Heklina gently reminds some New York drag queen just who the alpha tranny is. Damn right. (Darwin Bell)
On Saturday night, Trannyshack -- San Francisco's longest-running, high-art concept drag revue -- bid us bye-bye. For now, anyway.
And what a night, huh? For those of you who eschewed the shoegazing/indie/whatever-thirtysomething-genre sounds emanating from Golden Gate Park lastnight, opting to check out Trannyshack's final party, you were richly rewarded with performances by Trannyshack legends. Fauxnique; Kiddie; Scissor Sisters' Ana Matronic; Precious Moments (whose performance included real-life, strap-on, gangbang anal sex-filled merriment [NSFW]); and, of course, Heklina turned the shit out. Thank you, Heklina, for changing San Francisco, the country, and the world from a quaint and smelly little nightclub in SoMa.
Here are just a few images from Saturday night's farewell, captured by award-winning photographer Darwin Bell. (To check out even more images from last night's gorgeous tranny torture, go here.)

Great show. Not such a great venue, considering so many short people having to stand behind so many 8 foot (counting hair) people. Wasn't really the type of show that lent itself to 4 hour + of standing on your feet in a pair of heels. :-(
Also: word to the wise. Anyone who thinks that because they're in a big crowd, no one will know who has the um, intestinal discomfort? Wrong. Yeah, sweaty guy, we ALL know it was you.
I wasn't down front; can someone tell me if that performer singing the Billie Holiday song was REALLY being branded? YIKES.
When Kiddie first performed this, she was branded. I assume she was last night as well.
Oh, and here's the original performance:

Thanks, don't really want to see it again. I'm all for "suffering for your art" but this cried out for therapy, not applause. It's like cheering a cutter.
@ bluecanary
The videography component, though, I found stunning.
And it was me that farted!
There's something about the pink-lit scrotum of a drag queen that stays with you..
