❄️ MEET YOUR CONTESTANTS ❄️ Please welcome and wish all the luck to our Holiday Pageant Contestants! @__pixiestix Pixie- Greet the holiday season with this freaky glamorous ghoul. You’ll be surprised by how much horror and filth can turn festive✨ @victoryvanhelsing - What’s your gender? ... not anymore! It’s been drunk by a gender fluid vampire.  Victory is a concept driven character, who’s drag inquarperates flow arts and gothic inspiration. This individual is here for a good time, and for a very, very long time. @sadi91gonzalez Drag Phoenix - Stepping onto the stage in a whirlwind of rhinestones, wit, and unapologetic power, Drag Phoenix is a queen who believes drag is more than an art form—it’s a declaration. Known for her show-stopping presence, razor-sharp glamour, and a heart big enough to light up any spotlight, she blends classic pageant elegance with bold, modern flair. @echo_noir_drag Echo - Originally from a small, rural town in Central Alberta, Echo Noir made a name for themselves by competing and hosting in Camrose. Now that she has moved to Edmonton, Echo is excited to share their “punk poser” brand with the YEG scene. But don’t blink: this drag chameleon can shapeshift to fit any theme thrown at her. A warm heart under a spikey exterior, Echo is excited to meet new friends in the Edmonton queer scene and show off her kooky, fun-loving performances! @gigi.mbeauty 👼🏽 Gigi - This glamorous and sophisticated Christmas angel is ready to take flight and glimmer with holiday cheer and plans to use her voice to advocate for transgender rights in healthcare🪽✨️ @jimjam.rivaini Rivaini - Like a snowflake, Rivaini is ready to sparkle and shine like no other!!

I am so unbelievably thrilled to kick off the first day of Ramadan with our largest Uncle Gaza donation transfer yet: $4,265! a whopping $2,973.25 of which came from this fundraiser organized by local punk and queer allies. their generosity, their solidarity—it means everything. lately, I’ve been sitting with the weight of it all. the apocalyptic state of the world and the divisions that have been sown so deeply. especially within our own communities. hatred and prejudice aren’t new. they’ve been passed down, generation after generation, belief system after belief system, making it so easy for those in power to keep us apart. because the longer they can keep us divided, the longer they can remain in power. if we don’t stop these cycles of division, who will? it’s on us to challenge every single belief that upholds injustice if we truly want to create a world where dignity and compassion aren’t just reserved for those who look like us, live like us, or think like us. thank you to all the badass, compassionate humans involved in putting this event together and getting much-needed financial aid to Gazans who remain steadfast in the rubble. your hard work and generosity will never be forgotten. ❤️‍🔥 check out the tags to give the community some love ❤️‍🔥 cover photo & photos interspersed by the talented @agnesbenson_

MASSIVE SHOUTOUT TO THE PUNK & DRAG COMMUNITY Y'all have come together to raise 2753$ for Moustafa's on the ground relief efforts in for displaced Palestinians in Gaza. He sent a message to say that if it weren't for the people of the free world sending money, Gazans could not be inhabiting the land. People's survival on their land is the key in resistance against the occupation. THANK YOU EVERYONE from the bottom of our hearts. Shoutout to co-producers @hermenathekween and @darlin_killjoy for organizing 50/50 raffle, silent auction, curating the drag show and bands. Huge shoutout to @plezherpunk and @midnightpeg , y'all are FORCES OF NATURE and we loved collaborating with you and combine drag with live music. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to @starstruckdrag @raw.angus.yeg @preformermormon.drag @lush_panhick_productions @hermenathekween @tugs.drag for your beautiful, thoughtful, exciting and moving political numbers. People who have never seen drag in their life before told me afterward that the set changed something inside them, and they loved it. Y'all truly brought the house down. Thank you to @homes.reddeer and @punksforpalestineyeg for vending and fundraising, and providing info during the event! Thank you to ALL our silent auction donors, the silent auction raised 800$ alone and that is HUGE. Thank you to our co-hosts @brudyck and @rylankafara at @thehistoryofpunk on CJSR, and @divebaryeg for generously donating the space. Thank you to @damienghouldrag , @moses_motors_ , @oxkelsey @aint_no_feeble_dad for being our helpers. It truly took community coming together to raise those funds in one night, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT or SUPPORTED BY DONATING, y'all give me faith in humanity for REAL. Much love, Meatsack. xox

Breaking up the clown shots with these gems from @onika.xtravaganza ‘s Eleganza show 🥰🖤The entire cast turned it TF out, a huge thank you to @siir.papii for having me in his number and for pushing me wayyyy out of my comfort zone ❤️🖤 I may be a ghoul at heart but I had so much fun slowing it down and getting to do one of my favorite songs of all time ☺️💕 • • Hair is @billieeyelashyeg ‘s and styled by @indecisive_yeg 💕 • Photos from @red_socks_photography 🥰 • • #yegdrag #yegdragshow #edmontondrag #edmontondragperformers #glamdrag

Stilettos 2025 was truly one for the books 🥳💕 Congratulations to all my fellow nominees and winners ❤️ The joy and camaraderie of the night is truly my favorite part, but I’d be lying if I said snagging the award for Dragoons supporting Dragoons didn’t mean the fucking world to me 🥹💕 I know everyone has a different reason for doing drag, but for me it’s always been about community and supporting each other, and the support I’ve gotten from this community from the moment I moved here has been life changing ❤️ I’ve lived in so many countries and cities and this is truly the first time I’ve ever felt loved and like I’ve found a home 🥺💕 Here’s to another year of queer joy and watching people create incredible art. I have just as much fun in the audience as I do performing and that’s thanks to all of the talented artists and friends that put their all into their shows 💕 With that said I hope to see you all at @evowonderlounge this Sunday for the first ANDS prelim! I will now be performing in the second one (peep my stories for context), but rest assured you’ll hear me screaming (sorry LOL) this weekend ☺️❤️ • • #stilettos2025 #stilettoawards #queerjoy #yegdrag #yegdragshows
