Reann Ballslee, better known as George Mason University senior Ryan Allen, won the school's annual "Ms. Mason" title last Saturday during the school's halftime show during a basketball game with Northwestern's Huskies. Allen told the school paper, “Personally, it's exciting. But I feel like the win is bigger than me. It says a lot about Mason and the student body. Not only do we go to a very diverse school, but that diversity is celebrated regularly–even at the homecoming game." Allen runs the school's annual drag contest and entered as a representative from GMU's Pride Alliance. If you've ever wanted to see hundreds of basketball fans cheer on a drag queen, here's your chance.
