Many of us have laughed at the American remake of this film titled Birdcage with Robin William and Nathan Lane. But, the original french version is always heralded as much funnier. Come see for yourself. English subtitles for this one.
On Tuesday, August 24, many of Vallarta’s gay bars sent representatives to Paco’s Ranch for SETAC’S ”Manager’s Show”. At this event, employees from each bar did numbers in drag to help raise money for the many programs at Vallarta’s GLBT community center. Participating from Frida’s this year was bartender Mario. He’s the tall one, dressed as Frida Kahlo, below. His performance was a show-stopper. Simply terrific. (note: Mario and his gang are professional dancers since childhood, can ya tell?)
Free Popcorn! Cheap drinks. Cold Beer! A 25 peso suggested donation benefits VES. Don’t miss it! This week with more speakers– improved sound. Last week we raised over 2300 pesos for VES! GOOD JOB!
Synopsis:
Hedwig, born a boy named Hansel in East Berlin, fell in love with an American G.I. and underwent a sex-change operation in order to marry him and flee to the West. Unfortunately, nothing worked out quite as it was supposed to – years later, Hedwig is leading her rock band on a tour of the U.S., telling her life story through a series of concerts at Bilgewater Inn seafood restaurants. Her tour dates coincide with those of arena-rock star Tommy Gnosis, a wide-eyed boy who once loved Hedwig… but then left with all her songs.
