Dragtastic Blowout Unleashes Glamour and Laughter at Five15!

In a dazzling extravaganza on Sunday, December 10th, 2023, the illustrious Five15 in Royal Oak, Michigan, hosted the Dragtastic Blowout, featuring the sensational Miss Vanjie alongside special guests Sabin, Iowna, Victoria, Lex, and Emma. The night unfolded as a testament to unparalleled glamour and entertainment, leaving the audience in awe.

Headlining the event was the one and only Vanessa Mateo Vanjie, renowned from her unforgettable appearances on the 10th and 11th seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race. Vanjie graced the stage with stunning looks, a hilariously loud personality, and an ass that could only be described as fantASStic! The audience was treated to a show-stopping performance, with Vanjie captivating hearts while dancing to the fierce beats of a Beyoncé anthem.

The festivities continued beyond the spotlight, as Vanjie showcased her friendly and personable side during the meet and greet. Fans had the opportunity to connect with the queen herself, receiving autographs that will undoubtedly become prized possessions.

However, the night did experience a minor hiccup as the 2 pm show commenced fashionably late, around 2:30 pm, causing a delay in the eagerly anticipated meet and greets. Yet, the crowd's excitement remained undiminished, eagerly awaiting the stellar lineup that awaited them.

Special guest Sabin brought an electrifying energy to the stage, contributing to the overall spectacle of Dragtastic Blowout. Each performer, including Iowna, Victoria, Lex, and Emma, added their unique flair to the evening, creating an unforgettable experience for drag enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
