Yesterday I went to my first ever drag show! The uni's LGBT community, which I am a part of, hosted the show at the university and had entertainers from the Pittsburgh area (a few alumni and current students) and Ohio performing. I went with a lesbian friend I have made in the LGBT club (most members are lesbians).
It was an amazing time!
Before the going to the show, I just told Mom I was going to "a show" at the university, but then after I got back home that night I told her it was a drag show. I even showed her a rainbow wristband I bought at the show. She didn't question anything (I am not out to her), she really only said, "oh, that sounds like fun."
Greetings, everyone! I got back from New York City yesterday. It was a good trip!
I saw Craig Ferguson at Radio City Music hall
Visited the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid
Saw The Phantom of the Opera
Visited the 9/11 Memorial
Went to Rockefeller Center (Top of the Rock)
and went to the Empire State Building
The following are pictures taken on the trip. You can click each picture to view it in detail! I don't have time to explain each and every picture or the trip itself in detail (supposed to be doing homework), so if you have any questions please ask them in the comments section and I will respond! :)

The following pictures are of the 9/11 Memorial:
The Survivor Tree - It was located in the plaza of the former World Trade Center and barely survived the collapse of the towers. It was recovered, nursed back to health, and replanted in the new memorial.
