The M-Shop was graced with a pair of genuine dancing queens Friday night when Sissy and Sassy performed their second drag show, “The Bitches are Back.”

The girls flaunted their hip-wiggling, booty-shaking charisma as they lip-syched to classic pop songs for an appreciative audience.

Sissy, played by former ISU student Bryan Allen, was a tall voluptuous woman with glittery eye shadow and high black boots who stomped and kicked vigorously.

Sassy, played by Jeremy Hayes, senior in management information systems, was a petite cutie in a sundress who changed wigs and characters often.

The audience was a good blend of men and women, gay and straight. They cheered as the girls danced, wiggling one dollar bills at the performers in exchange for a wink, a hug or even a kiss.

Sissy and Sassy added interesting variety to their dancing with costume changes, other dancers and unique props.

The girls’ attire ranged from slinky, sexy pants to long, elegant evening gowns. Sassy’s wigs were especially notable, including a swinging blond mane for a RuPaul song and reddish Nicole Kidman-like curls for a “Moulin Rouge” medley.

Two nimble male dancers occasionally flanked Sissy on stage for Madonna numbers and mirrored her moves exactly. Occasionally one of these dancers would act as the male partner for one of the girls.

In the song “These Boots are Made For Walking,” one dancer became a businessman whom Sassy set in place by planting a high-heeled boot on his chest.

Sissy made dramatic use of a long black sheet of fabric when she wrapped herself in it for Madonna’s “Secret” song and turned it into wings, a train and a cape. For the song “It’s Raining Men,” Sassy and Sissy joined each other on stage and tossed to the audience miniature plastic parachutes with G.I. Joe dolls attached.

Sissy and Sassy filled their show with enthusiasm and entertainment, but the show could have been improved.

There were occasional long pauses between songs and the emcee ran out of material early on. Better coordination between performers and technical people would also help to prevent the wrong music from being played again or the lights not following the performers.

However, Sissy and Sassy should be applauded for their brave endeavor to celebrate differences. They obviously put a lot of time and energy into their performance.

Organization of the numbers is sure to improve with practice and Sissy and Sassy fans will be waiting eagerly for the next show.
