Yes, we know that the next Winter is a Drag Ball is more than six months away (2/13/10)... but we have some planning to do!! With two rooms, six hours of entertainment in each room, 100+ performers and 1100+ in attendance... we've got some work to do. And YOU can help by suggesting a theme for the night. People LOVE a theme! It gives them guidance in selecting their outfit, what numbers to perform and a focus for the decorations. So, after fourteen years, we're letting YOU in on the process. Just send your idea to houseoflemay@hotmail.com. We'll accept suggestions until September 15. After that we'll get together with the Vermont People With AIDS Coalition and pick the best/most fun one. If more than one person suggests the same theme (or something very similar) we'll put those names in a hat (well, actually a pretty bonnet), and pull out the "winner." The winner will receive two tickets to the Drag Ball as well as a backstage tour/pass. To the right, is a list of previous years' themes.

Hey ladies!
I'm partial to gods/goddesses themes like "pagan pantheon," "she moves in
radiant light" (a line from a roman poet describing Venus), or, if we're
feeling particularly crude "penis de milo." I also like themes that play
with more modern mythologies, such as "over the rainbow" or "through the
looking glass."
