Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The title of this episode is a play on Paris Is Burning, a documentary about a drag-queen pageant. Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) joins forces with the flamboyant Widow Twankey (played by "Edith Sidebottom" -- actually series regular Michael Hurst in drag!) to help their friend Althea (Willa O'Neill) stage a fashion show. The villains of the piece are Althea's former boss, Ocea (Jay Saussey), the influential Count von Verminhaven, and "The Fashion Police," who go around arresting people for such horrendous crimes as wearing leather in summertime.
