Title: Not Your Usual Pageant
Review: Each year since 1973, a group of crossdressing gay men has gathered to crown the new Miss Gay America. Pageant is a documentary focusing on the 2006 contest in Memphis.The fascinating aspect of Pageant is its people. It is always revealing to watch a person who becomes immersed in a hobby. These men have become so enamored of chasing the title that they reveal themselves unintentionally in many ways.The amount of time and effort that the characters devote to the pageant is amazing. Some of the performances in the contest are amazing. The film draws the viewer in so that the viewer feels for the men who do not place in the coveted Top Ten.Pageant is a fun look at a subculture about which most of America knows nothing.
