Lurleen is fifty.




Our dear friend Lurleen Wallace recently turned 50 years.

We decided to honour her fabulousness with a five course meal spanning five countries, and five decades.

Additionally, each plate was to take the form of a contestant in a drag pageant, each representing their place of origin.
