The 12th Annual SAN FRANCISCO DRAG KING CONTEST Announced
The Biggest Drag King Competition in the World
to benefit P.A.W.S. - Pets Are Wonderful Support
June 27, 2007, SAN FRANCISCO, CA - 12th annual San Francisco Drag
King Contest, produced by DragStrip Productions, the biggest and longest
running Drag King Competition in the World and, according to the San
Francisco Weekly, "A Parade of Gender-Bending Eye Candy," will take
place 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 as part of the proceeds will benefit for
PAWS (Pets Are Wonderful Support).
"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. "We have every kind of drag from suits to
fruits; studs to puds -- Everything from Elvis impersonators to Leather
Daddies, Wrestlers, Contortionists, Hillbillies, Clowns, Jocks, 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."
Considered to be "One of the most boisterous parties of the year," by
the San Francisco Chronicle, and "Dripping and swaggering with machismo"
by the San Francisco Weekly, the San Francisco Bay Guardian also states,
"Prepare to be amazed by the variety, astounded by the veracity, and
properly impressed by the figurative and literal balls on display."
Virile Virtuoso, Fudgie Frottage, "The Man with The Biggest Balls in
Show Business," and Internationally Renowned Burlesque Chanteuse, Comic
and Siren, The Indra, as "The Indro vs. The Indra", a bi-sexual,
bi-polar, half male, half female character, will preside over the
festivities as Masters (and 1/2 Mistress) of Ceremonies.
The star-studded event will showcase Buck Naked, winner of the 2006
Solo King Category for his dapper style and scandalous dancing girls,
The Slickk Bois, 2006 troupe winners for their provocative boy band
choreography, gender illusionist Arty Fishal and the live, hip hop group
The Momma's Boyz. In addition, rock band Wood, voted "Best of The Bay
for 70's anthems and facial hair" by the San Francisco Bay Guardian,
will also perform. And - as always - the gender bending contestants will
be the center of attention.
With contestants baring such monikers as L. Ron Hubby, Seimen Marcus,
Papi Cock, and Sherwood Suck, expect an evening of hilarious
entertainment and 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 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."
Contestants are judged on talent, creativity, studliness, sex appeal,
originality, humor, make-up/facial hair and fashion by the illustrious
panel of nationally known celebrity judges, including 2005 Drag King and
2004 Mr. Trannyshack Jay Walker, Simone DeLaGhetto of Harlem Shake
Burlesque, Sister Roma of Hot House Video, and special guest Animal,
(formerly of the internationally-known musical duo, Bitch and Animal).
