On Sunday, I did a most-radical scavenger hunt in celebration of a friend's birthday. We ran-a-muck through the Mission in search of items to meet our list of clues. It was also during this party that I offered to help Team Chammee with their season finale entry for The Stud's "Project Runtway" competition, which was to take place the following evening...I went in knowing very little, but that was part of the fun!

Up until last night, I had never been to The Stud (Harrison x 9th), nor had I ever entered a competition of this type. But I figured, what a great way to do something creative (and new) on a Monday night...afterall, what else would I be doing? Sleeping? Cha'h! "Project Runtway" is an elaborate Project Runway-themed gathering in which contestants create teams and spend the hours of 10 to midnight constructing a look. The finale was wedding themed and the past winners all went head-to-head in a no hold barred battle of style. I know what you're thinking, and hell yeah, shit got fierce. Check it out:

Here's Team Chammee ready to cut a bitch:

What we're working with:

Matt aka Dirty Hairless (for the night):

Half way through the competition, the rules changed: teams working on men's garments had to switch it to female and vice versa. We had about 40% finished of some sort of tuxedo by then, which we flipped into a gown. Sashé!

Chanté!

The other queens got ready too...

Almost there!

Showtime! Did I mention that we had a performance? Matt lip-synched for his life to Etta James' "Stop the Wedding".

Makin' the crowd go wow:

I don't remember what team this was, but it was fairly wild...

That's Shady Bear:

And of course, Raya Light. I think this was my favorite picture of the evening:

What a blast. Unfortunately, we only got honorable mention, but the experience...fuck yes!
