Listen, if you are tired of the same ol’, same ol’, scene and you think you’ve seen it all before hang on to your knickers ‘cuz Murray will knock your socks off! Did I just mix a metaphor? No worries mixing it up is what queer culture is all about.
Murray wrote me saying, “OK, I gotta doozy for you….an FTM competition! The first of it’s kind, of course, taking place in Brooklyn!. I’m really excited and proud to produce and host this event. This event is to help start raising the visibility of this diverse scene, and will also be a slamming party!”
For many years Murray has been running the stellar counter culture pageant Miss Lez, but this weekend will be the first FTM and transman pageant. There will be guest judges, entertainment, and of course the competition. The six contestants will be judged on PLATFORM, SWIMSUIT, REALNESS, TALENT, and EVENING WEAR.
And the panel of esteemed queer judges include:
KATE BORNSTEIN (pioneering transgender author, playwright and performance artist)
The WORLD FAMOUS *BOB* (F-T-F burlesque legend),
GLEN MARLA (Brooklyn-based performance artist, tranny superstar)
GEO WYETH (Novice Theory founder and out transgender musician)
OUR LADY J (vocalist, pianist and composer )
AMOS MAC (editor-in-chief ORIGINAL PLUMBING, photographer)
We’ll be there and we hope to see you! Get your tickets at:
