Flynn I study Nadia’s profile as we sit at a table at Rue’s to watch the show. I’ve seen the show before–or many variations of it. I used to work at Rue’s taking the cover charge at the door a few nights a week. Watching Nadia take it in is far more entertaining. The dancers are on stage doing a group dance. Tonight they are a troupe of five women and one drag queen, but it varies week to week. They have individual pieces and a few group pieces. Their art involves lip sync, dance, strip tease and performance art. They’re not super polished, but it doesn’t matter–it’s their raw presence that makes the crowd love them. That and the s****l nature of the show. Nadia clearly loves everything she sees. Her expression is rapt and full of light. She radiates pleasure and life. I’m in love. Wo
