Because High-Heel Races Aren’t Strange Enough

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween.

Now seems an appropriate time to mention last week’s high-heels Race in Washington DC (I’m not kidding, high-heel races are a real thing). How does this connect to Halloween? Well, the entire race is done in drag.

Good form, all things considered.

It’s the annual DC Drag Queen Race, and it’s a pretty big deal. The race starts at 9 a.m., but enough people watch that there’s a crowd by 6. And apparently there’s a lot to see; just check out the gallery here or watch last year’s video:

Congratulations to Brian Segal, the winner of the 2010 DC Drag Queen Race. I say any guy who can run in a polka-dot dress and heels deserves respect.
