To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar

After tying for the win in New York City's "Drag Queen of the Year" contest, Noxeema Jackson and Vida Boheme win a trip to Hollywood to take part in the even bigger "Miss Drag Queen of America Pageant". Before they depart, Vida persuades Noxeema to take along the inexperienced "drag princess" Chi-Chi Rodriguez as their protégé (they initially refer to him simply as a "boy in a dress" rather than as a fully-fledged drag queen). To do this, they trade in their airplane tickets for cash and buy a stylish but old Cadillac convertible with money given to them by John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. They set off for Los Angeles, California in it, carrying with them an iconic autographed photo of Julie Newmar (signed, ''"To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar"'') that Vida purloined from a restaurant wall.
