"Pageant": Behind The Scenes At Miss Gay America

"Pageant" goes behind the scenes, dreams, breakdowns, freakouts, sequins, glitter and fabulous falsies of the Miss Gay America pageant, an annual competition for female impersonators who are every bit as dedicated (and hysterical) as mainstream beauty queens.

And they are also, within the context of drag, just as traditional as their scepter-wielding sisters. Not for these divas the punk-inflected stylings you find on the cutting edge of the drag scene. This is female impersonation of the old school: lip-synching, Hollywood glamour, Liza, Judy and Fosse, Fosse, Fosse!
