Miss Victoria “Porkchop” Parker (in blue) reacted to the news that she was crowned the winner of the 2013 Miss’d America Pageant Sept. 21 at House of Blues at the Showboat Casino Hotel. Parker bested 13 other drag queens, who went heel-to-heel in swimsuit, talent and evening-gown competitions, with the finalists also competing in a question-and-answer session. About 1,500 people turned out for the show, which raised funds for the Schultz-Hill Foundation and the Greater Atlantic City GLBT Alliance, which will distribute the funding among regional LGBT and HIV/AIDS organizations. The annual event parodies the mainstream Miss America Pageant, which this year returned to Atlantic City. Parker visited Philly to perform at the Venture Inn the following night. Photo: Scott Drake
