PAGEANT (2008): Alyssa Edwards & Porkchop Before Drag Race | US Pageant Documentary

Before RuPaul's Drag Race made them global stars, Alyssa Edwards and Victoria "Porkchop" Parker were competing at the highest level of American pageantry. PAGEANT (2008) follows contestants through the Miss Gay America circuit — the longest-running female impersonation pageant system in the United States — years before either performer stepped onto the Drag Race stage. Directed by Ron Davis and Stewart Halpern, this award-winning documentary offers international drag fans a rare look inside American pageant culture: the costumes, the choreography, the community, and the competition that shaped some of the biggest names in global drag.
