'Tales of the Sissy' is a play on words related to Armistead Maupin's novel 'Tales of the City' which chronicles the daily lives of several seemingly unrelated people. Since my blog chronicles my daily life and I am gay (hence the stereotype 'sissy'), I decided to call my blog 'Tales of the Sissy'.

Legends resumes
Last Sat (Memorial Day weekend) the Legends shows resumed. In case you're new around here, I perform in a celebrity impersonation show called Legends. Its live singing and dancing with costumes, back-up dancers, the whole 9 yards. This will be my 6th season doing these shows. In past years I've performed as Neil Diamond, Elton John, and Neil Sedaka. But this year I'm getting a new Legend to impersonate! Here's a clue:
YES - its Boy George!! Tomorrow night is my debut of this Legend and I'm super excited!! The songs are great and I think the audience will really respond. Here's my set:
I'll Tumble 4 Ya
Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?
Miss Me Blind
Karma Chameleon
Although I put on simple make-up to be Boy George for Halloween a couple years ago, I have no experience with doing real make-up for stage lighting. So one of the drag queens will be 'painting' me. I'll take a couple selfies in the dressing room, and hopefully some friends who see the show will post photos I can swipe off of facebook. I can't wait!!
