What a drag.....
Here is a photo from a great fundraising event my girlfriend and I attended last night. It was a blast, and I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.... eight "bitches" in heat ..... ahem ...... ladies.... and I use that term loosely.... competed in the "best in drag show" at the Wilshire Ebell theater. It was a fundraiser for Aid for AIDS and an event honoring it's creator Alexis Pittman - who passed away from AIDS in 1999.
Ms. Florida - Sunny Delight was crowned the winner, Ms. New York - Eatin Disorder was the runner up, and other contestants were: Ms. California - Amber Alert, Ms. Minnesota - Malla America, Ms. Vermont - Mabel Syrup, Ms. Texas - Anita Longhorn, and Ms. Hawaii Aloe Ha. Celebrity judges included in the photo: John C. Reilly, Terri Garr, Kathy Griffin, Caroline Rhea, and Sarah Chalke.
In total the event raised over $125k for the charity. If you are interested in donating to a great charity, who actually does good work for a community - please consider giving a gift to Aid For AIDS, and make it in honor of Alexis Pittman. You can donate by going to their website. The link is above. Thanks for reading my post, and considering giving a gift to a great AIDS charity.
Alexis we all miss you......
Posted by sharky the kid at October 13, 2003 09:38 PM | TrackBackGreat pic...but might want to put up a resized one that links to the bigger one instead...it's causing the right sidebar to go all wonky. :)
Looks like it was fun. :)
Posted by: Mike at October 13, 2003 10:43 PMHey Sharky! Awesome picture! I fixed the size of the photo so it doesn't make the sidebar all wonky (as Mike put it).
Hope to see you sometime in the next milennium,
Stranger!
Looks like it was tons of fun Sharks :) I had a friend who did the AIDS walk here in MI...gave her money for it ;) When I was younger, I had met someone who had AIDS, and it always brought tears to my eyes to know how strong he had to be while watching his friends pass on around him.

[Can you tell I've been a huge fan of drag ever since I did four years of theater in high school and watched too much Monty Python?]
