don't be a drag, just be a queen.

i told you guys how i was going to alt prom, right?

well it was AWESOME. i'm an openly bisexual person* and i know who i am but i'm one of the lucky ones. a lot of people, not necessarily teens, are confused and don't have the best places to go about it. i for one think it's lovely to be able to go to one of these things and be able to hit on girls and have a fair chance of getting hit on back! woo-hoo.
alt prom was an lgbt prom headed by one of richmond's best lgbt organizations, rosmy. i went with a few of my favorite people and it was all in all a lovely evening. my pictures are shoddy iphone snaps though.

* i realize i might lose followers over disclosing this. and i want to state that i don't care. this is my blog, about me, and if you aren't okay with that i suggest you leave anyway.

left; weston. right; jack.

the gang that night consisted of me, weston dear, jenny dear, mackenzie dear, and jack dear. for their sake i won't rant about their sexualities  -- not your businesses!  i love them all deeply. we dined at 6, and headed on to the party fashionably late.

once there we met up with more beautiful friends, i.e. abbey dear.

try and tell me we're not super cute. 

little did i know that this night would make my life. did any of my wonderful readers know that i have a moderate obsession with drag queens? really. i do. in all honestly, one of my life goals is to have a complex like julie andrew's in victor/victoria. i want to be a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman. so, when the drag queen professionals showed up... i was blissful.


we all got on quite well, and many people told me i looked like i belonged there. compliment? i think so. not to mention the gaga queen. i idolize lady gaga; i was in heaven.



don't be a drag, just be a queen. whether you're broke or evergreen. you're white, black, beige, chola descent, you're lebanese, you're orient. whether life's disabilities left you outcast, bullied, or teased, rejoice and love yourself today 'cause baby you were born this way. no matter gay straight or bi, lesbian, trangendered life, i'm on the right track, baby, i was born to survive.

    Seems like you had a fantastic time and the pics are awesome !!! Hmm I don't think that followers should frown upon the things you disclose... I mean it's not like you are a child molester or something; Following means respecting and embracing all the different people around us. If we were to follow only the ones who sound and do things the way we do, my guess is we should only have one follower each. Keep having fun :)

    Hey Kat ! I can only say one thing concerning those "runaway ladies" :
    There may be many scarlett letters left in this world, but none of them spells "K-a-t", most probably IT IS the other way around (Yeah you prejudiced stuck up ....&8$%@^6%G##S... go check under the tree next Christmas)...
    Jeesh, I'm so pissed at them! Shame !

    awww looks like you had a wonderful time :) and i think it's great that you felt safe enough to come out on your blog. that's the ONLY thing that will help the movement - when people come out of the shadows and tell the world who they are.

    Lose followers for being you? Psh, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. At least for me, it's going to take a lot more than that to drive me away. :)
    Jack should be straight because he looks like a cutie. haha just sayin.
    The dress you wore is to die for by the way.
