Slow Drag at the Port of Ilwaco -Drag Queens
This is an event at the Port of Ilwaco every year. The goal of the ‘race’ is to be the last one over the finish line, it is a double elimination. This year, sadly, ‘The Drag Queens’ (that’s us) were eliminated quickly. Looks like the Carmen Miranda costume didn’t help! But a great day.
