2006 SLUG Queen Slugretha Latifah Uleafa Gastropodia Jackson

Earned R-E-S-P-E-C-T in 2006

The judges respected the stellar performance of Slugretha Latifah Uleafa Gastropodia Jackson.

After pageant officials placed a lime green sash over her fire engine red, sequined gown, Jackson approached the microphone to give her acceptance speech.

“I feel good,” she sang as the crowd cheered on. “You know that I would. I feel good. So good. So good. I am queen.”

During the talent portion of the contest, Slugretha sang “Chain of Slugs” to the Franklin tune “Chain of Fools.” She was accompanied by six backup singers – the Slimettes – and two small girls who tended to the 12-foot train of her dress. When she’s not tending to her regal duties, Slugretha, whose real name is T.K. McDonald, works as the office manager at the University of Oregon philosophy department.
