KEY WEST, Fl - Thousands of people in balmy Key West, Florida welcomed the New Year with the "drop" of a renowned female impersonator perched in a super-sized red high heel. The annual "drag queen drop" is an offbeat warm-weather take-off on the traditional New Year's Eve "ball drop" in New York's Times Square.

Lavishly gowned drag queen Sushi ruled the festivities at the Bourbon Street Pub/New Orleans House complex - seated in a ruby slipper suspended high above spectators on the island city's famed Duval Street.

Seconds before midnight, the red heel carrying Sushi was lowered from the complex's balcony toward the crowd below. As midnight struck, she landed and popped a cork on a ceremonial bottle of champagne to welcome 2010.
