Les folles de Gand..

Dear blog.. 

Last friday I was in Gentbrugge, a city that lays next to Gent :).. My uncle invited me and Mic to go at the reception of the 'Dekenij'.. (a group of people who plans lots of things and activities for the people of Gentbrugge :)) 

The reception took place at the 'Vierdezaal'.. Where we always see Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet.. (Saint Nicolas and Black Pete) But this time, the lovely entertainment for a whole lot of people was les folles de Gand.. A ladies group from Gent, special, spectacular.. lots of music, dance, nice clothes.. but the best things was the group ladies, where actually men! Yes! It was a show with 4 transvestites  (well actually 3 men and one woman :D) I really didn't know what to expect! It's my first time and quite frankly I was shocked.. but also entertained! It was good, I liked it in the end.. The women were beautifull dressed, sometimes very spectacular! And off course... with a lot of bling bling, boa's.., feathers, pailletes, ruches.. just everything! The people loved it too, with lots of laughter and a wee bit of sexism :P.. but not too much! Just enough.. I'm glad we weren't sitting in the front.. cos a lot of men where choosen to sit on, our to participate on the stage! Much fun! Next year they are coming back to the Vierdezaal.. I think I will be going again! They also celebrate 15 years already.. so on the next 'Gentse Feesten'.. they will have a celebration show! 

See details on their website..
