"As the festive season gets underway, Booters Butch Bar served up a merry special treat that certainly won't fit under your tree: the Dyke Santa contest. Hosted at the Old Nun's Head, on Nunshead Green in Peckham, the event was MCed by Booters Butch Bar 's own Oran Keaveney. They were joined on the judging panel by London drag scene staple Nat Funni and Vic Smith, manager at longstanding New York City lesbian dive bar Cubbyhole."
"From dykey Santas to femme Mrs Clauses, reindeers, elves and even a Grinch who handed out raw Brussel sprouts to attendees, the contestants were as varied as baubles on a Christmas tree. One butch fireman Santa gave the judges a sneak peek at what they had in their sack, a South London elf demonstrated their techniques for evading TFL while another Santa showed off their, ahem, slay-bells, and stripped down to their gift-wrapped pants for the screaming crowd."
Booters Butch Bar staged a Dyke Santa contest at the Old Nun's Head in Peckham, MCed by Oran Keaveney with judges Nat Funni and Vic Smith. Contestants channeled a wide range of Christmas personas, from dykey Santas and femme Mrs Clauses to reindeers, elves and a Grinch handing out raw Brussels sprouts. Rounds included a runway through a crowd of attendees and an interview segment where audience volunteers sat on contestants' laps and declared whether they had been naughty or nice. Performances mixed humor, flirtation and sexualized stunts, including suggestive reveals and kisses. The competition emphasized queer community creativity, playfulness and festive subversion.
