The lights were low Saturday night in Bengal Lair as performer Amanda Lay entered the stage in a pale blue party dress and white platform heels adorned with feathers.

Elizabeth Cook’s “Sometimes It Takes Balls to Be a Woman,” rang out in Memorial Union as she began to lip-synch and dance.

The performance earned Columbia College student Wayne Boykin II, performing as Amanda Lay, a crown and the title of MU’s Miss Diva 2009 in the Missouri statewide amateur Drag Show, sponsored by Triangle Coalition. Freshman Benjamin Vigil, performing as Valenica VonDutch, was the runner-up.
