			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I first heard of <a title="Shirley Q Liquor" href="http://shirleyqliquor.com/" target="_blank">Shirley Q Liquor</a> back in 2000 while trolling the interweb for some excitement (read porn) and came across a couple of her recordings. From the recordings I was convinced that she was a black female comedienne, but I really had no idea how effed up her whole schtick was: drag blackface and realness.  Two years later I moved to San Francisco where I actually met people who know who she is. Fast forward to 2009, Shirley performs at the Russian River Resort in Guernville, CA.  </p>

<p>What could be more offensive than having a retard open for someone in blackface?  Downey pulled out an amazing 10 minute plus <a class="zem_slink" title="Michael Jackson" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson">Michael Jackson</a> medley less than a week before his death, leading to charges of &#8220;Downey killed Michael Jackson&#8221; later in the week. I felt that his number was so shameful that it killed him.</p>

<p>Bebe Sweetbriar entertained the crowd with a live song before introducing Shirley.  Before she sang, Bebe warned us that she is not the funny type of queen, and that she would do what she does best to delight us.</p>

<div id="attachment_141" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 614px"><img class="size-full wp-image-141" title="4878_114527561564_695076564_2893961_320449_n" src="http://www.dragslag.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/4878_114527561564_695076564_2893961_320449_n.jpg" alt="4878_114527561564_695076564_2893961_320449_n" width="604" height="408" /><p class="wp-caption-text">BeBe Sweetbriar sings us a song before introducing Shirley.</p></div>

<p>Although she is very controversial, hated by many groups/individuals, banned from cities across the US, Shirley is also loved by many as well. There is a <a title="Ban Shirley Q Liquor" href="http://banshirleyqliquor.typepad.com/my_weblog/audio_and_video_clips/index.html" target="_blank">website</a> dedicated to defaming Shirley Q Liquor that is featured on Shirely&#8217;s website as a way to &#8220;download or listen to hilarious ignunce and videos from Mrs. Liquor.&#8221; She directs people that visit her site to get their recordings there.</p>
<p>The one thing that I enjoyed most about Shirley&#8217;s performance was that I understood her sense of intelligence that comes through the material.  She&#8217;s sharp, funny and really loves herself and the audience.</p>

<p>I was able to get some video here and there from the show. I rudimentarily put together a short video of some really funny shit. Click here for the video : <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qculVCCHxWU">Shirley Q Liquor at the Russian River Resort</a></p>
