Dish-Houston

Divas of DereonHouse of Deréon Media Center is hosting an extravagant drag contest. On October 25, 2012, 15 of the most “dragalicious” entertainers in Texas will compete for the title of “Miss Diva of Dereon 2012.”

The Divas of Deréon Drag Contest is an exclusive event that was created to help bring unity back to Houston’s gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, and transgender (GLBT) community. Divas of Deréon Drag Contest will celebrate the most talented female illusionists in Texas.

A portion of the proceeds generated will benefit local charities such AIDS Foundation Houston and Bering Omega Community Service.

Divas of Deréon Drag Contest producer, Aaron Courtland, wanted to provide a unique and elegant forum for female illusionists to display their many talents. “This isn’t your backwoods, hole-in-the-wall drag show,” said Courtland. He tells contestants to channel their “inner diva” and bring their “A” game.

The Divas of Dereon Drag Contest will be emceed by the 2012 Miss Gay Texas winner Kara Dion and her twin, 2001 Miss Gay Texas winner Tara Dion. There will also be special surprise performances by Kara & Tara Dion as well as extraordinary characters from event entertainers Puppet Pizzazz.

Responsible for selecting Miss Diva of Deréon 2012 are local celebrity judges, Joy Sewing, ShopGirl Fashion blogger and fashion editor for the Houston Chronicle, television personality Erica Rose, and Travis Cal, designer & stylist to the stars.

Well this has already started with some drama!! The screening for the Bachelor Pad reality show is coming up and of course there will be a party with our very own local gal Erica Rose. She is on the show again this season.

She recommended another local guy be on it as well and all seemed fine and dandy until...dun dun dun....it turns out he was caught trying to oust her on the very first episode!! WHAT??? YES, Girl!!

More drama! It seemed that was put behind them until this party happens! Yes, the one DISH is about to invite you to attend! His (we aren't mentioning his name on purpose) name was on the invite and he was also supposed to be there when he BACKED OUT!! After all of that work on so many people's parts and he backs out saying he had fallen in love and was going to be out of town with his new girl. WHATEVER! If you give your word and make a commitment your arse better be there! Love, if it's love will be there in an hour! UGH!

Another little inside info about this thoughtless jerk, apparently he showed up at one of DISH'S events and one girl was trying to get people to take pictures with him and you couldn't pay folks to! Not because he was some reality show wanna be but because no body knew who he was! What a TOOL!

Good thing he won't be there on the 30th or he might have gotten a face full of DISH! =)

Anyway, put it on your schedule! June 30 at Capitol at St. Germain!
