Meet The Hostess
On this night full of glamour, Nova is invited to host and judge our eleven contestants for this beauty pageant. Nova's ability to perform goes further than a master’s degree in theater arts. Nova's also passionate about the opportunities this has created for advocacy. The proceeds from at least 50% of the work Nova has done in drag since moving to Spokane in the early 2000s have gone to support charitable causes and organizations like the Spokane AIDS Network, Odyssey Youth Center, and Believe in Me.
