The Original Contest for Drag Queen Trapped in Women's Bodies.  Founded by Ruby Toosday and Diet Popstitute, upheld by Foul Play and now in the hands of title winner Bea Dazzler (FQ 1998), this contest was "open to all genetically challenged drag queens" and originally intended for "women-dressed-as-men-dressed-as-women", but has become a showcase of up and coming talent and female drag performers in their own right.

Exquisite Corpse Theatre:  Soap Opera
