Drag Bingo

Every Tuesday night, Chaos, a DC gay bar, features Drag Bingo hosted by drag queens and transsexuals. When it started several years ago, the people playing were mostly gay men. Now, most of the bingo players are straight women and a few of their straight male friends.

The owner of Chaos is quite a character. He is militant about who gets bingo cards. God forbid you walk up to him to ask for a card, because you will be dismissed. He only passes them out if you buy a drink and you must continue to drink or order food to continue playing, or he walks over with his thick Latin accent to confiscate the card. You can see him in the above picture, clutching on to the cards like they mean everything to him. He takes the whole evening way too seriously, which I love to watch.

In between the games of bingo, the host drag queens will perform a number to make some extra cash tips. This one has had breast implants, which I consider to be a form of cheating, because you are basically a woman, not a man pretending to be a woman. But regardless, the performances are usually fun to watch.

Initially, I thought this person was a drag queen, but on closer inspection, it was a straight woman celebrating her birthday by dressing up like a drag queen. And to top it off, she won a game of bingo and took home a giant dildo, or was it the gay porn video, or the trip to Florida, or the spice rack? I really don't remember as I was a bit loaded by this point. It is all a bit crazy, but always a fun night.
