The annual
Drag Race held as part of West Hollywood's monstrous Halloween
celebration has one requirement--your heels should be six inches or
taller.
West Hollywood, Calif.―During the annual Halloween
celebration in West Hollywood that attracts over half a million people to
this entertainment capital, you'll find plenty of events to entertain you
throughout the month. One of our favorites is Drag Races. At this
event, it is perfectly acceptable to dress in drag. In fact, one requirement
for men who enter the race is that they must wear six inch heels on their
shoes. This is one of the fun events such as the
Gay Pride Festival hosted
throughout the year in West Hollywood.
A favorite
fashion choice seems to be knee high boots, accessorized to match a
short, little orange dress or cheerleader skirt. The only
(tale-tale) giveaway that you're not watching women compete are
those muscular legs and an occasional flick of the skirt, showing
that there's more down south than meets the eye.
One of the
hilarious events surrounding the biggest Halloween Carnaval party in
the world creates a statement of where you are. This is not
Beverly Hills, nor is it Hollywood. When their parents said "go
west", West Hollywood began attracting an "outskirts" crowd nearly a
century ago. Outside the city bounds of surrounding regions with
their restrictions during prohibition, West Hollywood became the
place that even the most respectable folks would congregate for
entertainment. And it continues to carry that tradition of
living, loving and making a statement that you can live outside the
box in West Hollywood.
During the
Halloween season, in addition to this lively Drag Race event, you
will find a doggy costume contest, parks and recreation activities
for youth, and the big daddy of Halloween events, the West Hollywood
Carnaval, with dozens of live bands and over 500,000 people
attending.
