The date for Auckland's Queen of the Whole Universe pageant has been announced, with tickets on sale from September 13. The annual drag event is in its third year, and will raise funds for the New Zealand AIDS Foundation. This year's event is being held at the ASB Theatre (Aotea Centre, THE EDGE) on Friday 1 December, which coincides with World AIDS Day, a significant date for the NZAF. The pageant will feature drag queens representing countries as diverse as Burkina Faso, Costa Rica and Guatemala, and will include the special entry, ‘Miss World Wide Web.' Miss India is the reigning Queen of the Universe. Tickets, priced from $30, with discounts for group bookings, will sell out fast, say organisers. Ticketek is currently taking bookings on 09 307 5000. All seat prices include an invitation to the post-event party. Ref: GayNZ.com (d)
