RuPaul’s Drag Race legends Alyssa Edwards and Shangela were in full-on Bob Hope mode earlier this week, when they played a gig a U.S. military base in Amman, Jordan.
“Just arrived in Amman, Jordan for a very special private performance tomorrow,” wrote Shangela on Instagram. “So very thankful to take drag around the world, even into regions where it may not be fully accepted. Representing love and peace and all things Fabulous!”
“Halleloo pool view in Amman!!! Taking a moment today to relax before private show tonight,” wrote Shangela. “Sending love to all our fans here. We had no idea we have so many Drag Race lovers in Amman!?!”
“Sending u lots and lots of LOVE. Due to our tight schedule (and of course in respect to the observance of Ramadan) we won’t be able to do a public meet-up, however please know that we LOVE you and hope to come back again. Stay Fabulous!!”
Making our country proud!
