drag race 2010
While the Triple Crown Pageant this year isn’t for another month, the frequently silly and often bizarre social campaigning for the titles of Mr. and Miss Gay RI, and Miss Lesbian RI seems to have already begun. Thinking of how little we saw ANY of the Gay RI people for 09 do anything publicly visible (unless it’s on a website or a street corner), we think that RI Pride is probably out this year to undo the giant WTF moment we all experienced after the TCP at Roxy last year — meaning some tasty, catty competition among the candidates.
Anyhow, who can forget the controversial (and frankly confusing) situation surrounding prominent pre-op tranny Sarah Beyers running in 2009 for Miss Lesbian RI — on the grounds that while still technically a man, she lives life as a woman and is attracted solely to women, making her pretty much a lesbian. (like we said last year, only in Rhode Island can a straight man be Miss Lesbian RI) Well it seems that Sarah will be taking us down this road again, albeit with a lot of extra power behind her — come on, she did almost more work in the last year than all of the actual Gay RI 09 people combined. The unfamiliar nature of Sarah’s run for Miss Lesbian RI last year certainly felt gimmicky, but after clearly showing a commitment and passion for the issues of the community over the last year, maybe she’s the best “man” for the job. And at least she doesn’t play the guitar.
Here’s a group of girls that are likely to be involved in the Miss Gay RI “drag race” in 2010.
Triple Crown Pageant takes place March 28th. Most likely at Roxy.
To all that talk about them being visible – When you look at the pics, look at the SAD attendance to all of the events due to THEIR lack of publicizing the events. Pathetic! Bunch of losers. Maybe they should focus on something else with their lives instead of a do nothing crown…….
for those of you who do not think the crown holders have been visable you better take a look at some pics at most of the events here in rhode island cause a ver good friend of mine Mr. gay ri 2009 Scottie has been to more tan his share of event. also lets see you ass holes try to do better. oh wait you cant. lol well all i can say is JOB WELL DONE crown holders of 2009…
Work… but I’m not ready to run for a title yet. maybe next year!
I think vienna marriot should run, she will wipe all those drag queens 2 the back of the line. She is the best 1 for the crown! Go vienna!
The line in RI between drag and tranny is very blurry. As a rule, the girls here don’t do “drag” as they do in other parts of the country. The drag in this city can best be described as female impersonation, which is not too far removed from tranny. You have the “fish” hair, the boobs, the glamour gowns, but there is no element of “over the top” really. Actually, the only thing drag here is the jewelry, and even with that; some brave Jewish women in NYC wear bigger and better. I guess what I’m saying is here the standard of drag is more subdued and therefore more approachable, but you really can’t tell who is and who isn’t a tranny anymore.
Yes , Jacqueline has set the standard for Miss Gay RI since 2008..Each new crown holder has big shoes to fill (jackie’s)……Thank you Jacqueline for being a role model in raising funds for the community with PASSION.
what happened to this crown going towards a talented drag queen? they should have a tranny section alone.
If you guys remember, before 2008 the Triple Crown Winners were not nearly as visible as they are expected to be now. Jacqueline took the title to a level that most people can’t ascend to, because she had a passion for it most people simply don’t have. I think the titleholders this year have done fine. They’ve done as much as all the titleholders pre-08, and with such a high standard to have been held to, I know I respect them immensely.
the winner of the interview,,,wins the Crown………..each winner of the interview for triple crown last year…..won their pageant……
well i would say with eric haslehurst running the pageant who also runs the legends calender i would think the legend would be the winner no? its alredy decided
