Mr. Misster Drag Brunch

December 25, 2020

Georgia performer Samari Starr visiting in Dallas.

I recently brought the camera to a festive drag brunch at Mr. Misster bar on Cedar Springs.

It seems like every drag show for the past few weeks was Christmas-themed, which is obviously understandable for December. But I am a definitely excited to see what January has in store (and for Mariah to go back in hibernation).

I did enjoy the Grinch costume though…

Ms. Grinch aside, this Mr. Misster drag brunch had a minimal amount of Christmas-themed numbers, so it was a toot for me.

Here is the brunch cast:

Jenni P. (host)
Liyah Alize
Samari Starr
Darlin Clementine

You can catch Mr. Misster drag brunch every Saturday afternoon at 2 pm. Tickets are available via the Eventbrite link on the top of the Mr. Misster website.

Here are photos from brunch!

Round-up Saloon

Blue Valentine at the Round-up Saloon

Blue Valentine performing at the Round-up Saloon drag show.

I got the chance to see Blue Valentine perform at the Round-up Saloon’s Sunday drag show recently. She had some great looks and I loved the rock numbers that she performed.

I hope to see more of her around town — here are my favorite shots from the show!

Mr Misster Bar

Emeka Bless at Mr Misster

December 19, 2020

Dallas drag queen Emeka Bless performing Lady Gaga at Mr. Misster in Oak Lawn.

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.

Dallas Virgin Hotel / Design District

Krystal Summers at Virgin Hotel Drag Brunch

December 17, 2020

Krystal Summers performing at the Dallas Virgin Hotel in the Design District.

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.

You can catch this drag brunch on Sundays twice a month (with Jenni P. hosting!) Check out the Commons Club website for tickets.

Round-up Saloon

Zimora Lee at the Round-up Saloon

December 16, 2020

Zimora Lee performing at the Round-up Saloon.

Zimora Lee is a great performer that I had the opportunity to see perform several times around town this weekend. These shots are from her final show of the weekend at the Round-up Saloon.

I love this red outfit — particularly how the fringe matches Zimora’s hair. More photos of Zimora are coming in the next few days!

You can catch the Round-up Saloon’s Sunday drag show at 7pm. It is hosted by Raquel Blake and Mayra D’Lorenzo, and features a rotating cast, including performers like Zimora.

Mr Misster Bar

Jenni P. hosting at Mr. Misster Drag Brunch

December 12, 2020

Jenni P at Mr. Misster Drag Brunch in Oak Lawn, Dallas.

One of the interesting things about this year is experiencing the new drag brunch venues popping up across Dallas.

Jenni P. has definitely taken advantage of the available opportunities and hosts shows both at Mr. Misster in Oak Lawn and at the new Virgin Hotel in the Design District.

In addition to being a drag brunch host, Jenni P. is also an in-demand make-up artist who paints many of the girls.

Dallas drag show host Jenni P. at Mr. Misster Bar

Jenni is not afraid to book a diverse cast of queens, which keeps her shows fresh. She also is a hilarious foul-mouthed host, which every drag brunch needs.

You can catch drag brunch at Mr. Misster every Saturday at 2pm. Tickets are available for $25 via the Eventbrite link on Mr. Misster’s website.

Liquid Zoo

Liyah Alize at Liquid Zoo

December 11, 2020

Today we have Liyah Alize performing at Liquid Zoo drag brunch.

Liyah is pretty unique among Dallas showgirls because of her beauty and range of performance types. She is one of those rare performers who can both dance and serve a powerful ballad. Liyah also packs a great range of looks, including this vintage-inspired short-hair number.

Mr Misster Bar

Lana O’Hara as Jessica Rabbit

December 10, 2020

Lana Ohara performing at Dallas drag brunch in Oak Lawn.

Lana O’Hara recently served us this Jessica Rabbit number at Mr Misster drag brunch in Oak Lawn.

Jessica Rabbit is a risky costume because so many performers have iconic interpretations of this character — including Dallas legend Erica Andrews.

Havana Lounge

Kenya Blue at Havana Lounge

December 10, 2020

Kenya Blue performing at Havana Bar and Grill

Kenya Blue is one of the drag performers to watch in town. Kenya is also one of the few girls not super active on Instagram, so it is always a pleasant surprise when she appears at a show.

These shots are of Kenya Blue at Havana Bar and Grill / Havana Lounge on Cedar Springs. Havana Lounge currently has shows on Friday and Saturday nights, and Sunday afternoons. All of the shows are great, and definitely feature an amazing rotating cast — including Kenya!

Booty's Street Food

Barbie Davenport Dupree at Booty’s Drag Brunch

December 9, 2020

Booty's Street Food drag brunch host Barbie Davenport Dupree.

Barbie is one of my favorite drag show hosts — always professional and books a great cast. We got a ton of great pictures at this drag show, which we’ll post between here and Instagram in the coming weeks.

For more show information and tickets, check out Booty’s website.
