Raquel Blake Lace-front and center for the Big Texas Wig Off debut RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com A slew of drag queens and one fairy will take over The Echo Lounge and Music Hall on Saturday, Sept.
17, when Live Nation’s The Big Texas Wig Off — Dallas’ Biggest Drag Event — goes down, featuring a fabulous cast of divas onstage and a sea of wigs in the audience.
The event will also get guests ready for the Texas State Fair. “This is our second event there. The first was the Pride Kick Off Party,” show host Larry the Fairy said this week by phone. “When they asked us back for this show, Live Nation wanted more crowd participation, and so we came up with the theme of the Wig Off.” (Larry the Fairy, by the way, is one of the hosts of Dallas Voice’s DVtv On The Scene, and he will be streaming live with Israel Luna from Spayse Studio each Friday afternoon, starting Sept.
9, as we reboot DVtv Live.) Larry will co-host the Wig-Off with Raquel Blake, who’s been appearing in Provincetown at The Crown and Anchor these last few months.
