In West Hollywood, a city known by many in the Greater Los Angeles gay community as the “Queen City,” the annual question is who will be crowned Queen of the West Hollywood Carnaval?

The answer, announced this afternoon by City Hall, is Jake DuPree, aka “Glitter Fantasy.”

“As Glitter Fantasy, DuPree spreads sparkle, light, love, and acceptance with his unicorn food reviews and unicorn makeovers,” says the city’s announcement. “His mission is to ‘Make America Fabulous Again’ by dancing, prancing, and sparkling. “

DePree also is Cosmopolitan.com’s first-ever “unicorn correspondent.”

Staged over a one-mile stretch of Santa Monica Boulevard/Historic Route 66, from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., the this 30th annual Carnaval will feature several areas with live DJs who will entertain wildly dressed crowds for a one-of-a-kind experience.

The city invites Carnaval-goers to get into the spirit and show-off costumes by uploading photos to social media sites with the hashtag #wehohalloween.
