PHOTOS: “Showbiz Spitfire” Paige Turner unleashed 99 red balloons at her sensational pride show at New World Stages in New York City this week. Not only did five extraordinary and talented individuals “pop their cherries” by performing in drag for the first time, but Kit Balcuns got down on one knee and proposed to Jesse Contreras, Jr. in front of a roaring and supportive audience. Miss Turner, flanked by her sexy Spitfire dance boys, mixed and mingled through the audience, wishing everyone a happy pride. Boylesk pioneer Go-Go Harder and nightlife guru Justin Luke Zirilli were spotted, and Season Four Karoke Idol winner Dominic Sheahan-Stahl brought down the house with his new song, “Dream in Color”.
