Guinness World Record for Largest Stage Drag Show

Postby kandi.dolfen » Thu Apr 16, 2015 12:00 pm

On Sunday April 12, the Las Vegas Hard Rock Cafe hosted a Drag Queen World Record Attempt for charity and promoting its monthly Drag Queen Brunch. There were 61 Drag Queens in the official count.
You can view the article here;

While Guinness has yet to confirm the record, with Las Vegas’ final count of 61, Columbus (Ohio) might have to start planning its revenge. Because, as Drag Queen Brunch host Kitty Litter put it, “[We] just made drag history!”

How do you think they would react to seeing our Bahama Breeze pix @ 103?

Bahamas Breeze may well qualify as the largest number of TG women at a non-hotel restaurant. I know at SCC, there are way more people at the events in the hotel but the dinners at outside restaurants normally don't exceed 50 or so. Probably couldn't get Guiness to track that little bit of trivia.

Our Bahama Breeze gatherings are less than our all-time single most attended activity, which was at the now-closed Drink And Drag downtown in 2012. IIRC the count was 118.

My hunch is that FanFair has both SCC and DLV beat for this. FanFair has had some larger on-the-town gatherings over the years.

I searched on FanFair and found this;

This is also the name of a British girl group.
I'm sure you intended this one:

For those who were stuck under a rock last night and did not see the Big Show on ABC :) they made a reference to a 200-person TG chorus as part of the Glee series.

I'm sure it will be available for replay. Look on any talk show or news show today and you're bound to see a good recap.

It's probably the best mainstream media exposure to TGism of all time. (Yes, I know there are a few critics out there!)

I feel that to be a drag show everyone needs to perform in some way (lip sync, dance, sing etc) otherwise I would think they would be beat by most gay pride parades. I wonder if all 61 queens performed or if they just showed up.
