Dec 31

Rollz, Benz Menova, Star, EVE 6000, BOA, and Koko Starr at Windsor Sportsmen’s Club on December 15, 2023.

A Night of Festive Fabulousness with BOA and EVE 6000

In the heart of Windsor, the Windsor Sportsmen's Club played host to a night of festive glamour, outstanding performances, and a touch of unexpected "testicle difficulties" at the Home for the Holidays show, presented by Lavender Promotions and Koko Starr Events. Headlined by the sensational BOA from Canada's Drag Race Season 1 and featuring the extraordinary Eve 6000 from Season 2, this event promised a spectacular evening of drag excellence.

Act One: A Rumble of Testicle Difficulties

The evening kicked off with the enchanting Benz Menova, gracing the stage in a classic angelic ensemble. However, a quirky twist unfolded during the first act as technical difficulties—affectionately labeled as "testicle difficulties" by BOA—caused a 15-minute break. Despite the hiccup, the show resumed with grace, featuring Rollz, BOA, Star, and the fabulous Eve 6000, who stole the spotlight with her transcendent presence.

Intermission: A Breather Before the Fabulous Storm

Following a mesmerizing first act, the intermission allowed the audience to catch their breath and prepare for the dazzling lineup awaiting in the second act.

Act Two: Unleashing the Holiday Magic

The second act unfolded with Koko Starr, Rollz, Benz Menova, Star, Koko Starr (again), Benz Menova (again), then BOA, and the incomparable Eve 6000, each delivering performances that left the audience in awe.

Koko Starr: Elevating Drag to New Heights

Koko Starr graced the stage in two spellbinding performances. Her rendition of an Ariana Grande mix showcased her ability to transform from a floor-length black ball gown to a white, lace-edged ensemble. The second act, set to "Santa Baby," featured a stunning green velvet skirt with snowy white trim, displaying Koko's evolving prowess and boundless creativity.

Benz Menova: Legs for Days and Unmatched Resilience

Benz Menova brought her A-game, starting with a Little Mix performance in a heavenly angelic outfit. Despite a wig mishap, Benz's resilience shone through, captivating the audience in sultry red velvet for her final act. With legs for days and an undeniable stage presence, Benz's performances left an indelible mark on the night.

Starr: The Ultimate Showwoman

Starr, a consummate performer, dazzled in a silver bodysuit for "Last Christmas" and a Mrs. Claus-inspired look for "Santa Tell Me." Her infectious energy, crowd interaction, and show-stopping moves solidified her reputation as the ultimate showwoman.

Rollz: Connecting Through Passion and Perseverance

Rollz's performances went beyond entertainment, incorporating a heartfelt slideshow about love, hope, and perseverance. Clad in a rose gold gown and a glittering snowball-inspired outfit, Rollz's connection with the audience was palpable, making her an undeniable highlight of the night.

BOA: Home for the Holidays Extravaganza

BOA, the queen of the hour, showcased her growth and hard work with three standout performances. From a Vivienne Westwood-inspired look to a neon yellow tiger-patterned outfit and a purple holographic mini dress, BOA's journey of self-discovery and reinvention was on full display. BOA's narratives about high school and local Windsor hangouts added a personal touch, making the audience feel like part of the family.

Eve 6000: Transformative Authenticity

Eve 6000, a force to be reckoned with, embraced her authentic self, radiating a calm yet fierce passion. Her performances, set to Mariah Carey and Celine Dion, showcased not just her artistic prowess but her deep connection with the trans community, making for a powerful and empowering display.

Final Bow: A Night to Remember

As the night concluded, BOA’s Home for the Holidays proved to be more than a drag show—it was a celebration of resilience, reinvention, and the unbreakable spirit of the drag community. With “testicle difficulties” conquered and a stage filled with holiday magic, BOA, Eve 6000, and the stellar lineup delivered an unforgettable evening of festive fabulousness.
