A regular visitor to the Waikato's Venom nightclub became Mr. Gay Hamilton in a low-key contest last night, and says the experience "feels so surreal!" Antz Walters, Mr. Gay Hamilton 2007 Antz Walters, a 20-year-old Libra/Scorpio barman, says he and his boyfriend Craig are loyal Venom customers. The couple met in the Victoria Street venue and have been partners for the past two months. Walters received a sash, victory statue, and trip to Sydney for next year's Mardi Gras parade and party. The Mr. Gay Hamilton pageant on Saturday night was noticeably a lower-key event in comparison with Mr. Gay Waikato events of previous years at the Next Door Bar. Drag hostess Miss Gloriousole gave small buttonhole roses to twenty guys in the bar on the night, who were then invited on stage to briefly introduce themselves. Then an hour later, after a brief 'butt-dancing' show on stage, the runners-up and winner were announced. "When they announced my name I thought they might have gotten the names mixed up," says Walters modestly. "I never expected to win. It's awesome." Ref: GayNZ.com (m)
