Queen of the Night

Shawn, Ben and I went to an event called Queen of the Night. A performance art dinner theater burlesque cirque de soliel type thing. Gala attire required.

When we first arrived a transsexual took Shawn and me out of line and asked us to follow him. Leaving Ben behind in the line.

He brought us down a hall. Handed us shots and said... Everything is free. I took these from the bartender for you.

Then used a butt plug to rub down the front of Shawn's chest and grabbed hand cuffs. I was a bit scared he would hand cuff us together, but he didn't.

Said the key to an amazing evening is to be nice. To the performers. To each other. And to yourself. He handed us a bowl of candy... One each. And adorned our faces with a jewel.

He took us down a hall. And left us to look at the queen. And another guy handed us cocktails.

So 3 minutes in, I was already on the way to buzzed! My cocktail was tomato and basil ... Like pizza vodka, Bloody Mary-ish, but clear and infused. Also had some sips of lemon rosemary, sage and blood orange. Wine with dinner. 

We found Ben having a dance from a woman while looking into a mirror. Later Shawn was taken away to have a pole dance. And Ben was stolen again and electrocuted on the wrist, with the guy who ended up being our host... Who I swear I've met before. Maybe a friend of Bernard's?

Dinner was fascinating. The performers each came with a tray or cage. Each table was served a different thing. We had standing rib roast and au grautin potatoes. Other tables had lobsters, paella, suckling pigs. You were meant to trade what you had with other tables to create the feast. We tried almost everything we could find. 

The performance was quite cool... A burlesque circus meets performance art, with a story like of a new queen being groomed for the crown, or something. 

Dessert was a chocolate layer cake. Each performer had a cake and a bowl of soup spoons. You walked up to them and they served you a spoonful. It was delicious and a fun way to end.
