The annual "drag queen drop" is an offbeat warm-weather take-off on the traditional New Year's Eve "ball drop" in New York's Times Square.

Perched in a super-sized red high heel, Lavishly gowned drag queen Sushi ruled the festivities at the Bourbon Street Pub/New Orleans House complex.

Sushi was seated in a ruby slipper, suspended high above spectators on the island city's famed Duval Street.

Seconds before midnight, the red heel carrying Sushi was lowered from the complex's balcony toward the crowd below.

As midnight struck, she landed and popped a cork on a ceremonial bottle of champagne to welcome 2010.

Elsewhere in the Florida Keys, multiple fireworks displays celebrated the arrival of 2010.

All I can say is that I know what all good drag queens know, the guys who write to say how awful this is are really GAY as can be but don't want to accept it in themselves. Real men could care less. So to you guys who hate this kind of stuff, get real and come out of your closets.
