Presents a vivid ethnography of the Miss'd America pageant and the gay neighbourhood from which it emerged in the early 1990s. The book examines how the pageant strengthened community bonds and activism, as well as how it has changed now that Rupaul's Drag Race has brought many of its practices into the cultural mainstream.
