Now, onto the shadiness of the night. I walk towards the back of the Delancey Lounge, an unknown venue to me, and see a small line of people. Considering I was looking for the coat-check, i thought maybe that was it. I stepped in to see a small line of people, a video camera, and a dressed and painted queen basking in the video camera-ness... gushing over herself. No tea about that because what queen doesn't like to monopolize a camera? and a video camera focused solely on her?! she was in heaven I'm sure. I happen to know this little gurl (not well, but i know who she is) so I spoke out to her "Hey _______, how are you babe?" she replies, "Heeey, come over here! Come in, come in!" We do the air-kiss thing so as not to ruin her ever-so-precious makeup... i purposely looked away from the camera so she wouldn't assume that I was trying to steal her spotlight. I stepped away from "her" space (and the poor people that were in line were looking as if, can we ever use the damn sink?!) and she YELLS out to me "Oh, and YOU of ALL people should be paying attention! SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE!" Those were her EXACT words. Stunned, i said a "black" oooooohhhhmmmm! and politely walked off (I snapped a picture of her immediately after she said this, but I won't post it because she doesn't deserve facetime on MY blog.... she should be glad her tired ass is even getting mentioned this much!)
**so what was the purpose of her shade? was it because I wasn't in makeup myself? was it because she was loaded? was it because she was in front of the video camera and needed to be entertaining? This is my 1st NYC shady-queen experience in the 3 1/2 yrs i've been living here. I was gagged, irritated, annoyed, and a little disappointed. Now when people ask me about bout shady nitelife shit, I can't say that I haven't had any because now I have. Many people will say that it's nothing, or I should get over it...true. However, words are the most powerful weapon in my book and that was like a slap across the face to me... from a stranger! Not even from one of my gurls...
nothing to say except I took appropriate steps to address the situation, via facebook (because I don't know if she's a sober partier and it's not worth an in-club confrontation). It is quite disappointing though.......
And to add insult to injury, someone stole (Or Danks would say "lifted") my favorite blue fan....what a night full of shade... Glad i had fun anyway, and I got complimented on my Samba skills :-)
