CATEGORIES: SEX SIREN - (Male Figure and Female Figure) There will be two seperate Sex Siren Categories, One for Masculine presenting folks and one for Feminine Presenting folks. How will you tease and arouse the judges? Strip it all off? Maybe a little burlesque or erotic dancing? The ultimate sex fantasy! It is up to you to win over the Judges and get those 10's! (Judged on ones ability to be the most sexually appealing through various erotic expressive forms) SERVE FACE - (Open to All) Do you have some serious resting bitch face? How about some killer makeup skills that make all your friends mad? Show us that FACE and SERVE THAT FACE for those 10's! (Judged on makeup artistry and facial presentation) REALNESS - (Butch and Fem Qween) There will be two seperate REALNESS Categories, one for Butch and one for Fem. These Categories are open to Gay men, Trans* Men, Women and Drag KING and QUEENS. If the category is "FQ Realness", all traces of ones biological maleness must be virtually erased (or at least hidden). In contrast, "BQ Realness" requires complete camouflage of anything remotely perceived as "gay" or "Fem": you appear to be a straight man. Can you bend the gender spectrum to your liking to pull off that REALNESS look and win those 10s? (Judged on ones ability to pull off Butch Queen or Fem Queen REALNESS through presentation, gender expression and attitude) VIRGIN VOGUE (NEVER COMPETED BEFORE) This Category is only for those that have never competed before, which means if youve already done this...you cant do it again. Are you new to Vogue? Still wanna be fierce without the pressure of taking on seasoned voguers? Try out Virgin Vogue! Have fun and show us what you got! VOGUE PERFORMANCE (Open to All) Who has the most fiercest and most sickening Vogue that haters fall in disgust? Using all the elements of Vogue; Catwalk, Duck Walk, Hands, Floor-work, Dips, Spins and Drops. Show us who's the head queen in charge to snatch those 10s! Use any or all Vogue styles (Old Way, New Way, Vogue Fem, Dramatics) to win those 10s and walk away as the winner and win a spot on the judging panel next month!
