Carmen Plays Drag Queen Bingo

June 5 2015


I has been sometime since my last adventure but I am happy to say that I back in SWFL and ready for my next adventure!

A few weeks ago I got invited to attend a fundraising event by my friend Eryka. In August she is having an event for WWII veterans and was having this fundraising event so she can honor these veterans at no cost to them. So how could I turn down an invite for such a worthy cause????

The problem for this cannoli was I had no idea what Drag Queen Bingo was…if fact what is a Drag Queen… now don’t laugh…back in my little village I have never seen a Drag Queen but I must admit the ladies from where I come from do have the same fashion sense as these two ladies did!

We do not play much bingo in my village as pinochle is much more popular. They tournaments that last for days. However I have played bingo before so at least that would be familiar to me. Thank goodness though that many other friends were also there! Karyn Brooks was celebrating her 50th birthday. She looks good for 50!!! So altogether there were about 12 of us who wanted to help Eryka out…. And do some celebrating.

It was a real joy and delight to meet Bootsey Cloverdale and Lady Licious our hostesses and Bingo gals for the evening. I can’t recall the last time I have seen so much bling on one person…and we all know how much I love my bling! Both ladies were gracious enough to pose for pictures with me! I wonder who does their makeup and those wigs…wow!!!!
