Lulu LaRude’s Legacy

When Halifax’s queer drag icon Lulu LaRude passed away years ago, a scholarship was created in her name.

This weekend, performers are gathering to raise funds for the Lulu LaRude Scholarship Fund. The show takes place at Menz Bar this Saturday, with doors opening at 7:30.

It’s hosted by Eureka Love and Farrah Moan, and performers include Mz Menz and Mollyz Kristi Davidson, Rouge Fatale, Elle Noir and special guest from Pink Velvet Burlesque, recent Canadian Burlesque Hall of Fame enductee Miss C.

You can find out more about it at the Facebook event page.
