Akron America Crown

by Jimmie

The Miss Gay Metropolitan AkronAmerica Pageant was held May 21 at the Interbelt in Akron. Dene Matthews and Kierra (Miss Northern States USA 94-95) were coemcees featuring five contestants: Kierra Fontaine, Lamarr, Capri Kennedy, Tofee English and Ashley West,

Performing this night were Big Mama, Valerie Hill, Rosita Estefan, Braxon (Miss

Ruby Macintyre and Nicole Andrews.

Gay Ohio America), Desarae Devoe, Coco Vega, and outgoing titleholder Erica Martinez. Pageant promoter Troy Sutton participated in the opening number, which featured an Egyptian mystique theme. Notables present were Katey and Renee of K&R Productions, Trixie Morgan, and Ginger Manchester. Best of talent has to be Capri Kennedy doing her impersonation of Billie Holliday flaw-less-ly!

Ashley West ripped the crowd and also slapped around everyone on stage, stabbed one person, stood on her back and got what she came there for-the crown. "You gotta do whatcha gotta do!" First runner up was Capri Kennedy; second was Tofee English,

and third was Kierra Fontaine. Ronnie Roberts walked off with the "Cheresse Humanitarian Award."

Heard by-the-by: Keri Nickels has taken the crown as Miss U4ia after her roommate and good friend Jennifer Phillips ended her year as Miss U4ia.

Stripper dirt: "Hollywood," currently working with Bad Obsession, says he will be doing a layout for Playgirl, either the August or September issue. He also says he is currently negotiating to get the coverwe'll be watching!

JIMMIE

The Miss Gay Metropolitan Cleveland America Pageant was held at U4ia on June 9 with Ivana Grump and Keri Nickels sharing emcee duties. This night featured entertainment in the men's room and also in the parking lot! Notables present were Alexandria, Isis Tiffany Soul, Michelle Mar-

tin, Alex Perry, and Big Mama among others.

The two contestants this night were Nicole Andrews and Ruby MacIntyre. Cher Andreas, the current titleholder, performed throughout with some incredible dresses that had to be designed by an architect. They had to be seen to be believed. Truly incredible!

Even though there were only two contestants, this pageant ran until 2 am! Performers in the show included Jennifer Phillips, Keri, Michelle Martin, Brazon, Ivana and everyone in attendance but me. Ruby MacIntyre won the Congeniality and Talent categories, while Nicole Andrews took Interview. Evening Wear was a tie.

Nicole Andrews won the title, with Ruby MacIntyre first runner-up.

A note about Ryan Idol's retirement tour at U4ia on June 18, or perhaps it should have been called the "Ryan-ain't-an-Idol-nomo'Tour." Ryan's chest has seen better days. The horror of the crowd echoed the room when he removed his shirt. Not a pretty sight!
