GAYZHA - FIRST EVER DRAG PERFORMANCE
1 03 2007Last Wednesday, I had my first ever drag performance as “Gayzha” - my final chosen drag/performer name.
Of course, derivative of geisha - Japanese performer. And being a gay performer then naturally - the name Gayzha is born. If you talk pinoy - you would also say “gay siya or siya ay gay”. Plus the Ozzies would easily pronounce and remember the name. If a last name is required, I would just say “Vu”. So it is Gayzha Vu (Deja Vu???).
Opium Den asked me to do the show together with other professional performers - Aida (who is in the field for more than 10 years) and also Sheren Sequins (twenty years?).
Being my DEBUT performance, I was a little bit frantic as you can see in my first act doing Kylie (see video below). N said that my practice were a lot better - as I did more actions, etc. I was a little bit overwhelmed on the stage, kasi! My second performance on the second show was better. I did really like Gwen Stefani’s song - Sweet Escape (which I will post next)
Enjoy !!! I’ll be off to Sydney tomorrow for the Mardi Gras!
I wanna go to the Mardi Gras … ):
I cannot wait to see the performance!
Wow that is sooo fab!
Not bad Lolah! Congratis!
Dont be frantic dahil maganda kah! At Isipin mo na lang na lahat ng nanonood ay manok! Effective yan Lola! Try mo!
i like the name. and congrats jase!!!
One word. WOW. Dude! You totally rock! I dont see you being the least bit nervous. Seriously. You took that song and spiced it up with your own flair. I so cant wait to see your Sweet Escape act! And just for future reference, dont be nervous. When you’re a diva onstage, you have to take charge and show the world that you’ve arrived. You’ve got to make your pressence known! Good luck and good glitter!
how did you end up with the name sis?
Great drag name, Jase! Congrats on your debut performance!
