That's Mister Austin, to You

AGLCC's Mr. & Ms. Austin Pride 2008 Pageant, a fundraiser this Sat., May 10 for the upcoming Austin Pride Parade, threatens to be a sea of heels and falsies if some local drag kings don't step up to compete.

One king and one queen will be chosen (if there are king competitors) to represent A-town and ride in the parade as the titled monarchs. Last week's deadline has been extended to any interested kings wishing to pack it and smack it. I just know there are some mustachioed cads out there willing to whip out the spirit gum for a good cause.
