In Drag Night Namibia’s (DNN) ball culture, there are three ratings to seal your fate. A bright red ‘X’ means you’re chopped and your head is on the block. ‘10’ is a slay and you’re probably still in play. A photo of Rihanna in a crown means you brought the whole house down.
At DNN’s recent ‘Pride Kiki Ball’, the crowd awaited these appraisals as a mix of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex and other (LGBTQI+) community members and allies took to the rainbow stage.
Eager to impress ball judges Miss Mavis Dash, Queen Cleopatra and Lavinia Kapewasha, contestants battled for the top spots in the categories of best dressed: corporate realness, face, runway, body and performance.
The event, held under the theme ‘Show us Your Pride’, was the first in Windhoek’s Pride Month celebrations.
