Butch Queen in Drags Realness

"Twice The Charm" 

You've battled fem queens and butch queens alike for $1,000+ categories but tonight we only want true butch queen in drags to walk! (No hormones/sil or surge - we will be checking!) It starts as such! You will come out as a butch queen. (in a shirt where your chest area can clearly be seen/checked!) No headgear is allowed for this portion of the category. Once the judges have secured your not yet "up in drags," you will be given a pass to walk for grand prize! ** Note: The judges are not scoring you as a butch queen. ** Come back with your pass to walk in hand as your alter ego; a true woman in any effect of your choice!

No productions are allowed but props are okay! Pull out all the stops! Be prepared to speak! Its, $1,000! Tonight you'll make history as the winner of the first $1,000 Butch Queen in Drags Realness category. Calling legends, statements, stars & new bitches!!

(Note: these $20 re-entries aren't required but only optional for those "unbothered" who can turn a lost into a win!)

GRAND PRIZE CATEGORIES

OTA Runway - 4 trophies, 1 cash of $1,000
Legendary vs. $1,000 (or more) Club Members vs. OTYs vs. Challengers
“Dangerous Minds”
Fashion designers go into seclusion to create their most outstanding masterpieces. These dark, isolated getaways usually alter the designer’s mental state and often result in the creation of fashionable works of art that viewed as beautiful nightmares. Tonight, you will create your own beautiful nightmare by bringing an avant-garde ensemble inspired by your most dangerous weapon, the mind!!!

** Note: You must compete in the highest accomplishment based on the order in which we have them listed above. For this ball, to compete with the legendary group, you must be considered legendary for runway; $1,000 Club members must be someone who won $1,000 or more as an individual; team categories or taking it “as a house” are excluded from this league. OTYs can be from any ballroom city from any mainstream/women’s circuit awards. Challengers can be anyone who doesn’t meet any of the previous qualifications. **

OTA Fem Performance – 4 trophies, 1 cash of $1,000
Legendary vs. $1,000 (or more) Club Members vs. OTYs vs. Challengers
“Not Guilty By Reason of Insanity!”
Due to widespread delusions (false beliefs) of their being six elements of vogue and bizarre motor behaviors of only dipping and spinning, the art of voguing fem has been lost to classic symptoms of psychotic illness. With your face totally concealed tonight, you will suppress those irrational movements by performing for your 10s without dipping or spinning. (One dip or spin will result in an automatic chop!) For the battles, dips and spins will be allowed! Your performance must still be exciting and moving but will rely heavily on you being creative and original. Will your performance be enough to murder the competition or will your irrational moments get you thrown into the mental ward?

** Note: You must compete in the highest accomplishment based on the order in which we have them listed above. For this ball, to walk with the legendary group, you must be considered legendary for a fem performance category (BQ Vogue Fem, BQ Realness w/a Twist or FF Performance); $1,000 Club members must be someone who won $1,000 or more as an individual; team categories or taking it “as a house” are excluded from this league. OTYs must be for a fem performance category from any ballroom city from any mainstream/women’s circuit awards. Challengers can be anyone who doesn’t meet the previous qualifications. **

MINI GRAND PRIZE - $250.00
OTA Legendary Realness – 2 trophies
Male Figure vs. Female Figure
Another classic symptom of the mentally ill is erratic speech. Tonight, you will come and let us know one person who has been declared legendary for realness which you simply don’t see as legendary and why! Remember, erratic speech or behavior has no predictability or consistent rhythm. Makes the judges gag the entire time your speaking!

OPEN TO ALL CATEGORIES 

OTA Best Dressed – 2 trophies
Male Figure vs. Female Figure
The mentally ill have always been known to arrange awkward garments together to create their overall look. Tonight, our fashionistas will do the same! Implement a fashion "DON'T" into your overall look, but make sure it’s still the flavor and attitude of ballroom best dressed, along with your colored wig. Most importantly, be prepared to tell us which fashion don't you chose to defy! Will your fashion “NO” make our judges scream “YES?” 

OTA Commentator vs. Commentator – 1 trophy
For your 10s, you will remix the chant, “There’s a pain in my brain and it’s driving me insane…” You are allowed to use the 1st bar in its entirety; come back to battle your competition with exclusive, original chants. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.

