Drag queens and kings ruled the Richard Thompson Student Activities Room Friday night during the third annual charity drag show event hosted by Living Proud. The show raised $945 in two hours for the AIDS Walk and entertained a crowd of over 200, the largest to date.

Six drag queens and one drag king competed for tip donations in the drag show, and several returned for encores. Contestants lip-synched to pop and dance songs while working the room.
