Marybeth takes a walk on the wild side...

Exclusive report on another of MB's weekend adventures:

My weekend usually includes one night out with the "Ya-Ya's", my dearest girlfriends from my High School, Class of 1974. Our adventures usually start with sharing stories of our week at work or the latest drama in our kid’s lives. We might end up visiting the Christmas Tree Shop or head over to Stew Leonard’s on the Berlin Tpke. to do a little shopping, nothing unusual for Ya-Ya’s. Let’s face it, we’re in our early 50’s and on a weeknight we’re usually off to dreamland by 10:00 pm.

In support of one of our Ya’Ya’s, whose kid would be performing, last week we headed to the Hartford Polo Club which hosts three shows nightly featuring the best in female impersonation throughout Connecticut! We were taking in the early show at 11:00pm. Not only was it past our bedtime the adventure was a little bit more than what we’re used to. We were pleasantly surprised to pull up to a nice establishment in a very well lit section of the south end of Hartford. Inside we were welcomed by masked greeters (hey, it was super hero night), who led us to our reserved table. We got there by 10:00 so our first drink was only $2.00! There was a diverse crowd to say the least. A group of 10 young women celebrating a bachelorette party were seated nearby. The first show started promptly at 11:00, which was perfect for us. Don’t forget, we’re there to support our fellow Ya-Ya and would be leaving as soon as it was over! The emcee came out and humored us with a few jokes. We were than entertained for the next half hour with some of the most beautiful women (???) we have ever seen. The costumes were magnificent and the camouflage technique still has us baffled. We’ll be talking about that one for a while! The entertainment was phenomenal! We stayed for the 12:00 o’clock show!!

I would recommend the Polo Club to any open-minded individual that enjoys a good show! Just to let you know…our little Ya-Ya doesn’t dress in drag. He dances keeping his pants on so those days of changing his diapers, were not revisited! We love you K!
