Fab Magazine: Deep Dish by Rolyn Chambers

“I am excited for another evening of the Village’s most creative and totally ridiculous monthly drag contest, Gowntown.

The B-Girlz, however, take it very seriously, with much work going into the planning and execution of this night that combines computer-controlled visuals, skits and tongue-in-cheek songs.

The contestants themselves are always just a bit off kilter — not your typical Woody’s performers. Take Yura, who performs an odd little ballet with his arms as his legs. Or Paris Hamilton, who, at almost eight feet in heels, has to be the tallest drag queen working.

But winning the wire-hanger trophy and some other odds and ends is third-time entrant Portia Glamour. “I’ve actually been doing drag for 10 years,” she tells me, clutching her trophy to her padded bra. I am impressed that she can now actually walk to the beat of the music."

“The entertainment world’s hottest split personality, Jade Elektra/DJ Relentless, moved from New York to Toronto for love and marriage... entered April’s Gowntown and was not only the first runner-up but was promptly invited back as a headliner for the Friday, May 28, edition.” - Fab Magazine
