Flourishing over four decades, the Miss Gay Missouri America (MGM) crown represents the finest in the art of female impersonation. Founded in 1973, it is the second oldest preliminary to the storied Miss Gay America pageant.
Unlike her sister pageantry systems such as Continental or USofA, MGM requires their contestants be men in every sense; hence, no hormones or surgical augmentation below the neck. Indeed, that perfectly painted face and sleek silhouette is very much an illusion with the help of wig and gown, padding and hose and the occasional roll of duct tape.
