Skating's a drag

Showeena DuMore as Wonder Woman takes the spotlight in the Ice Haus at Nationwide Arena during the Federation of Drag Skating Championships in Columbus on October 10.

Over 250 people came to watch ten drag queens and one drag king compete in this fun fest. The second annual event was a benefit for Stonewall Columbus.

The championships were judged by a panel of local celebrities from drag queens to local GLBT business owners, and emceed by Marshall McPeek and Anietra Hamper of WCMH Channel 4. The skating competition was preceded by a free skate for the audience as well as food and drinks.

This year's bronze medal went to Mary Ann Brandt, who represented Iraq as Fatima Mohammad Ali. She brought the house down with her overwrought skating gestures and a full Muslim burkha above her skates.

Beulah Park, looking the most like a conventional skater in a dazzling bluesequined outfit, took home the silver medal for the U.S.

The prestigious gold honor went to the evening's only drag king, Enigma Cross, also from the U.S.

This program funded by the Ohio Tobacco Lite Prevention and Control Foundation and the Community Vision Council.
