It's The Dinah 2012 Blog -- Day Two

Today is Saturday and it is a hot and blustery day here in Palm Springs. No matter, the ladies who have converged here will enjoy themselves, regardless. But let's talk about last night, shall we?

That flop was many years ago in a Manchester, N.H. bar, where drag queen shows were the norm and mirrored walls were all the rage. She later recognized the audience just wasn't "invested" in her act; it just wasn't her demographic. "Sometimes a bad memory can be a good thing," she said.
