Miss Bette Davis, in da house! This is my friend Rit Lon, channeling Baby Jane Hudson, perhaps Ms. Davis’ most infamous role.

This poor little tourist lady I don’t think quite realized what she was getting herself into when she asked to have her picture taken with a drag queen.

There are actually a lot of straight men who participate in the High Heel Race. Here’s one who is obviously a first-timer in heels, resting his feet before the big event. He was part of a group of friends participating to raise awareness for a friend of theirs who was competing in an ironman/ironwoman contest to raise money for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.

This is the first in a series – I’ll finish posting over the weekend, as I have over 200 shots to edit through.

All these were shot with my Canon 5D and the 24-105 L lens.
