(Apologies if the video players are a little janky-blame Metacafe.)
The best video we’ve seen, by far, in the performance-art spirit of Trannyshack, is this one by San Francisco’s Raya Light (who wore the Miss Trannyshack crown in 2006). Spoiler: It involves a crack pipe, and it features Patti LaBelle’s scary rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
Apparently it’s a requirement of every hinterlands tranny that they do “Alone” by Heart. CassandraForever of Irvine, CA did it, Denver’s own GingerSext did it, as did Denver’s Nina Flowers, but by far the most glorious rendition comes from the current voter favorite, JessicaDimon of Ludlow, Kentucky. No offense, but Jessica had better concentrate less on the special effects and work more on her lip syncing if she’s going to get anywhere in this game.
There aren’t a lot of NYC queens in the running, maybe because they already consider themselves stars, but we did see Dina Davenport on there, and this one, Chochalicious, who’s apparently played a lot of hos in her day.
And though we don’t approve of putting up a video without your makeup on, we just want to share with you self-described “big ball of party,” Georgia’s own Mikaila Andrews, out of drag, discussing why s/he’s an entertainer.
