Friday night at 5 p.m., Goldstein Auditorium was buzzing with excitement. After all, it would be hard to keep calm as some of the nation's biggest celebrities rolled onstage. For a moment, it looked as if Lady Gaga, Beyoncé and Britney Spears were actually in the room. In reality, however, it was their drag show counterparts competing in the 14th annual Totally Fabulous Drag Show.
Eight years ago, the show became an event funded by Syracuse University. It has continually gained popularity. This year's drag show sold out Goldstein Auditorium and raised more than $200 for Haiti and AIDS research charities.
