Miss Galaxy Pageant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miss Galaxy Pageant is an annual event held in Nuku'alofa, Tongatapu in the Kingdom of Tonga that selects the "best" Fakaleiti. Although the word "Fakaleiti" is literally translated as transvestite, the fakaleiti is more of a completely feminized man who lives and works as a Fakaleiti.
Contestants often come from around the Pacific and further abroad. It is highly competitive and well attended, although sometimes lewd and provocative. A panel of judges rate the contestants in a number of different categories. A member of the Tongan Royal Family is usually in attendance.
The 2004-2005 winner was Miss Kahana Lagoon, Felicia Brown Acton (25).
