Tranapus Rex takes home Mr Cobalt crown

Congratulations to Tranapus Rex, who took home the title of Mr Cobalt at the 2013 Mr/Ms Cobalt competition! Tranapus competed last year, and the gender fucker has obviously honed his skills since, because he blew the roof (and had me blowing other things) each week of the competition. Tranapus will make his debut performance as Mr Cobalt at Shindig: Sissy Sock Hop, at The Cobalt on April 20.
