“Was that real shit coming out of her ass?”

The porch outside of Mary’s in East Atlanta Village was buzzing after a round of “Filth” inspired performances last Thursday night. The word on everyone’s lips: poop.

Mary’s has always been a breeding ground of drag experimentation. It’s a place for the freaks, geeks, and misfits of ATL’s queer community to stretch their legs and pop their proverbial pussies on that iconic staircase. The stage in question may be small, but it has been a launchpad for many seasoned queens, ie: Brigitte Bidet, Dax Exclamationpoint, Lavonia Elberton, and Violet Chachki.

After months of waiting, the annual Miss Glitz Pageant is back and filthier than ever! Ellisorous Rex, the woman behind the curtain, is ushering in a slew of new queens (and kings) every Thursday night until finale night on June 1st.

This new batch of fresh faced queens are consistently bringing out a crowd and keeping us on our toes. It would be unfair to say who exactly we are rooting for, since WUSSY’s own Zaida J is serving as a guest judge for the pageant.

The theme for this past week was “FILTH” and okay, they did that! ICYMI: Abhorra (you may recognize her as The Other Show’s newest castmember) took a literal shit on a photo of Donald Trump. But that wasn’t enough to beat bearded queen, Molly Rimswell, who also drenched herself in a mysterious brown liquid while grinding to “Did It On’Em” by Nicki Minaj. Apparently these new girls are really into scat play.
