7th Annual Beauty Ball

It's time to break out your wigs and break in your heels!! Philadelphia's 7th annual amateur drag party, the Beauty Ball, will take place Saturday, November 5th. Join us from 7pm-10pm at the upstairs dance floor of Woody's and help us raise money for the William Way LGBT Community Center! The always hilarious and stunning BEV will be the Mistress of Ceremonies. Philly's own DJ Carl Michaels will be spinning your favorite hits all night long. Guests are not required to come in drag and everyone is welcome; however, there will be a lip-sync competition for those that do decide to embrace their inner queen/king - a competition that Bev herself won three years ago!! An all star panel of judges will decide who wins based on 1 minute "kamikaze" lip-syncs. The winner gets a "crown" and bragging rights for a full year - "May the best woman win! The Beauty Ball was started by Dr. Patrick Barrett seven years ago, and was initially just a gathering of his friends held in his apartment. The event was so popular that it moved to the Gayborhood and held it's fourth annual event at Woody's. This year, Woody's has once again generously donated their space. As mentioned above, your attendance and donation will help benefit The WIlliam Way LGBT Community Center. The WIlliam Way Center was incorporated as the gay and lesbian community center of Philadelphia back in 1974, and has been encouraging, supporting, and advocating for the well-being and acceptance of sexual and gender minorities in the Greater Philadelphia area though service, recreational, educational and programming ever since.
