"Glamour should make one convulse," some wise queen once said.
If so, there were plenty of fits, shivers, and convulsive cheers and applause at the massive runway show of gowns by Mr. David (aka Glamamore), showcasing 200 of his thousands of couture outfits made for drag icon Juanita More. The de Young lobby was packed with hundreds of fans, so many that the crowded staircase had to be cleared for fire code safety.
And the stars were burning it up with beauty, ranging from local performers Dulce De Leche, Katya Smirnoff-Skky, Emma Peel, Mercedez Munro, Mutha Chucka, Rahni NothingMore, to hunks Boomer Banks, Stanley Frank, Tyson Lee, Aram Kirakosian, Saturn Jones and many more. Gehno Aviance Sanchez and his crew vogued, and Monique Jenkinson offered can-can kicks. Fabric swirled, twirled and draped.
The stellar event on May 13 was captured by several photographers. To see some from Cabure Bonugli/Shot in the City and Gareth Gooch, pick up a print edition or click to the May 19 issue page-view online edition at issuu.com/bayareareporter.
