A HOOT 'N' HOLLER WOMANLESS PAGEANT - "Girls" Just Wanna Have Fun, Memorable Photo Experience |

Dancin' the night away, to cheers and jeers It was a hoot and holler Friday night at the second annual "Womanless Beauty Pageant" held at Calhoun Middle/High School, sponsored by "Heaven's Helpers," a Relay for Life team at Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center. Despite the serious nature of raising money for the American Cancer Society, the plugs were pulled and nervy men donned female attire before a packed crowd, who laughed and roared at the performances. It has become one of the best attended affairs, with WVRC radio personality Toby Wagoner giving it special energy. The highlight of the evening was the crowing of the new 2002 "Queenie Weenie," selected by a panel of judges, including Al Sergi, Danny Finch and Sherry Beall, with auditors Angie Hersman and Neva Bailey.
 The Soggy Bottom Boys escape from the holler
Cheryl Jarvis sings "You Light Up My Life"
The "Hee Haw" Girls perform comedy
Minnie's Mice sing "Where Oh Where Are You Tonight" The new "Queenie Weenie 2002" was Curvy Curttina, dazzled the judges and inspired the crowd by vamping among them. Second runner-up was Teenie Tanya and first runner-up was Luscious Leslie, their real names to be divulged by word-of-mouth. Cancer survivor Faye Fitzwater took time to tell the audience about her two bouts with cancer, and how the disease affects most families, sooner or later. Fitzwater encouraged everyone to participate in Relay for Life this year. In addition to the "girls" performing customary acts associated with beauty pageantry, the crowd enjoyed some outstanding entertainment provided by the wonderful voices of Cheryl Jarvis and Amy Collins, the Soggy Bottom Boys, Minnie's Mice and the Hee Haw Girls. The womanless contestants also performed pageant talent. Wild Wilda performed a hog calling routine; Irresistible Ida Mae performed a comedy routine; Sensual Simone sang "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun;" Teenie Tanya played the mandolin and sang Tiny Tim style; Curvy Curttina sang "What a Girl Wants"; Maunakai shimmied her hula dance through the audience; Foxy Roxy read a brilliant original poem "I writ it myself" and Miss Ellie sang "You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man." The Relay for Life "Heaven's Helpers" team expresses their deep appreciation to the community for supporting this event.
