Annual NYC drag festival Bushwig couldn't hold its ninth, 2020 edition as usual this year because of COVID-19, but instead of calling off the fest entirely, organizers put together a masked, socially distanced fundraiser in Brooklyn's Maria Hernandez Park on Saturday.

The 2019 edition of Suicide Girls' nerdy-burlesque spectacular paid tribute to Black Panther, Suicide Squad, Star Wars, Sailor Moon, Game of Thrones, The Fifth Element, and more.

The festival's eighth year includes ’RuPaul's Drag Race’ season 11 Miss Congeniality winner Nina West, as well as a couple of other S11 competitors, Scarlet Envy and Soju.
