In a fabulous spin-off of TV’s Dancing with the Stars, we had ““Dancing with the Drag Queen Stars” featuring the TV show’s award-winning dancer Cheryl Burke herself as celebrity judge alongside Hollywood comic legend Bruce Vilanch and local drag celebrity Bebe Sweetbriar. Donna Sachet emceed this ballroom meets dance club event at the beautiful Cheryl Burke Dance flagship ballroom studio at 1830 17th Street. “Women in ballroom have been dressing like drag queens for years,” explained producer Patrik Gallineaux, “and I have long suspected SF drag queens can hold their own on the ballroom floor.” Patrik was sexily outfitted in a clingy, deep-cut, high-rise silver one-piece topped with a high high headdress of silver feathers.
