Life is a drag...

Where are you going to be on August 18, 2007? If you're anything like me, you'll be trying to find a way to get to California to find front row seats at the 2007 Annual San Francisco Drag King Contest.


“DragStrip Productions is proud to announce the 12th annual San Francisco Drag King Contest, the Oldest and Biggest Drag King Competition in the World and, according to the SF Weekly, "A Parade of Gender-Bending Eye Candy," on Saturday, August 18, 2007, 8pm at San Francisco's Mega-Art and Event Space, Somarts.


The internationally acclaimed outlandish celebration of Sex, Drag and Rock and Roll will bring out the animal in every attendee and participant since part of the proceeds will benefit for PAWS (Pets Are Wonderful Support).


With biceps, chests and trousers bulging, performers and contestants will cajole, captivate, charm, enthrall, enchant and entrance the audience with their outrageous theatrical performances where lip-synch, live rock, fetish, burlesque, hip-hop, rap, interpretive dance and shtick meet and compete.


"The San Francisco Drag King Contest is a mash-up of the Miss America Pageant, American Idol, Halloween and a Monster Truck Show," states impresario Fudgie Frottage. "There will be wrestlers, contortionists, Elvis, Prince and Billy Idol Impersonators, Rappers, Dandies, Pimps, Leather Daddies, Hillbillies, Homo-erotic Jocks,
Clowns, and their female counterparts. It's a mind-boggling, dress-to-impress occasion, where part of the fun is just trying tell the performers and audience members apart."


"The San Francisco Drag King Contest has inspired me to find my inner dude, and I'm half-way there" says Super Star The Indra. I performed my half man, half woman act recently at the London Burlesque Fest and received everything from dropped jaws to standing ovations. My motto: "If it doesn't look phallic enough, turn it sideways."


Mmm...I love watching drag kings perform...they're hot, feisty, and ooze sexualitity. Regardless of your gender preference, there's just something about empowered women dressing in drag.
