i'm entering another drag pageant!

yep, that's right!!! after taking last year off, i've decided that it's time to strap down my lace-front wig, throw on my fiercest costumes, and head back into the cut-throat world of drag pageants. this year i'm thinking about doing 2 . . .

i've also decided that it would be fun to document my pageant progress: from conception to creation to performance to crowning. make sure you keep coming back for more updates or never missed a rhinestoned step of my journey by following my blog and/ subscribing via email. this is going to be one crazy glittered ride!!

here are some pics from the first drag pageant i ever entered and the one (yes one, i was first runner-up) drag queen who beat me.

miss lifewalk 2010, brandi amara skyy, first runner-up

backstage painting my mug

my presentation gown made of pictures of those who have died/survived/working towards a cure for HIV/AIDS.

right before i went on stage.

my VERY unconventional gown. i wanted to do something different. the back of the ribbon was made out of tiny AIDS ribbons.

on stage for gown

talent!! i did a live version of lady gaga's paparazzi. the two dancers are my two best friends: jenna skyy and manny castro. you can kinda get the progression with these pics. i have a video, but need to figure out how to upload it :)

couldn't use fake blood so i had to create the illusion of it

crowing. i won: spirit of lifewalk, miss congeniality, overall talent winner (which i really wanted!!), and first runner-up.
