Winner of Midnight Monster contest in Austin

Oil Can Harry’s, Austin’s most famous bar, hosted the first annual Midnight Monster contest on Halloween night. It was not just people dressed in costumes getting judged, but full performance art from some very dedicated people. Much more entertaining than walking along 6th street!

The winner of the contest was an Austinite known only as Xtra. She told me that she can be found on Instagram at Soo_xtra

I posed with her multi-armed persona on stage, with Lady Grackle (host of the contest) at the right, and Ritzy Bitz on the left.
