Two excellent comedy drag shows at Search

My friends visiting from Peru stayed on in BsAs a couple of extra days so we have been out the last two nights. On Friday we went first to see the show "Marionetas del Pene" where two men are totally naked on stage and play with, twist and contort their tackle and generally act the fool for over an hour. Comments I heard varied from "hilarious" and "brilliant" to "boring" and "disgusting". Shows how taste can vary!

After the show we went first to the inauguration party of the new bar Flux (Marcelo T de Alvear 980) just opened by Brit Jamie Taylor. There was a good crowd in there enjoying the free cocktails. Jamie told me that at this stage he doesn't intend to put on comedy drag or strip shows so I'm not sure how he is going to attract his customers; we shall just have to wait and see.

Following that we went to the gay show bar Search (Azcuenaga 1007) and arrived just in time for the show by Julio Cesar Lynch and Lissy Tagliani which was excellent. The bar was packed and included over a dozen young and very well-dressed transvestites.

The next night (Saturday) after the cine we managed to squeeze in to Search again for the very funny drag show by Walter Soares and Enrique Somebodyorother. Following that we went round to the next street to the bar W.C. (Uriburu 1018) which seems to more popular every time I go (and so are the toilets).

On both nights on the way back home by taxi around 4 am we passed the bar Sitges (Av. Cordoba 4119) and there was a long queue waiting to enter, even in the pouring rain last night. I must go back there again soon and see what the attraction is.

During the week the BsAs city government brought in a new law which prohibits soliciting for prostitution within 200m of inhabited buildings which just about eliminates every street and avenue in the city. I read in the newspaper that most of the working girls (including transvestites) have moved out to Rosedal in Bosques de Palermo.
