Last night the new Mr. and Miss Gay Asian Pacific Islander were crowned–Mr. Melvin Foifua and Miss Marisa Rachinee. The reason I haven’t got a picture of the two of them together for you is because there was a bit of drama when, right after the audience emptied, the judges realized that there had been an incorrect tabulation of the votes and the wrong girl had originally been crowned.

Aside from that, a good time was had. The crowd was rowdy, Chaka Kwan and Teriyaki Temple made great hostesses, and all the performances–from dragon dancing to salsa to Britney Spears–were amazing.

Congrats, Melvin and Marisa!
