Our first evening in Palm Springs was spent by the pool with wine, cheese and biscuits. However, on the second night it was time to venture downtown for dinner and to check out the local night life. After wandering the streets we were attracted to a restaurant that had a lot of music, and sounded as though everyone was having a lot of fun. At the front of the restaurant/bar there were a number of what looked like outdoor settings,(table with bench either side) that were actually swings, and of course there was lots of Misting!!! The menu looked ok!!Sold!!
We settled ourselves into one of the swinging seats, and then a very attractive young man, in a blonde wig, slinky black dress and runners wandered over serve us. He looked very unconfortable in his outfit. He informed us that tonight there was a concert to raise money for a local charity, and that all the staff had to do a number.
The meal was great and we could hear a lot of music, and clapping in the next room. After dinner I went to toilet, and to my surprise when I walked into the next room "Tina Turner" was there belting out a rendition of "Nutbush City Limits".
Glasses of wine in hand, we moved to joing the crowd (mainly gay couples, all dressed in drag) in the next room. What a concert, great costumes, lots of attitude and a couple of very good singers. To finish the concert off, they had a guest singer, who really could sing. She belted out a great rendition of "I don't want to go to rehab" (I think that is what it is called). A great nights entertainment!!
It was time to wander home. After a midnight swim to cool off, we headed to bed, to prepare for another hectic day in Palm Springs.
