You Just Can Not Make This Up

One night, there was a very famous Star from the RuPaul show performing at Hamburger Mary’s. Back stage, the First Lady of Ybor, Miss Joey Brooks introduced her to shots of Goldschläger! After the second show, this Star went back to the dressing room, put her head down on the table, and passed out cold. She was staying at the Hampton Inn, but the problem was how to get this very large person there? IDEA…. put her on an office chair and roll her to the hotel. OMG that is what happened: They rolled her out the front door, down the elevator , up 7th AVE, & to her room. They put her to sleep in the bed. The next day she woke up 3 hours after her fight left!
