She gave the performance of a lifetime even though she believed she was at a job interview. Wearing an airbrushed, beaded t-shirt Krystal won the judges over nodding out in a back bend and suggesting we send all the city rats to Columbia, MD. Junkie...Bellydancer...Comedienne:
THE 2010 BALTIMORE QUEEN OF CRABS IS...
THE 2010 BALTIMORE QUEEN OF CRABS IS...
KRYSTAL DANGSHESKANKY
Our second place winner was elegant all evening even wearing North Avenue inspired fashions: hypodermic earrings, a rat stole, "tumble weaves" in her hair and a train of trash. But it was her original song "Baltimore I'm Yours" (sung in a comedic duet with a flamingo puppet) that stole our hearts. Move over "Hairspray," there's a new musical in the making!
ALMOST THE WINNER- A Close 2nd Place
ALMOST THE WINNER- A Close 2nd Place
SARAH JENNINGS
Drawing on her namesake, Shortstaxx retained an impressive beehive and diner style throughout all three rounds of the pageant. She was a vision of old school Charm- 1950's hemlines, Maryland flags cupping her bosom, crab claw earrings, and Mr. Boh tasseled pasties which she twirled like a pro.
NOT QUITE THE WINNER- In 3rd Place
SHORTSTAXX
