Here She Comes... Miss Amphipolis
An episode of Xena that satirises beauty contests. Some 25 years later it can also be seen to be making a statement on Trans issues.
Salmoneus returns and is now running a beauty contest. Miss Known World and someone is trying to sabotage it with the contestants finding themselves in danger. The fallout could lead to a war between the sponsors.
Xena enters as a contestant as Miss Amphipolis. Gabrielle pretends to be her sponsor. Miss Artiphys is a contestant who is a transexual character rather than a man in drag who hopes is not found out.
The episode was made at a time when shows like Baywatch were in their prime. The opening scenes features women running on a beach.
It is a silly fun episode that allows Lucy Lawless to camp it up and maybe play up her own sex symbol image. It works better than it should had.
