Things You’ll Never Hear in a “Straight” Bar
Posted by Jenny on 07/30/08 in Boston, Daily, Friends, Photos, SD1000, Video
“GIRL! You are looking FIERCE tonight!” (Man to a man.)
“Go ahead. Touch my butt!” (Man to a girl.)
“I wish I had the legs for that mini dress. Sigh.” (Man to a woman.)
“Ohh give me that yummy gin lemonade drink with extra fruit. HAY!” (Man.)
“I LOVE showtunes.” (Everyone.)
Showtune Tuesday at dbar for Andy’s birthday was a time and a half. There are few places you can get together with a group of people and sing your heart out to Wicked, Little Shop of Horrors, Moulin Rouge, Cabaret, Chicago, Miss Saigon, Hairspray, etc and have everyone around you know all the words too.
Here’s a few pics and video if I need to further convince you locals to head over to dbar …
Danielle, Me, Sarah, and birthday boy Andy … I’ve known these people for decades (plural).
Me (looking a little Tranny-ish) with the South End crew. GIRLS!
Believe it or not, about a decade ago, this was me. Red hair? Check. Pearls? Check. Cat ears? Check.
This is Showtune Tuesday VJ/DJ Ryan trying to look official as I crash his booth. I went to high school with Ryan which makes it my right to crash his booth.
And finally … Vide-oh!
(Note: these are all REALLY dark. The lighting in dbar is ROMANTIC. And by romantic I mean not conducive to video taking … and probably for good reason.)
A really crappy dark “vlog” from the beginning of the night.
A couple drinks in singing some Moulin Rouge …
And finally … you try to not dance and bop around while listening to this little ditty.

I don’t think you look really trannyish. You look like you’re wearing a mask of you smiling. It’s the same face every shot.
