second annual Mr. Gay Philadelphia

A gay old time for a good cause
"Project Runway" contestant Jack Mackenroth will be among judges of the second annual Mr. Gay Philadelphia Aug. 15 at the Levitt Auditorium at the Gershman Y (401 S. Broad) to benefit ActionAIDS and City of Hope. The HIV-positive Mackenroth left the Bravo show early last season after a health crisis.
Bruce Yelk of nightlifegay.com has teamed up with Thom Cardwell and James Duggan of BUCKmonkey.net to promote the event, which will also feature Village Voice columnist Michael Musto and Mickey Boardman, aka Mr. Mickey, a reporter/columnist for Paper magazine.
Interested contestants must identify themselves as gay or bisexual and can apply online at nightlifegay.com. The winning contestant from Philly will compete at the 2008 North American Mr. Gay in Los Angeles. *
