Beauty and Elegance Productions are honored to have all the support from the Broadway and from its owner Mr. Jim Fletcher. They can't forget Stephen Holstein for all the help with decorations and being there ready to do anything they asked for preparations.
This was a national prelim pageant therefore there were no state or resident restrictions. Its a all male drag pageantry system meaning that contestants can no have any work down from the neck down.
But like anything, only one could win.
This night it was Kourtney Brown
and XTC was the first alternate.
Congratulations to all the contestants, you all did a wonderful job. Also much thanks to Bianca Baker and Michael Egnor for their hard work at making this pageant happen. Congrats to you too!
