Deaf Drag

Last Friday, my boyfriend and I attended a caberet/burlesque show. Being no stranger to small caberets, I knew this one would be different. I had been invited by my friend, MJ, a sign language interpreter with over 20+ years experience. Her deaf friend, Madame Gerry, was perorming in drag that night. MJ's job for the night was to sit on the side of the stage and sign any stage dialogue to deaf attendees, along with voice/speak anything signd by perfomers. Madame Gerry performed beautifully with great ellegance. MJ was fantastic too, her signs were clever and creative as she signed Bowie's "Space Oddity" lyrics.
