Take a behind-the-scenes look at the 1967 Miss All-America Camp Beauty Pageant, hosted by 24-year-old Jack Doroshow — better known as Flawless Sabrina — the legendary pageant impresario and longtime fixture of New York’s queer community. Between rehearsals, the contestants dish on gay relationships, the Draft, and navigating effeminacy and gender play in a cis man’s world. Newly restored by Kino Lorber, this fascinating time capsule of pre-Stonewall queer culture proves that drag has always been serious business.
