Rockin’ with the Rubi Girls…

OK, kids, if you haven’t seen the Rubi Girls, you need to. Plain and simple as that.

The ladies put on a heck of a show Saturday night at Club Masque downtown, and the place was packed with fans of Dayton’s famous troupe of wild, wacky cross-dressing guys who really know how to strut in heels…

Check out the group’s website for background and photos from previous shows if you are unfamiliar with them. I had seen the documentary “Rubi Girls” film previously, but had missed a live show till last night.

I won’t let that happen again… If they’re in town, we’re there.

They are naughty, raucous, adult fun. They’re colorful, clever and absolutely hilarious. The sense of humor at work behind the jokes, satire and choreography are insanely original.

Topical? They had fun compressing “Wicked” into a nutty seven minutes that didn’t necessarily make me want to see the play. And let’s just say the Girls found a way … heck, several ways … to have the last word on Michael Jackson, who must be moonwalking in his grave by now.

Go for the dresses! Go for the wigs! Go for the dancing! Go because they’re gorgeous! Just go, go, go.
