Tonga's Miss Galaxy pageant for 2004 lived up to its reputation as an outrageous, and fun-packed fashion show of young men dressing up as girls, wearing the most fantastically designed costumes.
On the first appearance of the 11 contestants last night, July 13, they were judged in two categories, Own Creation and International Wear.
Tonight July 14, the contestants will be judged on another two categories, Hat Creation and Talent. On Thursday night, the final, the contestants will be judged on three categories, Evening Gown, Galaxy Wear and Interview before the Miss Galaxy for 2004-05 is announced.
Our photographer Emma Fletcher was at the first appearance of the Miss Galaxy contestants last night and captured the colour, the creativity and the fun.
