The annual Bushwig festival—Bushwick's ode to drag and the exuberant hair pieces and ass-less pants therein—celebrated its second year on Saturday at Melrose Avenue's Secret Project Robot Room.
In addition to glam get-ups and plenty of bared flesh, this year's event featured 55 performances that included DJ sets, a barbeque, crafts, a photo booth, and performances from Jiggly Caliente (from Ru Paul's Drag Race), Horrochata, Babes Trust, Macy Rodman, Untitled Queen, Merrie Cherrie, Cherry Pepsi and more.
