Killer Queens

This past Friday, the Queer Alliance here on campus hosted the 11th annual Drag Show! It was hosted by a FABULOUS queen from Seattle, La Saveona Hunt, and all proceeds from ticket/shirt/poster sales went to Puget Sound’s LGBTQ Leadership Scholarship. The show featured some fantastic talent, including the hostess!

Drag queens and kings alike gave incredibly entertaining lip-syncing performances, sporting fancy outfits and some very punny names–Miss Chievious, Faye Cial, Milky Brown, Sirius Lee, and more! There were even some quick changes between queens because of costume jealousy.

The hostess wanted Faye’s dress… so she borrowed it!

Puget Sound’s only co-ed A Capella group also performed, out of drag, but they were awesome too! They pulled out a love song on the spot, per the request of La Saveona!

Another professional queen, a good friend of La Saveona, performed a few exciting numbers as well–Anita Brick!

I had a blast with my friends and I’m so proud to be a part of such a supportive and accepting community. Can’t wait to go again next year!
