halloween drag queen high heel race

Let me take you back in time to Halloween 2009. DC's version of now nonexistent Halloween in the Castro was a short Drag Queen High Heel Race* event in Dupont Circle. And though the night was slightly full of rain, spectators and participators both come out in crowds to witness this year's high heel race. And let me tell you, some of these guys can run really fast in four inch heels!

This lady with the red umbrella was a really good Julia Childs, personality and all.

The back of Marilyn Monroe, who was initially walking around with JFK but I guess he couldn't be in the race because he had no heels on.
