SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Check it dudes and surfettes, get stoked for the 14th Annual coolaphonic, awesome sweet Drag King Contest, the World's Biggest and Longest Running notorious, kahuna of shows! Bros, Brahs, Dick Draggers, Bubbas, Hotdoggers, Murffs, Beach Bunnies, Gidgets, Chubby Checkers, Dudettes, and Wooly Woofters, this event is hella rad; major legends and newbies compete for bodacious prizes. Get wet -- Stellar Special Guests and nectar too! Safari down to the DNA Lounge with some ka-ching and quantum threads -- Dawgs, it's a benefit for PAWS!

"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* affirms: "Prepare to be amazed by the variety, astounded by the veracity, and properly impressed by the figurative and literal balls on display."

Studly Virtuoso, Fudgie Frottage, "The Man with The Biggest Balls in Show Business," and "The World's Most Photographed Nun" Sister Roma, of The Tim and Roma Show and Hot House Video Emcee the Event.

The star-studded event will showcase Papa Don Preach, reigning 2008 Solo King for his killer singing voice, Fella-Fem, 2008 troupe winners for their sexy campy choreography, The Crickette Bardot Dancers, Beautiful Bellydancing Bollywood Faux Queens, and special guests, Arty Fishal, SF Drag King 1998 Titleholder, Dee Dee Luxe, The Indra, The Momma's Boyz and The East Bay King's Club. In addition, Psychobilly Punk Band, Thee Merry Widows, will also perform, and - as always - the gender bending contestants will be the center of attention.

Contestants are judged on talent, creativity, studliness, sex appeal, originality, humor, make-up/facial hair and fashion by the illustrious panel of nationally known celebrity judges, including Drag King Titleholders, Rusty Hips and Jay Walker, Simone DeLaGetto of Harlem Shake Burlesque, and Anna Conda, of Charlie Horse, and Herra-Chick, former Miss Trannyshack and activist.
