A Few Photos + Video of the High Heel Drag Queen Race

The crowd came out in the pouring rain to line up along the street to watch the brave participants race down 17th Street in high heels last night. Not even mother nature could stop the glamorous occasion. Some of the contestants were in full drag and character as they provided entertainment to the eager crowd between 7-9 PM. The favorites of the night included a few iconic divas Julia Child, Cruella De Ville and Marilyn Monroe (with JFK).
