Posted by Stephen Marc Beaudoin on Wed, May 6, 2009 at 4:41 PM
Umm hellooooo, drag queen fanatics everywhere!!
Huge news out of Portland queer bar Boxxes/Red Cap Garage, which just confirmed they're hosting "RuPaul's Drag Race" starlet Ongina (a fan fave from the show) and crowning queen Bebe Zahara Benet (that's her above - rawr!) in special performances on Thursday, May 14th and Thursday, June 11th, respectively, at the club's SW 11th and Stark Street complex.
The fast-rising queens' performances are part of Red Cap's weekly "Drag Race" series, hosted by Portland's own reigning queen, Poison Waters. Ms. Benet's June 11th appearance, which wraps up the club's local "Race," also kicks off Portland Pride weekend, running through June 14th.
