My mother, dressed up for a Boy George look-alike competition somewhere in the mid 80’s. She came 2nd.Scared_Variation_521 t1_itolvmf wrote
Who came first?

Some guy who could apparently also do some signature Boy George twirl or something.

to be fair, at that time (I was alive then) if you had two contestants who both closely resembled boy george, and one of the contenstants was a boy, that contestant was going to win. Boy George was really the first time that you had a crossdresser hit that level of popularity so to ignore the crossdressing aspect in a look alike contest was not likely to happen. But tell mom she crushed it.

That makes total sense! I’ll relay that to my mother because it’s been about 37-38 years and she still talks about her disappointment for losing. 😆
