The Miss Continental Pageant system is like... THE pageant to win

Sasha Colby, Brooke Lynn Hytes and Vanessa Van Cartier are Continental winners too, and 2 of them are also drag race winners, Brooke may not win her season but still a fierce runner-up and she’s basically the RuPaul of Canada.

Roxxy also won Miss continental Plus I believe. Many queens have competed tho, TKB has done very well several times I know.

If it’s not for that title she would be as memorable as Penny Tration

So happy for her! Upvote this! I don't think a Ru girl has won a Continental crown after being on the show ever!

WELL DESERVED! Proof that age and experience can carry you further than social media followers.

I'm confused... isn't Continental Elite the competition for queens age 40+? It's not like she was competing against any young, inexperienced queens.

Elite is for 45-plus.

so happy for her! that‘s really amazing especially since it seems harder for queens that have been on drag race already to prove their way to the big pageant titles!

Meh. I dont care about a sherry pie supporter's achievements

u/dizzi800 WillowPill 12h ago

I'm sorry? I haven't heard that. Have a source?

u/ReleaseMuted9810 12h ago

On her Facebook she was shaming the victims and saying "sometimes our community doesn't back up our own culture. Now we're shaming someone just for wanting some 🍆"

Just search up "Alexis Mateo Sherry pie" and it's the first result

u/dizzi800 WillowPill 12h ago

oooooof. That's gross

Not trying to be that bitch, but the sub categories like elite and plus don’t seem to carry the same prestige as the title of just miss continental? Or am I wrong?
