"The San Francisco Drag King Contest is a mash up of the Miss America
Pageant, American Idol, Halloween, and a Monster Truck Show -- We have it
all -- every year the show gets bigger and better!" states impresario
Fudgie Frottage.
"I am so excited to be involved with Fudgie and SFDK14! I've been a huge
Drag King whore for years - in fact I MC'd the very first SFDK with Joan
Jett-Black 14 years ago. Every year some of the Kings are so hot I come
untucked. I can't wait to see which hunky butch studs come out this year!"
says
Sister Roma.
"The drag King contest was a sight for sore eyes. So many girls in drag and
no attitude!( Well inappropriate attitude that is.) It was a night ofgender
delusion like none I have ever seen. Sexy girl boys that made me turn my
head. In fact I still have a crick! The show from live bands to the
contestants never lagged and it was the most fun I've had since I won Miss
Trannyshack 2004! It represented the true spirt of San Francisco that has
returned lately in full force!"
Anna Conda
"It’s a huge event,” says judge,
Simone DeLaGetto.
"Everyone dresses up
in their finest. It's a celebration of 'being,' not just expressing yourself
as a gender — a celebration of self, of being able to go out and have a good
time. And, at the same time, there’s a part that’s just over-the-top
cheesiness. But the energy is so high."
Considered "One of the most boisterous parties of the year," by the
San Francisco Chronicle ,San Francisco Chronicle,
it’s also "Sexy, campy, dragalicious, professionally
executed and full of talent," espouses the
San Francisco Bay Times ,
and "Impressive, varied, and wild," advocates
The Onion
*The San Francisco Bay Guardian*

the veracity, and properly impressed by the figurative and literal balls on
display."
