south to San Antonio, then Paramour Bar is definitely the place to go. Here are some pictures!
A new Saturday drag brunch just launched in Uptown Dallas!
Tequila Delicious will host a drag brunch show every Saturday starting at 1 p.m., featuring amazing food, margaritas, and some of our favorite drag performers.
The next brunch is October 30, and tickets are available now!
Update Feb. 2022: Tacos and Tequila has closed and all of its drag shows have moved to Tequila Delicious Uptown.
After a string of sold-out Sunday shows, TNT Tacos and Tequila just announced a new weekly Saturday drag brunch.
You can now catch Mayra D’Lorenzo and her rotating cast of special guests every Saturday and Sunday. Both shows have a 1 p.m. showtime. This brunch is a great way to celebrate birthdays, bachelorette parties, or just get the weekend started right.
Get there early for the best seating, or call 469-518-7888 to make reservations.
Cedar Springs Tap House recently announced that it will begin hosting weekly drag dinner show hosted by Daphne Rio and Raquel Blake.
“That’s Showbiz: Dinner & Drag Revue” will take place on Fridays and Saturdays starting on August 14.
This show runs from 8pm to 10pm and is the perfect way to start your weekend adventures in Cedar Springs. There’s no cover, but be sure to get there early to ensure that you get a seat.
We recently made it to Fort Worth for the monthly drag brunch at The Bearded Lady.
This drag brunch is always on a Monday, which makes it perfect for those who work on the weekends (or just have extra time off). The venue boasts a gorgeous patio and some pretty decadent food.

The cast featured queens from all over the metro, including:
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!
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!
We recently wrapped up Christmas with one final drag brunch at Mr. Misster in Oak Lawn. The cast featured some of Dallas’ most popular performers and the audience definitely got into it.
For this brunch, I shot photos almost exclusively with my portrait lens, which gave me some very interesting photos that I am excited to share with everyone!
The cast for this final Christmas show was:
As always, the brunch starts at 2pm on Saturdays. Tickets are available at the Mr. Misster website.

One of my favorite Dallas drag shows takes place Sunday afternoons at Havana Lounge on Cedar Springs.
The 4pm showtime is perfect because it gives us time to arrive from almost every drag brunch in town. It also keeps the party going on those Sundays when we have guests for brunch.
This recent Havana’s show featured Kenya Blue, Zimora Lee, Jerssy Parga and Angelique Majesty — all of whom I’ve seen at multiple shows around Dallas.
This Lady Gaga number by Emeka Bless is one of my favorite outfits of the moment. Typically, when queens perform “Rain on Me,” they are vying for the Ariana Grande spot, but I think this Gaga outfit is far more successful than most of the Ariana Grandes out there.
These shots are of Emeka performing at Mr. Misster drag brunch on Cedar Springs. You can catch this show every Saturday and reserve your spot via their website (click the “drag brunch” button up top).
Be sure to check out Emeka Bless on Instagram, and her business Bless Factory store as well.
