Trannyshack, now in its 12th award-winning year, is San Francisco’s longest-running weekly drag and performance hotspot. Held on Nov. 17 at The Gift Center, the annual Miss Trannyshack Pageant drew hundreds of tranny-loving fans to see who would take the coveted crown. Heklina, draped in gold and in a platinum wig higher and wider than ever before, reminded everyone of “the bad old days of Trannyshack,” and joined Faux Queen Trixie Carr in an original song about Trannyshack, sung live to the music of “Love Shack” by the B-52’s: “Paint your face like a slut, and stick your dick up your butt,” said the lyrics, and concluded: “Bang bang bang on the men’s room door – blow … job … busted!” Following that, Assemblyman Mark Leno presented a certificate of recognition to the stepping down Miss T-shack, Raya Light. A very blonde Juanita More and her chorus boys and girls did a fabulous tribute to Aretha with “Respect.”
Raya gave her final performance as reigning Miss ‘shack, with a video above showing her as the perfect housewife, dusting furniture and snorting coke. She came out in person as the Vita-meata-vega-men girl from I Love Lucy, spooning the liquor-infused potion down her gullet. Suddenly there was a militaristic theme as Queen’s “We Will Rock You” played while warriors, Vikings, terrorists, and Nazis tried to attack her; but she beat them off (no, not THAT beating off) with a giant lollipop. They tore her clothes off and made her stand naked as the day she was born.
