Miss Powder Vacuum 2026

Miss Powder Vacuum 2026 is upon us and she’s summoning the most gifted and
challenged to guide us through another year of the end of this world! The time has come
once again to gather and groan over the absolute best and the absolute worst in search
of our most powdered prima donna.

Last year our debut debutante Miss Fanny Split McGee broke our hearts into a million
pieces and stitched them back together again with the threads from her gorgeous
tonne-bag dress (sturdy!) This year she returns to scrutinise her successor as they
traipse and tumble their way through two cut-throat categories: evening wear and talent.

Contestants of all shapes, sizes and species, handpicked through our annual casting
call, will do their best to seduce our judges and audience. Join us at The Douglas Hyde
for the return of a truly special pageant. Expect live performance, music, catfights and
the crowning of true glory. Curated by artist Bill Harris
