Sylvia O’Stayformore founder of the outrageous Bacon Strip “The Big Gay Variety Show” is bringing another kind of pageant to Seattle! The Ms. Bacon Strip Pageant will be coming to The Grill on Broadway on April 13th. Doors will be opening at 9pm.
The first Ms. Bacon Strip Pageant started back in 2011 crowning Ms. Jinkx Monsoon launching her career as hostess of Le Faux and as a contestant of RuPaul’s Drag Race. In 2012 we crowned or reigning queen Ms. Homo Ariagato as Ms. Bacon Strip 2012. Ms. Homo Ariagato will be retiring from Bacon Strip and heading out to New York City. So come on out and see her last performance in Seattle.
The Contests will be judged on the following:
1) Audience Response
2) Appearance, ie Costume/Hair/Make-Up - not that they are "pretty" but they pulled off the look they were going for.
3) Performance - is this a polished, well- executed performance with energy and charm or something whipped together at the last second...
4) Originality/Creativity - is this a unique and interesting performance and presentation, or something we've seen before done by a thousand other queens
5) Charisma - do they have stage presence and the ability to be a "star" on stage and perform under pressure
6)"Bacon-osity" - do they embody the spirit of "Bacon Strip"? Bonus points for actually including bacon in the act.
Contestants include some of favorite Bacon Strip regulars along with some new talent who have yet graced the stage with their talents. The contestants will be fighting it to be Ms. Bacon Strip 2013 and win that bouquet of bacon roses, tiara and the Grand Prize a trip to San Francisco to perform at Tranny Shack.
Our celebrity Judges include Michael Strangeways from seattlegayscene.com, one of Seattle’s funniest ladies, Peggy Platt, our very own version of Honey Boo Boo and still more.
And of course, no pageant would be complete without our very own meat man Nathan, the Darlings, and Otter Pop! Serving up the main course –meaty BACON!
Parties of 10 of more will also get a discount at the door. Contact Sylvia O’Stayformore for more info.
