The drag scene in Denver is bigger and better than ever — in 2013, Miss Queen of Aces showed the city what it took to put on a successful and community-driven beauty-pageant fundraiser. Tracks’ Drag Nation also took a turn in the spotlight for its Best Ongoing Drag Event. Inspired by the beautiful performers who give their all to these fantastic shows, here’s a list of our favorite local drag-queen monikers.
