Contestants sought for Bath's first alternative queen contest
Baths first “Alternative
Queen” competition promises to be a right royal
delight.
If you consider
yourself slightly bizarre and eccentric then you are most cordially invited to
enter this regal jubilee pageant. Part of this years Fringe Festival, The
Alternative Queen of Bath contest will form the finale of the Exposition of
Cabaret, Vintage Fashion and Burlesque, in association with Smutter &
Snells and Bath Fringe, being held at the Speigeltent on the afternoon of
Sunday 10th June.
Taking inspiration
from Andrew Logan’s ‘Alternative Miss World’
this true diamond event promises to be a right royal delight. The theme will be
of course ‘60 Glorious Years’
and contestants costumes and titles should reflect a momentous event that has
occurred since 1952. It could be their birth, death, punk, space travel, the
digital age or they could enter simply because they are truly blue blooded!
Promoters, Smutter
& Snells, have announced that the contest will be hosted by Countess Ars’Uppi,
compere of Bath's premier burlesque night, Coco Boudoir. When asked about the
event, The Countess said "Our gracious Queen has enjoyed 60 years of
frocking up on behalf of the nation, why not share that experience by showing
some of your own fabulous creations in this celebration of sequins and velvet
".
Contest organisers
are keen to encourage people to find their creative side "we are looking
for people who enjoy dressing up, have their tongues firmly in their cheeks and
would really relish being Bath’s Alternative Queen." says the
Countess.
All contestants have
to do is come up with a good idea and complete the application form found on
our website: http://thealternativequeenofbath.blogspot.co.uk/p/apply.html or email: thealthernativequeenofbath@gmail.com for more information. Contestants will
need to be 18 or over, have a title and a concept for showing off, including
costume design and a short performance.
