The event is produced by Drag Strip Productions, calling it the internationally acclaimed outlandish celebration of sex, drag and rock 'n' roll. The event will bring out the animal in every attendee and participant as part of the proceeds will benefit PAWS (Pets Are Wonderful Support), the company said.
"The San Francisco Drag King Contest is a mash-up of the Miss America Pageant, American Idol, Halloween and a Monster Truck Show," Fudgie Frottage said.
"We have every kind of drag from suits to fruits; studs to puds — everything from Elvis impersonators to leather daddies, wrestlers, contortionists, hillbillies, clowns, jocks and their female counterparts. It's a mind-boggling, dress-to-impress occasion, where part of the fun is just trying tell the performers and audience members apart."
Presiding over the festivities as Masters of Ceremonies will be Virile Virtuoso; Fudgie Frottage; and burlesque chanteuse, comic and siren The Indra, who will show up as "The Indro vs. The Indra," a bisexual, bipolar, half-male, half-female character.
Sponsors include Vixen Creations, Buck Angel, Glama-Rama, Black & Blue Tattoo, Good Vibrations, Costumes on Haight, Mr. S Leather, Pretzel's Yoga and the Center for Sex and Culture.
