Latika and Hedley had just arrived at 5.40am Friday morning but we thought they shouldn't miss a classic Samoan cultural show - the Miss Drag queen 2008. Adam and I worked through the day and left our guests to rest and catch up on some sleep, apparently the flight over was a bit bumpy and not very restful.
Friday night and we headed out the the Hotel Kitano where the competition was being held. There were 14 contestants and the show was absolutely hilarious. Quite a mixture of Faafas - some very feminine - some very masculine! We were treated to a number of lip-synched songs but the best category was the "what you want to be when you grow up" category with a sniper, photographer, lawyer, business woman but the best of all was the astronaut! This was the costume replicated by Hedley the next night when we held the Miss Hyundai Competition at our house - complete with vacuum cleaner pipe and bike helmet. I tell no lies. Guess who Latika wanted to be? Yep - the sniper!!
The outfits were elaborate with much floaty chiffon and glitter and glam. Not sure we agreed with the final winners but it was an excellent night out and we sure got our quota of laughter medicine.
