The Other Half Of Me
Opportunity Frocks
Opportunity Frocks
Opportunity Frocks was a drag competition/ pageant that expanded all known definitions of beauty and of course campness.

Inspired by Hugie Greens Opportunity Knocks, JP EVENTS grabbed the traditions of a pagaent , added a bit of hollywood glamour, threw in three X factoresque judges by the heels and dropped them head first on to the stage in Canvas @ Arta for one, literally incredible camp night.

This pageant embraced men, women and anything else you can possibly imagine (and there was quite a lot of imagining) in spectacular competition for the title of Opportunity Frocks Winner 2008 — The Ultimate UK Drag Queen.
About The Competition
Throughout summer 2008 drag queens from all over UK were battling out ( yes you heard correct ) to win regional/ city or town heats .
The winners of each Heat then travelled to Glasgow to compete in the Grand Final hosted by JP EVENTS to be held in Arta, Albion Street Glasgow on November 29th November 2008.

The premise of the show was quite obvious; the Drag Queens were judged on three rounds: Hollywood heroine, Swim-wear and Cabaret performance. A group of celebrity judges awarded points for outrageousness, personality and talent and after considerable nail-biting and some superb "filler" entertainment the winner was crowned.

Dragging ( excuse the pun, please) performance into the future, this camp spectacular was an hilarious, exotic and at times downright beautiful event, with a serious and caring purpose at its heart.
The charity side of things
Each drag queen/ venue entering were asked to raise money for Terrence Higgins Trust . The THT team ran their raffle too and between both parties they raised over £1000.
The Judges
1. Cheri Treiffel - Top drag act


2.Cecilia Fate - Drag artist and Cheri's Double act.

3.Sheila Kerr - Designer of the Second prize - the marvelous tiara
The Host
Comedian - Scott Agnew
