Some of St. Pete’s finest public figures and professionals will be dragged to the stage this weekend for an amateur holiday drag competition benefiting Winter Pride St. Pete.

The lineup includes Pastor Andy Oliver, attorney Lee Pearlman, Baycare addiction psychiatrist Jason Fields, SarasotaOUT.com founder and editor Josh Beadle and Cocktail bartender Jennifer Rogers.

The audience (21+) will decide if they’re busted or beautiful (but it’s the holidays, so they’ll probably be nice).

There is no cover for “Yule Be Gagged,” happening Sunday, Dec. 7 in St. Pete.
