If life is a drag, why not play to the hilt? Since this is the second Wednesday of the month, Lannie's Clocktower Cabaret is presenting the Viva las Divas Art of Illusion Follies, hosted by female illusion artists (drag queens, in shorthand) Alexandra Winters and Harley Quinn and featuring a changing roster of guest performers.

A classic drag show, with all the correct bumps, grinds and female impersonations of new and old -- make that timeless -- stars, Viva las Divas does Cher and Bette Midler just as easily as it cuddles up to Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez and the rest of the 21st-century brat pack. You will laugh; you will cry; you will have the time of your life, darlings.

The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are only $10; for reservations and information visit Lannie's online, or call 303-293-0075.
