It's about stilettos and alter-egos, tucking and tiaras, glitz and ganglands. As 14 contestants battle it out for the title of Miss Gay Western Cape in South Africa's biggest female impersonator pageant, we follow three contestants through the prelim rounds, into the back-stories of their lives, all the way to the outrageous spectacle of the night.
