Priscilla - Sugar would melt in her mouth ...

This weekend opened with another of the bizarre moments of life that remind me that, well,.... I ain't in Kansas now... and just when you think you know what your daily life is all about - well, just a twist of the world on its axis and everything is surprising all over again...

Last Friday night was Priscilla night in down town Lautoka... The Annual Sugar Festival is kind of like the easter show about 20 years ago with rickety old ferris wheels and fairy floss. And it has a terribly serious Sugar Queen competition...but on Friday night the most popular event of all... The Priscilla Night (I suspect few of the audience have actually seen the film) served up a fabulous technicolour smorgasboard of drag queens competing for the coveted crown... I have never seen such an incredible standard of drag, a riot of risque, a spectacle of ball gowns and breasts and legs TO DIE FOR! FAAAAAAbulous Darling.... and the crowds loved it.... I don't know how they get away with it!

It was all too much for one little man though;-)
