DESCRIPTION:It’s coming!  Big Ball holder, DragStrip Productions, is proud to 
 announce the most climactic and orgasmic live stage show of orgiastic 
 gender bending revelry in the history of San Francisco: the 13th Annual 
 Drag King Contest - the biggest, girthiest, and most enduring Drag King 
 Competition in the World.  Hard and throbbing musical productions, firm and 
 penetrating performances, and extraordinary feats of entertainingly 
 unbridled masculine stamina and staying power are set to explode over the 
 wildly anticipating and engorged-to-capacity-crowd on August 16, 2008 at 
 8:00 p.m., at the most appropriate venue in town, the DNA Lounge.\n\n"The 
 San Francisco Drag King Contest is a mash-up of the Miss America Pageant, 
 American Idol, Halloween and a Monster Truck Show," states impresario 
 Fudgie Frottage.  “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.”\n\nConsidered "One of the most boisterous parties of the year," 
 by the 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." \n\nVirile Virtuoso, Fudgie Frottage, "The Man 
 with The Biggest Balls in Show Business," and Internationally Renowned 
 Burlesque Chanteuse, Comic and Siren, The Indra, as "The Indro vs. The 
 Indra," a bi-sexual, bi-polar, half male, half female character, return to 
 preside over the festivities as Masters (and 1/2 Mistress) of Ceremonies.  
 According to last year's revues, "Both were on fire all evening," and the 
 SF Bay Times also stated, "Fudgie and Indra possess a magical chemistry and 
 timing that ranks with the likes of George Burns and Gracie Allen meets 
 Sonny and Cher with a bit of Three Stooges and Marx Brothers thrown 
 in."\n\nThe star-studded event will showcase Fakin' Aiken, reigning 2007 
 Solo King for his impeccable Clay Aiken impersonation, The Pacmen, 2007 
 troupe winners for their flawlessly dazzling choreography, Kitty Kitty Bang 
 Bang, glamorous aerialist burlesque troupe, and special guest, Electro, The 
 Pop n' lock King, SF Drag King 2000 titleholder (when the contest was only 
 5 years old).  In addition, What-the-F*ckabilly Band, The Mighty Slim 
 Pickins, will also perform, and - as always - the gender bending 
 contestants will be the center of attention. \n\nContestants 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 2006 Drag King Titleholder, Buck Naked, 
 Simone DeLaGetto of Harlem Shake Burlesque, and Sister Roma of The Tim and 
 Roma Show and Hot House Video.\n\nJay Walker, SF Drag King 2005 and Mr. 
 Trannyshack 2004, adds, “If you can get the audience going and people are 
 really engaged by your number, that says so much more than facial hair, or 
 passing ability, or any of that stuff.  Creativity, good production, and 
 pushing the edge of what we’ve already seen, that's what makes this the 
 best show in San Francisco." \n\nThe 13th Annual SF Drag King
