“Holiday” was the theme at the 21st Winter Is a Drag Ball hosted by the gender-bending babes of the House of LeMay. This year’s Valentine’s Day eve party inspired festive costumes related to Christmas, Halloween, St. Paddy’s Day, Labor Day and Black Friday, among many others.
Seven Days staff photographer Matthew Thorsen was there to capture the irreverent debauchery. Proceeds from the party benefited the Vermont People With AIDS Coalition.

Hey — Any chance someone could make this available to iPhones and iPads that can’t run flash?!
Wanna check it out but don’t have the right equipment. (Old story, I know)
Nc,
Thanks for the feedback! If you’re viewing this slideshow on mobile it does not require Flash, but on the desktop version (which you’re looking at if you’re on an iPad) still uses Flash-based slideshows. We’re anticipating a fix for this within the next few months!
