Sundays a DRAG (a Drag Show that is!)...

Sunday, September 16, 2007
Alejandra and Martin gave me my birthday gift at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco. Although my birthday was almost 3 months ago, we were finally able to hook up- they were back from Thailand and I wasn't traveling from Chicago. And we had a babysitter, my mother-in-law to watch our Kai.

So they took me out for a brunch on the 21st floor at the Starlight Lounge...and with great entertainment as advertised on Eye On The Bay t.v. show.

Can you guess what I saw???

I experienced my very first drag show!

There was Patty Labelle...

And an older version of Marilyn Monroe...

...and out from the closet came Whitney Houston...

Several times I looked over these images of blondie here trying to figure out where she/he put the "package". Surely those were breast implants, but what about below the waist? Then I started to think maybe she really was a woman, just there to make us believe she was a man, to confuse us.

What do you think?

The owner Harry Denton with his drag queen performers.

I approached blondie on the right and asked how could she have a better body than mine? but nevertheless would she mind taking a picture with my father-in-law...she demanded that he put his arms around them...ONLY in San Francisco, right dad?

Afterwards, Ale ran around looking for places in the hotel lobby for me to take pictures of her.

And Greg attempted to be romantic in a comical way and then almost pushed me over the rail with his forceful kiss....ha.

Yes, we left our heart in San Francisco...

The day wasn't over, we headed to the DaVinci exhibit at the Metreon.

And saw actual 3-D displays of DaVinci's illustrations come to life!

We also realized just how stupid we were next to this genius. This man excelled in everything he pursued- be it art, science, math, and technology. He was well ahead of his time- in fact, we

use his concepts today.

Back at home, I made Chinese blossom tea that Ale brought from Hong Kong. Great flavor and a beautiful presentation- the tea ball blossoms to expose the flower once in hot water. I had a great day as did the rest!

Thanks Ale and Martin!

Note: Greg gave Kai his first shave today. The fuzz on his cheek was bothering him, so he gave Kai a little shave during his bath.
