"A cock, wearing a frock, on a rock..."

What's better than finding a really great Mexican restaurant AND taking in a show in London's Leicester Square?

...going to both for FREE!

Ok, so maybe it wasn't exactly "free". Interstudy, the program that sent me over here, paid for it. Which means that indirectly, I paid for tonight since I paid Interstudy a fee before coming over. O well... I still like to think it was for free.

The night started with a trip to Wahaca, a Mexican restaurant near Covent Garden. We got there at 5, and were seated at 6:30. Yeah. It sucked. HOWEVER, the food was excellent! I got the Baja-California Fish Tacos, which were smothered in chipotle mayo and came with a side of Spicy Slaw and Black Bean Salad. YUM! Unlike getting seated, the service was quick! We ordered once we sat down, and our food was brought to us in less than 15 minutes! So basically, we waited 1.5 hours in order to eat in 30 minutes. Nice. O well, it definitely satisfied the craving I have had for Mexican food since coming to London!

Do you like fish... tacos? Ok, it's not the same as "fish sticks". But Kanye would still be confused...

Next, with 15 minutes to spare, we headed toward Leicester Square to see "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". The only thing I knew about this show is that it's theater entrance was adorned with a HUGE glittery shoe, which I had seen on previous walks through the square.

I was in for a treat. It turns out that the play is based on a popular Australian movie of the same title. It follows a couple of drag queens on their journey from Sydney to Alice. Go to YouTube to see some videos! You won't be disappointed. Especially with the dance to "I Will Survive"!

This show was fantastic. I was either laughing, mouthing the words to the songs sung, or containing my need to dance the entire time! The energy from the actors and the audience was electric. And I have never seen more skin on a man in my life. So. Many. Thongs. Let's just say, it takes a VERY secure man to do the things these actors did on stage. And it TOTALLY paid off! I would definitely go back! I have never had more fun at a show! (Even "Mama Mia"... so that's sayin' something, since I LOVE "Mama Mia")

After the play, me and the other girls from Interstudy went out for coffee and cake. Yes, I had coffee at 11:30. Which explains why I am still up, and it is almost 3am. O well, the soundtrack from the show is playing on my computer now, and I couldn't be in a better mood!

...and I would be lying if I said I wasn't dancing around to "Shake Your Groove Thing", "I Love the Nightlife", "Finally", and others. I am guessing this will continue until I pass out from my caffeine crash. Probably around 5am. O well!

CHEERS!!
