Speaking of Award show winners... San Francisco-based drag glamazon and trivia party hostess Pollo Del Mar proved her place in the pantheon of champion drag queens with this number, set to Britney's "Freakshow," which took home the prize at the 2007 Miss Trannyshack pageant.
We've talked a lot the past couple weeks about the history and relevance of drag in these modern times, and for us the best performers are all about wit, surprise and taking shit to its provocative extremes. We're as tired as anyone of standard female-impersonation lip-synch fare (except when it's these ladies), but Pollo is one of those crazy queens who, perhaps by sheer size and acreage of teeth, will always be a star of the freakshow.
Look for Pollo's Glamazon Diaries in the SF Bay Times, Thanks to Mercy Fuque for archiving all this stuff on the 'Tubes.
