The Alternative Miss Limerick 2001 
Featuring Miss Panti, Shirley Temple Bar, Vada Beaux Reves and Dolly November 17 at 9pm, Glentworth Hotel, Limerick

It has been almost a year since the Alternative Miss Limerick burst into being with a splash of glamour and a smattering of sequins (the like of which had never been seen in the West of Ireland). In a memorable finale Miss Lillet Shannon Banks river danced her way to the title, and a new chapter in history fell open in the Treaty City.

A year on, and it is all systems for this years event which is presented by Yum-Yum and will take place in the Glentworth Hotel on Saturday November 17. Strengthening Limericks ties with the Alternative Miss Ireland, this year, the gracious hostess for the evening will be the beloved Miss Panti. Panti will guide the contestants through a day wear, swim wear, evening wear and of course talent round. Panti will be joined by special guests Shirley Temple Bar, host of RTE’s Telly Bingo, Veda Beaux Reves, a previous Alternative Miss Ireland winner and Dolly.

Among the queens vying for this years crown are Fabula Di Beaumarchais (Dih - BOW - mahr - SHAY) who is the single greatest Female Impersonator Cork city will ever know by her own reckoning. Several failed marriages have left her with ample support so she fills her days up with shopping, charity work, random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. Fabula has also revealed that “Until I discovered the Miracle of Cher, my upbringing was so blue-collar I thought I was a smurf!!!”.

Also from Cork comes Vera Von Tramp who has an affection for adjectives. She describes herself as “Absolutely amazing, bootylicious, beautiful, caring, cute, delicious, daring, extravagant, extravert, funny, flirty, gorgeous, gregarious, horny, humping, indecent, interesting, jokey, jerky, kissable, kind, loving, lick able, masterful, mothering, nubile, naughty, open, orgasmic, pretty, pouty, queeny, quick, ravishing, ruthless, sexy, sassy, tarty, tight, understanding, unusual, vixen, vampy, willing, wanting, xtra sensual, xtra rude, youthful, yummy, zany and zestful.”

Travelling from Galway will be Titney Queers who has a natural liking for spotlight, and a dislike for corduroy and flannel. Her ambition is to cleanse, tone and moisturise on a global scale, to become the ultimate pop tartlet and to promote a universal sense of taste and flare for alternative types

Limerick lass Leslie B Anne, the reigning Miss Cosmo likes- men, sex, sex and drink, she hate women and minerals.

New to the drag scene and veiled in a layer of secrecy and intrigue is Angela’s Lashes a lady who insists that the emphasis is put on ‘Lashes’. Angela is a strict dominatrix who has a covert gentle side.

All these and of course many more will be taking to the catwalk in the Ballroom of the Glentworth on November 17. Doors open 8pm, show starts at 9pm- followed by Yum-Yum (which is completely renovated and back in its original home in the basement of the hotel).
