WE WON! WE WON! WE WON!

In reference to the previous post of me dancing backup at the Miss Trannyshack pageant, COCO CANAL IS MISS TRANNYSHACK 2005!!! That means that we won!!!

So that was me dancing backup to Christina Aguilera’s “Dirrty.” I think I exposed more flesh than I ever have during a public performance than I would ever like to again. I feel so… silly.

That being said, honestly, there were so many great acts that I was witness to that I started to get really psyched out. I mean, when someone comes out with stiltwalkers with fire torches and all and is suspended in mid-air, swinging by their bare flesh next to a large burning bramble, and goes through two very elaborate wardrobe changes, you begin to wonder what kind of chance you exactly have and if you actually have one. I mean, who wants to follow something like that up? I’m actually kind of shocked.

So what does this mean for me? Welp, absolutely nothing, BUT! What it means for Coco Canal is that she gets to go to London and perform as Miss Trannyshack and all, and host Trannyshack every week when she’s not off on all sorts of Miss America-like activities and things.

It was really great to be part of something so fun. I didn’t expect a lot out of it, but really, the win was the icing on the cake. That type of stuff is just the best feeling… giving it your best but not really expecting it to go anywhere, only to be pleasantly surprised with the results.

I have to make a mental note to do these types of things much more often. They lead me in odd directions, but always with surprising and happy results.

You know what was really cool? Meeting the chick that played Joan of Arc in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

Just kidding. Yes, that was Jane Wiedlin, and I just said hi to her for a split second, then turned all shy and stupid and went on my merry way.
