Categories:
Women
Feminine
Runway:
Sweet sexy lady emerge for me. Here's a runway
category just for thee. The spectators, they say, will want a thrill. But to do
that, you must be dressed to kill.
Note: your walk must be "sickening"!
Feminine
Face:
In your mind you think it's true, that there
exists no bitch as lovely as you. Some don't believe that this can be, so bring
your carte for us to see.
Feminine Body:
Bring your body to the floor, modelesque or
luscious, nothing more! Note: fully covered please...NO nudity!
Butch Realness
(Studs):
Can you pass? Show us the Hip-Hop in you, the
Schoolboy in you, or the Executive Moneymaker in you. All in all, show us the B-O-Y in
you!
Female Figure (BQ up in Drags vs.
FQ)
Runway:
The moment has come and the time is right. Serve
the runway in something WHITE. Your trophy depends on all you do, so get that
bitch before she gets you!
Performance:
You've come to this place to settle a score, so
hit the stage and cause an uproar. A battle you wanted, a battle it shall be.
Perform for us, the judges will see...
Sex
Siren:
Sex appeal you ooze and flaunt, and sex appeal is
all we want. The judges won't chop you, it has been said, if you "serve" for us
in ravishing RED ! Note: NO nudity
please.
Realness:
Will the "straight" boys know when they check out
your ass? You may meet "Mr. Right" if you can pass.
Labels: ($200 and trophy)
You're always done, as we've come to know; so
bring us labels from head to toe!
Big Girl Runway:
Walk for me, "Ms. Thing", and lead the way. NO skinny bitches in
this category today!
Note:
This category will be judged by Mo'Nique herself, so bring it to the
runway and serve for Mo'Nique!
Butch Queens
Big Boy
Runway:
Strut, strut, wiggle, wiggle...walk for us and
make us giggle. Note: you MUST have on a skirt!
BQ Trilogy - Face, Body &
Realness:
Tonite's the night I ask to see, a man of men who
possesses all three: a face that's fine, a body well cut, and the realness to
make me his only slut. Note: fully
covered, yet revealing, but NO nudity!
BQ Runway: European vs. American: ($200 &
trophy)
A tisk, a tisk, a tee hee hee...which butch queen
will it be? Come serve the runway in a model way, hoping that the judges will
let you stay. Note: European look
must include hat & gloves!
BQ Labels: ($200 & trophy)
You've spent your whole paycheck and you've
finally arrived, but only the "DONE" will be able to survive.
BQ Face: Under 30 vs. Over 30: ($200 &
trophy)
The jealous children hiss and frown as the "FACE"
kids hit the town. No props are needed, not even staging. All we need is your
F-A-C-E, which is far from aging.
BQ Realness: ($200 &
trophy)
Hip-Hop Ghetto vs. Construction Worker Fine vs.
Pretty Schoolboy vs. Executive Realness.
Come in character to win the prize!
BQ Vogue Fem: ($200 &
trophy)
The time has come to set the record straight. If
you don't possess all 5 elements, you are truly late. Duckwalk, catwalk,
dips-n-spins, floor performance and hand performance to settle the score...
Let all challengers know you own the floor. Note: you must wear black &
white.
BQ Body:
Cut from the Heavens, but hot as Hell, let's see a
body that can cast a spell. Our eyes will be drawn to your special place, so
it's up to you to keep it in GOOD TASTE !
Note:
Muscular in red boxers vs. Models in black boxers.
Open To All
Facial Fantasies:
Bring us your most outrageous and outlandish
effect. Go BEYOND the 'club kid'!
Note: looking for creativity NOT beauty!
Bizarre Bazaar: ($200 & trophy)
On the brink of destruction is the ozone layer, so
bring us your effect in recyclable wares.
Become your challenger's slayer!
Mini Grand #1
Team Face: ($300 and trophy)
Back in time you asked of me, to bring a team of 2
"FACE" divas for all to see. One male figure and one female figure to cast a
spell, so these 2 faces must be lovely as hell.
Not all who come will pass the test, but I know
you will vow to send your very best.
Note: they don't have to be in the same house!
Mini Grand #2
New Way Vogue Performance: ($500 and
trophy)
New way used to be exciting, now it's a bore, with
people crawling and twisting all over the floor. Take us back and show us your
skill. Think of Madonna's video if you will.
Serve it, seal it, and the prize you can fetch,
but remember, we are NOT impressed with your stretch! YOU MUST V-O-G-U-E!!
Grand Prize
How Do I Look: ($800 and
trophy)
Bring the Look and Presentation as a house, with
music that compliments your effect!
