Piggy - Miss Barnsley 2009
Backstage the air is thick with hairspray and talcum powder. One contestant’s broken a nail (gasp!), one old queen has a run in her hose and another bitch has been nipping at the gin.
Now let’s dim the lights and turn up the volume as the Men of Infomaniac sashay and shante their way down the catwalk in their finest drag.
Hold onto your wigs, bitches!

And now make way for our oldest contestant …
AYEM8Y aka NUNYA BEESWAX – MISS FLORIDA
Ayem8y as Eudora Welty
The real
Eudora Welty"My homage to Eudora Welty was created on All Hallows Eve 1985. I thought it would be a novel way to ring her doorbell and have her autograph a book. I imagined a short story about the time she opened the door and saw herself standing on the stoop. When I got there she had tacked up a little note saying, “Please no further autographs tonight as time is needed to finish a project” It was signed in crayon, Eudora Welty. Needless to say I yanked the note off the door immediately."
It seems our contestant from England has had a wardrobe malfunction! …
FROBISHER aka MAVIS BOYLE – MISS DORSET
She may be frumpy but she gets the lads! …
It’s time to bump up the glamour a notch or two now …
NORMADESMOND – MISS SUNSET BOULEVARD
Her alter ego, Ivana Bensova, looking for rich American man who will let her shop in Wal-Mart everyday…
Miss San Francisco really gets around. Here she is seen walking the streets of New Orleans …
MR. PEENEE – MISS SAN FRANCISO
Our next contestant shows off her versatility, going from the caftan to the couch …

DONN aka DONNATELLA – MISS WINNIPEG
KEVIN aka SHIRLEY –MISS TORONTO
"Someone "touched up" my makeup for me before going on...little did I know it was dark plum."
"The medusa was from a Queen of Halloween show a few years ago...still got the wig, too!"
"Garbage bag dress: from the "garbage bag fashion show" of course!"
Our contestant from Down Under …
PRINCESS aka MISS STIFF-FANNY SCREWLOOSE – MISS AUSTRALIA
Introducing our newest Infomaniac bitch …
HAYWARD – aka FRANGELICA HOUSTON - MISS ILLINOIS
"That
red dress was a $5 bargain from Thrift City. Wish I still had it but gave it to my cleaning lady who wanted it for church. Make-up was by the lady in polka dots who was much more experienced at this kinda thing. I'm not exactly sure how the night ended but I do remember being asked to do a dining room stage performance at Lucky Cheng's. Good times."
The First Ladies Club ...
"From left: Hilary Clinton, Barbara Bush, Betty Ford, Pat Nixon, Nancy Reagan, Lady Bird Johnson,
Jackie (me), Mamie Eisenhower, Eleanor Roosevelt and Rosalynn Carter.
It was a wild day with so many stories. We won Best Group at a costume contest and party-hopped through the French Quarter. It came to an end when we caught Rosalynn alone desperately devouring her peanut necklace. Good times."
A round of applause for our fabulous divas!!!Note: Mistress MJ was inspired to hold this drag compo after seeing a few of you in drag over at The Hair Hall of Fame.
*awaits hair-pulling, wig-snatching catfight over first place*