OTA Streetwear – 1 trophy
In lieu of being sentenced to jail time, the top streetwear villains have been sentenced to 200 hours of community service at their local mental asylum. Over time, you have built a strong connection with one ward of the state. You have to say goodbye and decide to come see them for one last time. Come totally done (head to toe with your head piece being a colored wig) with an international appeal in hand with a gift that would only be befitting coming from a streetwear-villian. We want the hottest, most insane looks; something NEW and exciting! Judges will score the look and the gift. (And even if you are chopped, the gift stays!) Winner takes the trophy plus all of the gifts. Who will reign as the streetwear villain? Calling the Milans, Lacroixs, Khans, Blahniks, Chanels, Balenciagas, Revlons, and whomever else thinks they have international fashion swag.

OTA Sneaker vs. Sneaker - 1 trophy
Your obsession with the hottest sneakers can’t be understood. Whether it’s one of a kind, limited edition, or exclusive...bring us something sickening!

OTA Virgin Runway - 1 trophy
In a classic white straightjacket, bring a walk that will make the crowd go insane. With your hands bound, will your mere walk set you apart from the competition? 

OTA Virgin Performance - 1 trophy
Schizophrenics are often convinced that others are out to harm them which leads to those “schizos” being fearful and withdrawn. “Kill or be killed” is often thought of those plagued byschizophrenia. Tonight, you will either kill or be killed by your fellow competitors. It is necessary that you come in all black (head to toe) to compete. 

OTA Futuristic Bizarre – 1 trophy
You’ve been committed to the mental asylum due to your irrational, delusional behavior at previous balls for 1000 years. What you witnessed at the asylum is unimaginable. Fast-forward to 3010, bring us a look straight from the mental asylum at time of your release lip-synching Pink’s “Funhouse.”

OTA Old Way vs. New Way – 2 trophies
Narcissistic personality disorder is a condition characterized by a need for admiration, extreme self-involvement, and lack of empathy for others. Tonight, you will personify this disorder by destroying the competition in a “no-holds bar,” grueling battle.

OTA Labels – 2 trophies
Male Figure vs. Female Figure
Most brides and grooms go hysterical on the day of their wedding! Tonight, will be the exception! Make the crowd go insane by adorning yourself in something old (vintage piece); something new (in current season); something borrowed and something blue!

OTA Foot & Eyewear – 2 trophies
Male Figure vs. Female Figure
Your eyewear will drive them crazy; your footwear will make them go insane. After tonight, they all will know your name! Fall/Winter 2010 pieces!

FEMALE FIGURE CATEGORIES

Female Figure Face – 3 trophies
Women vs. BQID vs. FQ 
Let's cause paranoia: the style of the beautiful Iconic Mother Danielle Revlon; the grace of the $5,000 doll herself, Legendary Mother Raquel Balenciaga and the attitude of the new school reigning divas, Mother Amiyah Chanel, Nadia Milan, Mother Shannon Khan, and Mother Lola Balenciaga....simply bring us glamour! (And remember it’s the Escada ball -- fashion forward looks are a must!)

BQID vs. FQ Realness w/ the Look & Attitude of a Celebrity – 2 trophies
One of the most memorable nights in Escada ballroom history is the evening when the realness competitors came out as celebrity look-a-likes. We will relive this night with old school and new school realness competitors coming together in 2010. Come out as the celebrity you feel you look the most like! Whether it’s Amiyah coming out as Janet Jackson,or Tonya Chanel coming out Ciara, make us know it! (No legends)

FF Sex Siren vs FF Body – 2 trophies
No more hesitation, leave us with frustration, as you come to sight -- leave us in the heat of the night! 

FF Glitz and Glam - 1 trophy
"Miss Escada 2010"
Come out tastefully done for your 10s. Remember, every aspect of your appearance will be judged! For the final battle, you will be asked to answer a question just as pagentry systems! Will your intelligence match your look and help you land the top spot? 

MALE FIGURE CATEGORIES

Male Figure Realness – 6 trophies
BQ School Boy vs. BQ Pretty Boy vs. BQ Executive vs. BQ Thug vs. Butch vs. Transman
Addiction can also be defined as a mental illness. Tonight, you will show us your addiction based on your realness category. (No legends!)
School Boy = video games
Pretty Boy = fashion/clothes
Executive = money
