Founded in 1996, the Miss Lace Pageant has been a staple of entertainment during the week of the GNI Gathering. What began as a contest of men who competed for the coveted drag title, Miss Lace has now become a full production of evening entertainment that rivals even the best professionally paid, outside entertainment, thanks to our in-house hostesses over the years. No longer is is just a contest, it's a full-blown pageant! Surnames have been redacted for online privacy though they are retained by GNI in our permanent archives.
