“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.”

Just missed milDRED at the Houston Transgender Unity Banquet!

DRED delivered the keynote address at the annual banquet at the Sheraton Brookhollow in Houston, Texas.

This enchanted evening was a celebration of the Trans community in Houston. The Unity Banquet is organized by the Houston Transgender Unity Committee, the consortium of area transgender organizations. Proceeds from ticket sales support the Peggy Rudd Transgender Scholarship Fund . This was the fifth year that the Unity Committee presented scholarships that were established to help trans-identified students pursuing higher education and named in honor of advocate and educator Dr. Peggy Rudd.
