A spotlight lit up center stage in the Cats Den as two performers came out. Dressed in white high heels, a curly blonde wig and a short skirt was Erik Bentley, a psychology freshman; the other performer, dressed in a white tank top and baggy jeans, was Melissa Gross, an arts administration and art history sophomore.

They danced around the stage and entertained the crowd by lip-syncing to "Toxic" by Britney Spears under the stage names of "Dolly Blueheels" and "Ben Dover."

Their "Toxic" performance was the last of five acts by drag queens as part of GAYLA, held on Tuesday night. The GAYLA was an event to celebrate the second anniversary of OUTsource on UK's campus.
