New Mexico Bearded Queen Pageant • drag, variety
Scepters and Stubble
In this era of desensitization, sometimes just being a drag queen isn't enough. How can already exaggerated femininity be taken to an even higher level of gender-bending bedlam, you ask? The answer is bearded drag queens. These performers are at a whole new level of glamour and self-awareness. So much so that Sidewinders Ranch is holding the New Mexico Bearded Queen Pageant, from which the winner and first runner-up will move forward to compete in the National Bearded Queen Pageant. Speaking of which, current National Bearded Queen titleholder and special guest of the evening, Joey Gallagher, performs as the shining example of what the other bearded queens are aspiring to. Head out to the local LGBTQ mecca on Saturday, March 9 as the doors open at 8pm and the show kicks off at 9 with a $10 cover for patrons 21 and older. Watch these girls smolder and see who takes the crown. (Mayo Lua de Frenchie)
