Fabulosity Fun

Students who decided not to attend Pace’s annual drag show called “Fabulosity” missed out on one exciting evening.

Put on by Pride at Pace, the LGBTQA+ organization on campus, Fabulosity took place in the Willcox Multipurpose Room last Wednesday night. From 9:00 p.m. until almost 11:00 p.m., the audience watched their fellow students doing their best performing onstage to impress the judges. Hosting the event was one of Westchester’s most famous drag queens, Dotty Spartans, who kept the audience laughing throughout the night and also took a few turns of her own performing onstage.

Pride at Pace provided many different snacks and candy at the event, and also put on a raffle throughout the night. Purchasing tickets for $1, ticket buyers hoped to win the coveted prizes of either an Xbox with a 2 year warranty and the NBA 2k17 game, or a Beats Pill Plus stereo.

Participants performed and lip synced to different hits like “All I Want for Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey and dressed up like comic book character Harley Quinn. At the end of the night, the second place winner, who was Edwin, was awarded $100, while the winner, Ian Whitman, was awarded $500.

While the event provided an opportunity for everyone to get out and have some fun, the host also made sure it brought attention to and raised awareness for issues like transgender treatment in the workplace, and transgender homelessness.
