    The phrase “disco balls” took on new meaning at the '70s -themed, 21st Annual San Francisco Drag King Contest on September 29 at Oasis in San Francisco. 

    If you want to have a crazy time, and be hoarse the next morning from laughing and yelling, be sure to attend this event next year. Tickets are relatively cheap, and you get to see stars like this: Leigh Crow, Arty Fishal, Mason Dixon Jars, Momma's Boyz, Madd Dogg 20/20, Klingon Vanna White, Mutha Chucka, Clammy Faye, Rebel Kings, Fella-Fem, and GenderQueer Society.

    And the really good news is that the event benefits PAWS (Pets Are Wonderful Support) .

    The photos included here are from David Sweet and Ruby Rieke (see 600 images from the event on her Flickr page.) And thanks to Dr. Fudgie for the help getting this together.
