i am reminded by the combination of dinner, super-rich cheesecake and vodka/cheap wine/cheap beer that my body doesn't like being overloaded with multiple indulgences at once. it should be easy to quit drinking, because drinking is financially unsupportable in new york in my case, unless my bar of choice is sending a friend to costco on my behalf. i've never gotten drunk out of sheer boredom in new york either, which seems to be a habit here. what helps is to live with a straightedge vegetarian, i got that advantage. (alas, resisting the urge to eat things such as cheesecake is much harder for both of us.) so a couple more weeks of partying, and then i'll be home, and that's it for a while. at least until some gastric recovery occurs.
the party in braamfontein is part of this series called "the end is nigh". so they have the end is free, which we went to. since they are free, they attract a lot of crazily dressed college kids. it's in a great old warehouse building that reminded me of williamsburg/bushwick house parties.
rupaul was also nuts. she performed on the carfax courtyard stage, outside, and there was a nice breeze (the nights are warmer here now). we got fancy viva la glam wristbands:
and she had a white wig on that was about two feet wide:
(photo from rupaul.com)what i learned was: rupaul is super tall and unbelievably fine. she has olympic track star arms, and an impossible hourglass figure. of course the show included runway walks and costume changes (blue sequins to pink sequins!) and diva-tastic dance moves, what else. highly recommended if she ever comes to a stage near you. turns out the ticket price goes to supporting SA Pride programs next year--saw that today after the fact, but it's good to know there's a cause and we didn't just give money to the club as usual.
