From Opportunity to Frocks...

Throughout the summer of 2008, Drag Queens from all over UK were battling out for their chance to win in the heats and compete in the Opportunity Frocks Grand Final. The winners of each Heat, then travelled to Glasgow to compete in the Grand Final hosted in Arta, Glasgow on November 29th November 2008. Inspired by Hugie Greens Opportunity Knocks, JP EVENTS grabbed the traditions of a pageant, added a bit of Hollywood glamour, threw in three X factoresque judges by the heels and dropped them head first on to the stage. This pageant embraced men, women and anything else you can possibly imagine (and there was quite a lot of imagining) in spectacular competition for the title of Opportunity Frocks 2008 — The Ultimate UK Drag Queen.

The premise of the show was quite obvious; the Drag Queens were judged on three rounds: Hollywood heroine, Swim-wear and Cabaret performance. A group of celebrity judges awarded points for outrageousness, personality and talent and after considerable nail-biting and some superb "filler" entertainment, the winner was crowned. The show has since be relocated to Belfast, Northern Ireland as was a massive success with over 300 people attending the Grand Final. All of the previous winners are listed below.

The Show is now into its 3rd year and already we are gearing up to get the show pulled together in time for Novembers final. We are planning on making this years show our biggest yet, with the a few surprises from the format and the host.... watch this space. :)
