The Miss America Pageant is fine for those whose stunted libidos restrict their fantasies to the realm of glamorized soccer-mom-dom. For the rest of us there’s Catwalk Tragedy.
The self-described “Alternative Beauty Pageant” caters to the goth in all of us, encouraging tattooed and “undefined non-mainstream” girls to strut their non-hegemonic and/or protest sexualities with bohemian abandon.
Contestants flaunting their gams at the Trocadero (Philly’s legendary former burlesque house) are up for some serious swag. And any contest that offers a pair of nipple pasties to the winner is golden in my book.
The fact that Catwalk Tragedy also includes performances by Suicide City and the Peek-a-Boo Revue simply ices a marvelously decadent cake. (Joshua Valocchi)
