The fabulously raunchy Mr. Lower East Side Pageant is back on the Lower East Side.
Last year, event coordinator Rev Jen Miller moved the bawdy show to Brooklyn, saying, “all creative activity has been exiled from the neighborhood due to greedy landlords.” But a few days ago, the Facebook message went out, announcing the 17th annual pageant at the Slipper Room on Orchard Street.
It will be March 21, 9 p.m.-midnight. More from the Facebook invite:
The Lower East Side’s “night of nights” returns! Calling all dudes! Get there, and be prepared to GET WEIRD, to win the ONLY title that means anything: the highly coveted title of Mr. Lower East Side!!! Ladies and gay men, prepare to sit in judgement, of the country’s finest sausage parade! Rev Jen is the ringmaster of this circus! LET THE TRASH TALK COMMENCE!!!
