Drag Queen Photo of the Week

Miss Pru Dish ready for a performance.

Meet Mr Bassie



Here at Drag Queens of Death we thought it was time to introduce you to our cat, Sebastian: also known as "Mr Bassie", "Teeny Tiny Bass" and "That $%@# Cat Who Suddenly Bites You After Sitting On Your Lap For 2 Hours".
Although we have some friends who insist they need to bring over garlic and holy water when they come to visit if Bassie is around, he really is a beautiful cat and the biggest sook on the planet. He loves nothing more than sitting on your lap or next to you, and will follow you from room to room as you clean the house.
His favourite game is hide and seek - you just need to watch for the tell-tale "evil ears" which appear when the deadly side of the drag queen in him comes out - and then quickly run screaming from the room.
More photos of Bassie next time we run out of other things to post about.

Miss Rusty Nail's Cocktail of the Month



Miss Rusty Nails has just returned from her Luxury Liner South Pacific Cruise where the sailors taught her a thing or two. Refreshed by the salty sea air she has kindly agreed to share with us her cocktail of the month.
If we ask nicely, maybe she might give us some beauty tips too.

Movie Review - Journey to the Centre of the Earth 3D


On Thursday night we saw Journey to the Centre of the Earth in 3D. The first live action movie made in the new 3D. Firstly let us say we will see just about any movie in 3D (as long as they don't make Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 3 in 3D). We will also go see just about any movie with Brendan Fraser.
Put them together and you have a really fun, roller coaster ride of a movie. Journey is short and quickly paced, the perfect popcorn movie with laughs and adventure and crystal clear high definition 3D. Unlike the recent cartoon 3D movies (such as Monster House) Journey also includes some fun 3D gimmick shots such as a yo-yo coming out of the screen at you.
We really loved it and would recommend it as long as you are happy to sit back, put reality aside and go for a ride. It is also definitely worth making a trip to see it in one of the cinemas showing it in 3D.
Rating: 4/5 wigs.

Lost Thongs Short Film Starring Pru Dish

Click on the title to see the short Film called "Lost Thongs" starring Pru Dish. The film is a sweded (parody) version of the Australian Horror movie "Lost Things" which starred Lenka Kripac. Lenka's father Jiri also stars in our film. The short was entered into the Troppo Film Festival. The photos below are from the premier held at our Macmasters Beach Cinema.
Lenka has a new album out now. Her song "The Show" is the theme song for "Ugly Betty" in the US and the Channel 7 promo here in Australia. Click on the link in our web site list on the right to find out more about Lenka and her music.

Dr Grordborts fabulous rayguns

A must for EVERY Drag Queen of Death is a raygun from the clever inventors at WETA Collectables. We have all three models, you never know when there may be an Martian invasion or zombie uprising and the Drag Queens or Death are called upon to save humanity.

Kylie loves the Drag Queens of Death




















As you can see Kylie loves the Drag Queens of Death. Paul has met Kylie and got tips on maintaining a flawless complexion.

Countdown to Kylie


Had to do another post with another countdown - the countdown to seeing Kylie in Concert! We are going to both her Sydney shows which have been announced so far, on 14 & 16 December.

Last tour we went 3 times, and were lucky enough to be there when Bono sang "Kids" with Kylie, and I have included the photo I took on my mobile phone. Not so close this time, but who cares its Kylie - and she comes out on stage in her new show on a skull wearing thigh high boots. I am sure that's a tribute to the Drag Queens of Death!

Countdown to Cruising

We are heading off on a cruise on the Dawn Princess (pictured) on 23 November 2008- only 2 months from today and we just can't wait. The cruise is for 12 nights and goes to 5 ports in New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji. We are going with our friends John, Neil, Craig and Robert.

We have done a cruise around Hawaii with Neil and John before and had a fabulous time. So hopefully this will be the same.

2 months now to try and make sure that no-one rolls us off the ship to "set us free" whilst we are sunbaking. We'll try and do some reports from the ship when the time comes, in the meantime the countown begins!

Our latest tv addiction - The Mighty Boosh




















Although Robert had watched the odd episode or two, it is only recently we have both discovered the wonders of the Mighty Boosh. This surreal comedy from the UK is almost indescribable, but features, glam, off the wall moments, song and dance, bad costumes and beheading. Everything a Drag Queens of Death show should have.
.
Catch it now Monday nights on SBS or on DVD.

On being FABULOUS!

Three clicks in a circle and voila - we have entered the digital age wigs first!

Welcome to our new blog where we will enter our random ramblings, items of interest and explain what it takes to be a Drag Queen of Death!

More to come soon.
