Today we have an awesome guest entry by _bettina_! ♥

December 14th:

Picture:

This is Conchita Wurst and yes, the beard is real. Isn't she gorgeous? :)
Conchita is an Austrian drag queen and this year she won the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Rise like a Phoenix" for Austria. There was quite the controversy when the ORF (Austrian national TV station) nominated her to represent us at the ESC. Not everyone was happy about it, not here and not in other countries, but in the end she managed to win over a whole lot of people and she did rise like a phoenix. :)

Have a few more pictures of this beautiful lady! (click on the pictures for larger versions)

This is Conchita's performance at the Eurovision Song Contest final. I still get goosebumps watching this, especially when I hear the audience singing along!

Conchita Wurst: "Ich will, dass mich Frauen beneiden"
A wonderful interview in German, but even if you don't speak German it's worth it to click on the link just for the gorgeous pictures!

Rec:

I'm not actually aware of any Conchita fanfiction, but to keep with the drag queen theme have:

Enter Derek Hale, the nightclub's bouncer and the only guy willing to lend a hand.

Enjoy! :)

She's so beautiful! That black gown is especially stunning.

Thanks for the interview link too. I thought what she said about choosing to be strict with herself was very interesting.

She really is! I think she could wear a tent or something and she'd still look stunning! :)
