Miss Strewniverse Pageant: ENZYME NYE TAKEOVER!
Welcome to the ultimate spectacle of defiance, outrage, and chaos. The Miss Strewnaverse Pageant is the end of all things sane where only the most flagrant of us dare to go. Leave your dignity at the door. You won't need it here.
Contestants will battle across 5 absurd categories:
👠 Dressage: Look What the Trade Dragged In – Disasterpiece Couture for those who carry
🎤 Glamquisition: The Art of Profound Pointlessness – A Q&A for the absurd. Make nonsense make sense
💃 Sashayology: The Study of Ostentatious Locomotion – Walk like last call never applies to you
🔥 Showboating: Excessive Self-Celebration – Who else could be the main character!?
💥 The Deviance Threshold – Defy physics with a performance that let's the world know the depths of your seething unapology
Hosted by Enzyme
The Miss Strewnaverse Pageant is also a fundraiser supporting the continuation of the Enzyme project
For those who’ve heard and those just tuning in: Enzyme lost its hearings with the Entertainment Commission and Planning Department. We can no longer host events unless we undergo a costly, complicated “Change of Use” process — with no guarantee of approval.
While we fight to hold onto the space, we’re reimagining sustainability within the city’s restrictive S1: Storage zoning, while also pursuing the possibility of a new space properly zoned for arts, nightlife, and third place community building.
Despite city pushback and costly violations, Enzyme has:
✨ Distributed 6,000 fentanyl test strips & 500 doses of Narcan
✨ Hosted countless QTBIPOC artists for events, studio space, and work
✨ Built a stable, horizontally organized, consensus-democracy-based place of work for a QTBIPOC staff
Your support fuels our survival. Be the crisis. Fund queer chaos. Donate to Enzyme <3
