Performance at Asian Treasure@Chasers



 
This was my own event poster I made for myself. 
Loves. It.
Last Thursday was the date of my first stage performance as well as my first time dragging to CLASS!
However, let's just concentrate on the pictures that are available now.

Chasers has an absolutely beautiful interior; furnished with luxurious satins, chandeliers and wall-sized mirrors. I arrived with a large entourage of 8 girls. The club begins to warm up with attendees.
Dee Dee Dazzler and Venus Envy is already at the bar looking gorgeous and dolled up.
I get a tour of the club by the organizer of Asian Treasure nights - Andy.

Dee Dee- Hostess with the Mostess

There's a second stage through the first door which is humongous! One day Lavida shall storm that stage as well :) I head to the changing room and add my two large travel bags to the sizeable collection of drag luggage, surely filled with glitters and wigs to the brim.


My number was Hey Big Spender - Shirley Bassey. Garbed in a traditional red Cheong Sam, a laurel tiara, a black feather boa and holding a large red fan. I ruled the stage as I threw my feather boa off to accent the beat. There was a lot of sashays and shantes before I finished off with and toss of Lavida Money!


My second number was Milkshake! Wearing a rabbit fur jacket, blue glitter Charleston dress and trashbag skirt. I started off with a special edit ;P and then into the remix of I'm a slave of you + Milkshake mashup. it was hot thrusting and hip shaking for me.  Throwing off the fur jacket and then slipping off the trash skirt in the middle was my way of expressing "coming out"




The night was filled with fun, friends and poofery! what more could you ask for? Oh and there were so many asian hotties that night. Where have they all been hiding!? come out come out again!

Loves Lavida~

Justin Hartley *heart*ley

my vote for Sexiest Man Alive 2009!


Justin Hartley!!
Talk about a hotness monster. This man is also a Superhero! apparently known as the Green Arrow on Smallville....(imagines Tom Welling and Justin Hartley) yum. He is quoted as being gay-friendly too from DNA magazine :)


I can just look at his pictures all day.
Or maybe, just tie him up and watch him flex his muscles as he tries to escape from Lavida.

MUAhahahahaa!
Try and run Justin. Try and run.

Drag Queen To The Zoo Video

Finally I've Completed my editing,and uploaded my Zoo video to YouTube here's and embedded version form my lazy wallabies.



It's got some of my best captured moments to date! Lavida is going to be bigger than Ru Paul or Dame Edna some day. Some day~~

Remember kids, i drag for educational purposes. So all this will contribute to my understanding of how the world perceives and receives drag queens and transgenders.

So please do comment on the videos. Give me your thoughts on all of this and feel free to even suggest new places to drag to!

"To Drag Where No Drags Have Ever Dragged Before!"
Lavida Loca - she gone loco.

Fashion Loves Make Up

Everyone knows how the Lady is also a Mistress of Make Up.

Creating an illusion is the core of every Drag Queens' being. And remember, I am now a Drag EMPRESS! Therefore, by definition. I can also pass on my make up magic unto others!
I am like the Pinocchio's Blue Fairy of drag. She turns wooden puppets into real boys. I turn manhood into wood.
AND
I also turn people into real models!

Earth! Wind! Water! Fire! Glitter!
By My Powers combined, I am Campy Planet!

  




TRANSFORM!

Dragalation: Camberwell market

Guess where Lavida lands herself this time?

The Sunday Camberwell Market. It is now called Camp-berwell.

I had a film crew following me for the most part. Paparazzis just won't leave me the hell alone! LOL.
Alright, fine, so it was more about their film project on drag queens. Still, I'm sure they partially wanted to capture my star quality on film.:)

I was there with my Drag-Hags (the new fag hags), shopping up a storm when this Crazy! old man walked right into my side and pressed himself against me whilst I was on the phone! How stalker mad is that?

He whispered in a low Nightmare-on-Elm-Street-Exorcist-Urban-Legends tone : "~~ you arrrrh a BOY!~~~"

ARRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

I screamed into the night.

