Sure, being a black Jewish paraplegic who's prone to seizures probably means you've got it rough. But for future drag queens of America, childhood was no picnic either.

Around 2am last Saturday morning, after performing and meeting up with friends at another bar, North Dakota drag queen JustNtyme had her 0 custom-made wig snatched off her head by a man on the street who screamed "fucking faggot" while running off with the tresses. He reported the incident to police, who have a "person of interest" after JustNtyme also sent over a Facebook screenshot of a person commenting, "You know it’s a good night when your friend rips a wig off a tranny and books it down Broadway." For now they're treating it as a simple misdemeanor; ugh. JustNtyme is now in New Orleans recuperating from the trauma, which is how we do.

VIDEO: It’s a tradition that’s been going on in Washington, DC since I first came out. The Drag High Heel Race. You gotta be in drag, and I think you have to be wearing at least 3 inch high heels. Then you run down a 2 block stretch of 17th street, the ancestral home of DC’s gay community (and there’s a pretty good prize, as I recall). It was always a hoot, and now has turned into a HUGE affair, attracting thousands of people every Halloween – and a ton of straight people too, with kids in tow. It’s a total hoot. Enjoy this video of this year’s race, from MW.
