Hey! Sorry it took so long! Just got back from my date! It went amazingly well! He brought me a blue rose, how romantic! Anyways I promised that I'd tell you more of my story, so where was I? Oh yeah so anyways I went to sleep that night, nothing exciting. I figured I'd just skip to an hour before the banquet, hope that's okay!
Aaron is in the middle of his preparations. His outfits were already in his suitcase. Aaron is just putting the finishing touches on his makeup. Aaron puts on his lip stick and looks in the mirror. Aaron is pleased with what he sees and closes up his makeup bags.
He looks at the clock and decides that he should start tucking and getting into costume. Aaron removes his clothing and begins tucking.
So I just thought I'd cut in here. Tucking is when you like… hide certain parts so your crotch doesn't have a bulge. It's not really that comfortable, and for your sake I will not describe it, but I promise you it's not pleasant.
Aaron put on a dance belt over his tuck and slips nude panty hose over that. He looks at his drag closet and grabs a stunning silver evening gown which he puts on before grabbing a curly blonde wig and a beautiful silver necklace. He finishes the outfit with a pair of glittery silver pumps. He walks downstairs with his bags and meets his parents at the front door.
My parents are pretty awesome. They met in high school and have been together since. When I came out as gay they were majorly supportive. Then when I started performing as a drag queen, well my mom thought it was great! She takes me shopping all the time! I wouldn't say we're overly wealthy, but we're well off. My dad's a lawyer who makes pretty decent money, and my mom owns a juice bar which is pretty popular. So life is pretty good!
Aaron's parents drove to Casa Loma, a beautiful castle in Toronto where the banquet is being held. They pay for parking and park beside the castle. Aaron gets out, as do his parents, and they unload Aaron's bags from the car. Aaron, followed by his parents, walk into the castle and staff point him in the direction of the room for the performers to get ready in.
Aaron walks into the room and sees it filled with several performers already. He sees several musicians who seem to be in the middle of tuning their instruments. There is one other drag performer, an older queen. Finally there is a group of about teenaged dancers. There are four males and six females. One of the females, a short haired blonde girl, is barking orders at the rest of the troupe.
Aaron walks over to a clear area in the room and sets down one of his bags. His dad places the other one next to it. He unzips the back of his gown and steps out of it and takes off his heels. At this point he is nearly naked, wearing only a dance belt, panty hose, and a skin toned bra. Aaron doesn't notice, but as he bends over to look for his first outfit, one of the male dancers is looking at him with great interest. The dancer is distracted by this sight only momentarily, as the loud blonde girl's yelling brought his attention back to his troupe.
Aaron goes out of the room when the host of the event announces that Talia Skye is performing next. Aaron goes out in black booty short, black 'buckle shoes', a white button-up shirt, a tuxedo jacket and a top hat. He performs a song from the musical Chicago before ending with Madonna's 'Vogue', stunning the audience, including the dance troupe, with the death drop. Aaron speaks briefly on the microphone before heading back to the performers' room.
While the other queen is on, and the rest of the dance troupe is distracted, one of the male dancers sneaks into the hallway before walking into the nearly empty performers' room. He sees Aaron, whom is currently getting out of his first costume, and walks over. The dancer is nervous, but still taps Aaron on the shoulder.
Dancer: Hi!
Aaron turns around after being tapped on the shoulder. He sees the young male dancer, a gorgeous brunette.
Aaron: Hey, you're one of the dancers right?
Dancer: Yeah, my name's Daniel.
Aaron: Well nice to meet you, I'm Aaron. I don't mean to sound rude, but I need to get ready for my next set, so can I help you with something?
I swear I didn't mean to sound like a jerk there!
Daniel is at first taken back by Aaron's bluntness, but as a fellow performer he understands the stressful time constraints Aaron must be going through.
Daniel: Oh sorry! I just wanted to say I think you're really talented, and kind of cute!
Aaron: Oh… well… thanks. You're pretty attractive too. I can't wait to see you and the rest of your troupe dance.
Daniel: We're going on just after your next set I think. You should stay out there and watch!
Aaron: I shall! I'll see you in a bit!
Daniel smiles and hurries out of the room, returning to his troupe. Aaron meanwhile gets into his next outfit, a beautiful pastel pink dress. About fifteen minutes later he goes and does his second set which includes Mariah Carey's "Hero". Afterwards he decides to wait in the crowd to watch Daniel and the rest of the dancers. The dancers are extremely talented, or at least Aaron thinks that they are, he was too busy watching Daniel's every move and didn't catch much of the other dancers. Daniel was poetry in motion.
After the performance Daniel and the troupe goes back to the room. While no one is looking Daniel rips off a strip of paper from one of the set lists in the room. He grabs a pen from a staff member and writes on the paper before dropping it in Aaron's bag.
Aaron returns to the room much later having spent a lot of time socializing. He is ready to leave and goes back to grab his bags. Before he zips up the bag he notices a small piece of paper. He picks it up and sees "Daniel" written on it followed by a cell phone number.
That was such a great night! And the first of many with an amazing guy! I was soooooo excited! Well I'm going to bed! I hope you are still enjoying my story!
