Accidental Groupie

Jungle Red produced by All Gay Frat House is an all drag queen production of the musical adaptation of the all-female cast, classic film, The Women. The bar is set. If you'd like create the gayest show in the world your work is cut out for you.

I went to see this show in San Francisco because if you don't see at least one drag show while visiting this town they don't let you come back. And because it stars Varla Jean Merman, love child of the eight-day long, annulled marriage of Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine. That's Varla's story and she's sticking to it.

Quite by chance, every time Carson and I hang out, Varla has a show. I've seen her five times in New York, San Francisco and Provincetown. I never intended to be a drag queen fan boy ... it just happened. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

My reluctant fan status notwithstanding, any chick who can yodel while downing a whole can of spray cheese gets a hearty thumbs up from me ... and maybe a little tongue.
