They were courageous people who laid the groundwork for the popular and respected drag culture that exists today. These queens should not be forgotten. Full Review

Product Description:

Predating the Stonewall milestone in Gay Rights, this documentary goes behind the scenes to witness the catty and campy competition of the mascaraed and sequined male contestants in the "Miss All-America Camp Beauty Pageant" of 1967. Celebrity judges include Edie Sedgwick, George Plimpton, Terry Southern and Andy Warhol.
