Muwah ha ha! I was inspired, a few years ago, by a woman at my former office who also did the drama queen, replete with 50s, tulle formal and non-waterproof mascara streaks down the face. Don't forget to muss the otherwise-formal hair like you've been in a wrestling match or, erm, something. ;) She won the company, costume contest, too!
I sold a couple of handfuls of Drama Queen banners on eBay. I should have thought about it for this Halloween. Here's the very-inexpensive-and-easy-to-make banner...

If there are any craft stores near you, you're looking at under $5 for floral ribbon and self-adhesive letters. They tend to carry inexpensive tiaras, too.
Because I SO AM evil in thought, word, and deed--muwah ha ha--here's my promo, to set the mood...
For the enchanting vortex of everyone else’s energy. . . Do you have one who constantly invites herself when she’s unwelcome, eats countless hours of your time repeating her endless tales of woe, or attempts to manipulate you through your friends, family, or business associates--only to burst into the seemingly-uncontrollable well of tears accompanied by sobs of, 'You’re just trying to hurt me; you’ve ruined my whole life; I don’t know why you hate me so much; I guess I’m not even your (insert appropriate title here--mother, girlfriend, sister, grandmother, friend, wife)!' when confronted rationally? Of course, you can't forget that your gall in asking her to desist comes 'after all she’s done for you/sacrificed for you/devoted to you.'
Do you find yourself continually derailed by this mistress of emotional blackmail? Do you feel trapped, guilty, and angry? Maybe even hunted? Are you ready to throw a ringer on it? By all means, do present your drama queen with this shimmering-glitter banner. She has earned it. No need to bother with the actual competition or those pesky judges.
It is sure to alter the course of the otherwise 'normal' conversation, useless business meeting, painful family dinner, or bad breakup scene. I am NOT a therapist and I highly recommend you bestow this award upon anyone so deserving--not for the recognition it will supposedly 'make' her feel, but for the joy--pure joy--you will have in the giving.
For yourself, wear it with your favorite cocktail or ball gown, your shiniest shoes, and way too much makeup. Lightly douse your non-waterproof mascara with eye drops and--voila--you have the true-to-life, tracks-of-your-tears effect.
:D
