You can keep your preacher's daughter conservative country sweetheart Miss America pageant; we'll take Miss Gay USofA any day. The lovely ladies in this competition may be male underneath the sequins, rhinestones and makeup; but their poise, grace and clever tucking of the ol' twig n' berries creates a suspension of disbelief and makes for an exciting battle of the divas. Contestants performed as Janet and Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Pink, Rihanna and even characters from classic musicals.
