DESPERATE DIVAS 2007
CALENDAR AND GRAND PAGEANT
AIDS Housing Alliance/SF (AHA) is pleased to present Desperate Divas 2007, a glamorous fundraising calendar featuring the Bay Area's fabulous drag divas. Each month of the glossy 2007 calendar will display one Desperate Diva, selected at a series of preliminary contests leading up to the grand pageant in August. At the grand pageant, the cover model for the Desperate Divas 2007 calendar will be crowned and showered with prizes.
Be crowned a Desperate Divas 2007 calendar girl
Desperate Divas 2007 calendar hostess, Miss Anita Fixx invites drag darlings of all levels and experience to enter the preliminary contests, hosted through July, by each sponsoring bar. (See dates and locations below.) So, any gentleman who harbors a tickle for 6-inch stilettos, teased out wigs and Maybelline, must slink into that hot number hanging in the back of the closet, and enter.
1 - Be age 21-plus.
2 - Contact Miss Anita Fixx to sign up: MissAnitaFixx@yahoo.com or 415-374-1924.
3 - Tease it, tape it, pluck it, paint it, stitch it, cinch it…
4 - Arrive at the contest, on time, in your best schmata, prepared with one talent number (a lip-sync, a shimmy, a baton twirl...) with accompanying music on CD, and be question-and-answer-ready.
Winning calendar girls are chosen by crowd applause and/or a cadre of judges - depending on the sponsoring bar’s choice method of selection.
