Key West has a new queen for New Year’s Eve – a drag queen, that is – who will ride the island’s iconic red high-heeled show down to Duval Street as the clock strikes midnight to ring in 2026.
Joey Schroeder, owner of Bourbon Street Pub, hosted an “If the Shoe Fits” pageant this year
to select a new shoe occupant.
Of the six contestants, the shoe fit Mulan Alexander best. First runner-up was CC Glitzer and second runner-up was Beatrix Dixie of Key West.
