We’re still buzzing from the glitz, glamour, fabulosity, music, dancing and festivities in celebration of the iconic legacy of Sylvester James, the “Queen of Disco,” at Nellie’s last Sunday. The special edition Sunday brunch disco party was hosted by Shiqueeta Lee and the ladies of Drag City DC. The big hair, costume changes, dance sequences, make-up, platform heels and bling came together for a flawless presentation.
As soon as brunch concluded, the deejay kicked off the Mighty Real: Greatest Dance Hits celebration with timeless classics. Moments later, the audience attention was focused on numerous engaging performances with complex dance sequences, costumes and over the top personalities. Shiqueeta Lee’s jaw dropping performance included a impromptu sashay out of Nellie’s and into U Street traffic. Yes, traffic! Vehicles stopped in all directions so drivers could grab their camera phones to capture the moment. How often do you see someone dancing in the middle of the street with fire red hair and a sexy white bodysuit on Sunday? Never. Shiqueeta channeled Sylvester James’ fearless spirit during this show!
We felt the excitement level rise when Shiqueeta Lee challenged the audience to a Sylvester Mighty Real dance contest. The winner received the Sylvester Mighty Real: Greatest Dance Hits album and tips (wink wink) from admirers and onlookers. The party proceed with the crowd dancing to Sylvester hits and lip syncing their favorite lyrics. The legacy of Sylvester James is alive and will continue to live on.
We would like to acknowledge Shiqueeta Lee for coordinating the stellar live show and Vanhook Productions LLC is truly an entertainment icon in Washington, DC. The ladies of Drag City DC are gorgeous, hilarious and never boring! Special thank you to Oscar, Management of Nellie’s, for ensuring the smooth execution of events throughout the day.
