I was asked to be one of the five judges at the Miss LifeWalk 2011 contest, which took place Sunday night at the Round-Up. It’s the first time I’ve judged a drag show, but the talent was evident — not only from the contestants, but from the other entertainers. Jenna Skyy gave a rousing performance (before she sat down alongside me to judge, with Dr. Bill Henderson, John Loza and Dallas Voice Ultimate Diva! Stacey McKinney), while Iona Trailer camped it up hilariously. One of the remarkable discoveries was former Voice of Pride Jason Huff, who donned a dress and gave a roaring church-revival-esque performance late in the show.
The crowd responded. Money was free-flowing for all three contestants, with Lotta Pink — who bested runners-up Heather Thomas and Mowlawn Rouge — in total money raised (before she even entered the club, she came with $7,000 in benefits for the LifeWalk). Lotta won the whole she-bang, largely as a result of having elaborate choreography (including dancing boys, pictured) during the talent portion.
Keeping everything going were co-hosts Ima Lush and Victoria Weston (who sang without lip-synching).
