This year 47 men are asking for your vote, or so it seems. A closer look at 27 year-old coverboy candidate "Allix" suggest things might not be what they appear.
Allix, a.k.a. Maximum Head, Pux Allot or Allix Allot, is a well-known drag king. You wouldn't know it reading the provided bio Metro Weekly lists along with Allix's photos. Unbeknownst to the other candidates, and maybe even Metro Weekly, Allix is looking to do the unthinkable: become Metro Weekly's "Nightlife Coverboy of the Year" as a drag king!
According to Allix Allot's bio on DCKings, "Allix developed a deep-seated animosity for all authority figures as well as a deep-rooted affinity for all things kinky and hard core. His early exploits and favorite vices are well documented in juvenile court and reform school files."
Should Allix's animosity for authority allow him to break the rules? All this week, until November 28, voters will choose the top ten for a final vote December 2-8. To vote for Allix, click here.
