Auckland has a new Queen, while Wellington and Christchurch are roaring towards the end of the year with new Mr Bear title-holders. Last night Yaya took out Princess to Queen at Ponsonby Rd's Poof Bar, with Cherry Poppins finishing in second place and Elektra Shock third. Yaya has sent her love to all the competitors and thanked all those who supported the competition. "I am proud to be your newly Queened Princess of the scene," Yaya says. Part of the prize package are spots in the Auckland Pride Parade as well as the Big Gay Out. In Wellington, former Mr Gay Wellington Sam McLeod now has the second title of Mr Capital Bear: The musical theatre performer has won flights and accommodation to the Bear New Zealand Festival Week in February 2014 where he will compete in Mr Urge NZ Bear 2014. Another contender for that title in Auckland next year will be the new Mr Bear Christchurch Mark McLennan:
