Leslie Hall-Keeper of the Gems

I CAN'T WAIT!!! She is awesome. I hope she brings her BeDazzler.

I want to donate a sweater. If I don't find one by then, I'll be sick, sick, sick. Ooooooo La La.

maybe we can MAKE one!!!

We would have to rescue an authentic 80's sweater first.

I don't have a Bedazzler :( I love how on Ring a Ding Ding, she tells the Bedazzler people that she can sell Bedazzlers to people who don't need them, can't afford them and don't have food on the table.

i know... there is another video of hers that is hilarious... i'm gonna see if i can find it and post it here.

let's see if this works:

Beat Dazzler

Oh God. I love the glasses that shade in the sun :)

Fearless that girl.

And above should have been "Ring My Bell."

More info: The show will be held in the Red Room at Hal & Mal's on April 25, 2007 (unless we expect a massive crowd -- which is possible). It will start around 9pm. Doors will open at 8pm. Cover is $5.

Andi, Beatdazzler was my first introduction to Leslie. Love it! When we saw she was touring, Duane and I jumped at the opportunity to bring her bedazzled goodness to Jackson.

The SPQ's may have found a competitor in Leslie Hall for all things exaggerated and sparkly. I think her use of a keytar puts her in the lead. ;-)

Knol, that's awesome, thanks for bringing her here!! I agree -- anybody is instantly cooler if they get their hands on a keytar!

Here's an article from the Advocate that I just stumbled upon coincidentally.

Knol. will she have her art exhibit?

I'll check... I'm thinking she's not on tour with it (because the RV is on its last leg) but will confirm.

I know everyone's wrapped up in the Melton Saga but wanted to remind everyone that Mother Gem, Leslie Hall, will be at the Red Room tomorrow night. 9pm. $5. Seriously, you won't want to miss this.

She's also appearing on MTV's TRL today.

Emily, you missed one of the best live shows I've seen in a while! Leslie rocked the Red Room. Don't worry though... We're already talking about bringing her back.

The crowd (nearly 140 people on a Wednesday!) was one of the most diverse crowds I've seen at a single show. There were business men in suits, Josh Hailey in gold spandex, indie rockers, queers, and hipsters.

There was even a gem sweater present! Leslie tortured its owner and then gave her an official Gem Sweater Museum certificate.

Joosy even got on stage and filled in for one of the Lys during the encore.

Hate you weren't able to make it. I'm sure Andi will tell you all about it.

AHHHH it was the best time ever!! I have pics and things that will go up on my ... ahem... blog soon. It was good to see you Knol... sorry we didn't get to chat more. I told one of the Lys they HAVE to come back and she was enthusiastic. It would be awesome if we could get them back for Chick Ball '08?

Andi, they're booked for several weeks... They're definitely coming back. We've already talked to them about OUToberfest (in October) but they may come through before then. I could watch that show over and over and never tire of it.

I think Joosy should be hired as a Ly! I certainly OD'd on gold spandex last night.

me too!! well i was thinking of Chick Ball next year, since I knew she was busy and booked up this time. I could also watch that show over and over, and I brought 4 "Gem Sweater virgins" with me last night, they are believers now!!

Shameless self-promotion: Jackson Girl

LOVE IT!

I saw the post-show entertainment and it CRACKED ME UP! W.R.O.N.G.

Josh and Leslie...

i tried to fix that link for you but i'm interweb-challenged. i did watch it though... i didn't remember her falling down toward the end, that was funny!!

Hope to catch her another time Knol. I had some emergency family business to handle. :(

Pictures are great.