They caught it all on film! but you will not see the dark midnight setting from my imagination. However, you will see the Exorcist's nightmare man. I am waiting on the film.

meanwhile, Me and the gang are back to shopping around, I seriously recommend all Drag and trannies and the rest of the Falling Pants Sisterhood  to shop there. They have our sizes!

WishList alert! Lavida would loove this adjustable mannequin for alterations on drag-unfriendly outfits.

On my travels there, I also spotted another Drag Queen....

Blue Eyeshadow is soo 80's, my shaggy sister.
All in all, It was an amazing trip. Fascinators, Heels, Handbags and Perfume bottles. This lady is a very satisfied shopper.
Another daring dragging by your drag empress

Aussiebum



I sometimes forget that I currently live in the land of the idolized 'surferdudes'
Girls the world over dream of that hot steamy sun kissed Aussiebum that will rise from the waves and sweep her off her sandy feet. They then proceed to have sex on the beach... then they put down those cocktail glasses...and have a quick fuck!

and then put down those shot glasses too and head into the massage room where he works out those tight knots just right between the shoulder blades.

It is truly heaven.


To complete my fantasy, he then lays on top of me...and melts into chocolate. Yum.

Thai Club

Guess where Lavida crashed?

The Thai night at Toy.
It was a loud and crowded club with everyone screaming at the top of their lungs over the bass booming out of the speakers.

I was there with my Thai girls, just being one of the girls. Guess which is the drag queen?

My friend just commented that I look so sophisticated and dressy. Its not that my girls here are not beautiful, it was just the Thai culture that tips in favor of a casual attire. I am, at the end of the day, a Drag queen. I WAS in casual. lol.

The thing I love about my androgynous beauty is that I can totally fly under the radar when needed. A convincing female impersonator is always safer than a lousy one. One can avoid drag-bashing in an incredibly drunk crowd.

However, it has its down sides... three guys approached me and wanted to bring me home. then my girls told them I was a drag queen .
In thai they call it "Katuay!" Say it with me now " Kerrr- Tuay!"
And they were even more enthusiastic, forgoing the niceties given to real girls. They started to caress my arms and pinned me to the wall. I honestly thought I was going to get raped that night. I had to just scream and run away like a girl... or at least, a convincing girl ;)


Cunning Linguist! Lavida Rocks!

Dorian Gray




I've loved Ben Barnes ever since his piercing stare met my own beautiful green eyes across the street. I was wearing a gorgeous purple dress that was backless and ethereal. His hair was in the wind, his hand gripping a silver sword and wearing a pectoral defining suit of armor. He was huge. Frozen on the billboard of Melbourne Central. The title 'Prince Caspian' gleamed in the spotlight.

It is no mistake that they would pick  him to be casted in this story. A story about a gay painter wishing to immortalize the male beauty of this handsome strapping young lad, and somehow immortalizing him in reality. The gift of immortality. All your aging and scars goes to the painting whilst your beauty remains forever.

Lavida wants it! SO all of you artistic wallabies get cracking! immortalize Mama Lavida now!

Movie Review: One Fine Day

On a movie watching marathon nowadays.

The last time I went to Movie box (my haven of rented dvds), I rented 6 rom-coms. The most outstanding for me being One Fine Day.

With Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney at the helm of the cast, it was a really well written story. Released on 1996, I had my doubts when looking at the cover. It just seemed soo....Ordinary.. none of the glitz and glamour a drag queen is attracted to.

They should have made Michelle Pfeiffer do that whole Stardust witch thing on the cover, with George Clooney caught between her breasts...lol. Perhaps that isn't what they were going for.

My Drag-hag convinced me to rent it though. Lo and behold, twas a beautiful family style comedy, fit to warm the hearts of many. Two Single parents whose kids are classmates at a preschool, meet on one fine ...Disastrous...day and fall in love. In one single day! How can that not be something to watch?

The IMBD link for my curious wallabies :http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117247/

Definitely a must watch for you hopeless romantics out there.

Lavida wants to fall in love.
fairy wings ~

Proper facial contouring



Oh My Godiva. Have I been skipping my make up steps?
This is another example of what a drag queen goes through before we complete the look. It truly is an art that I am yet to master.
