We went to El Noche de las Putas last night at El Candil. (For you monolingual folks puta means bitch or whore.)What an amazing time. All the bar staff were made up like Jessica Rabbit with long sexy dresses and orange spray-painted wigs. In attendance were local drag celebs in whore getup. Of course my favorite queen Lady Diamond was there with her entourage.
Marilyn Monroe made an appearance for one song. And there were prizes. The partner and I won two: a T-shirt from Franc and a small replica of Winged Victory from the Louvre. As one glance at my facebook profile will tell you, Winged Victory aside from being an amazing piece of art is a bit of a personal totem for me, so I was most pleased.
This was my first time in El Candil, and it was great. They spin some amazing music, and it's always nice to see Spanish guys dancing who actually know how. But I must admit some of the putas were a little scary and in need of a shave.
Now all excited about the next Carnival event. And shit, I have to finish my dress...
