Since 1983 Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus (CGMC) has entertained audiences, traveling all over the world in the process. On Nov. 2, CGMC painted its faces and gender-bended for the “Lipstick & Lyrics: Sex Is In The Heel” show at the Mayne Stage on Morse Avenue with two performances.

Lively renditions of songs like “Sex Is In The Heel” and “In These Shoes?” stuck to the evening’s theme.

The highest bidder was offered a drag makeover and a stage performance. When it became a close race to almost $1,000 between two donors someone in the audience screamed “Take them both”—so CGMC did, making two instant winners.

CGMC Executive Director Kent Bartram closed out the show announcing the upcoming holiday show “Making Spirits Bright,” which will be at five different locations.
