Tiger drag
President Tilghman and other judges react to a performance by Honey Loquacious, aka Rachman Blake ’07, the winner of the first All-Ivy Drag Competition April 16 on the south lawn of Frist Campus Center, at which drag queens and kings from five schools strutted their stuff for about 500 onlookers. The celebrity judges ranked the contestants on “gender accuracy,” “talent,” and “creativity.” Blake, a soccer player, said that he plans to abandon cross-dressing before beginning his investment banking career. “It’s just fun, but this doesn’t exactly fit well with the corporate world,” he said.
I'm sure that Senate Majority Leader Frist wishes that they had held the "All-Ivy Drag Competition" somewhere other than the eponymous Campus Center. I'm also sure that Rachman Blake hopes that the trading desk guys at his new employer don't Google "Rachman Blake" any time in the next, er, forty years.
