San Francisco Drag King Contest
sydney on Jul 19th 2009
Alright, August 15 this year, it’s the 14th Annual San Francisco Drag King Contest (hosted by DragStrip Productions). This year the theme is “Surf-Saga,” and takes place at DNA Lounge. The lineup is the 2008 Solo King winner Papa Don Preach, the reigning 2008 troup Fella-Fem, and special guests Arty Fishal, Dee Dee Luxe, and the Psychobilly Punk Band.
The drag kings are rated on things like sex appeal and fashion sense, and a few of the panel’s judges are previous winners (Rusty Hips and Jay Walker). Local SF celebs Anna Conda, who is the hostess of Charlie Horse at the Cinch, along with Herr-a-Chick and Simone DeLaGetto of Harlem Shake Burlesque will also be there.
Good news: the show benefits a great cause – P.A.W.S., a volunteer organization that provides companion animals to people with various diseases.
The doors to the San Francisco Drag King Contest open at 8 pm on Saturday, and you can take your pick from the dress code: all types of drag, fetish wear, formal, high femme, surfer girl or surfer dude, bikini babe, or festive (whatever that means).
