History

You can tell Joan *genuinely* wanted to learn about their lifestyle and the ballroom culture.

Se tenian que devolver en el Taxi

que pena, cuando él se levanta le lanza un beso de lo mas tierno y ella no le está mirando....😞

Alucino a Carlos Berlanga compitiendo en Eurovisión... No sé si acompañado de Dinarama o de Massiel.

They needed a dental fund !! Goodness!!

Yo lo conozco de hace poco y me estan gustando mucho las canciones de el

😂😂😂😂

❤

LOVE LOVE THEM ALL!

love this

Freddie was sooo handsome

Strange question...many talk kinda strange...is it that they are wearing dentures or the quality of video?

@1:20:00 I love how open minded Octavia was being even if she didn’t truly agree with him. She is just so beautiful and down to earth ❤️

I really miss people like this in 2024

Less than 8 minutes in, and I now understand the flick more than I have these past 20 years.

i read an article that a corpse with gunshot wound in the head was found in Corey's apartment after her death! it was determined it was there for like 20 years, mummified. i can't believe that it seems like that corpse was already THERE when this video was shot.. so while she is sitting there talking about life and putting make up on, she had a corpse rotting in her house..

and such prescient and philosophical reflexion of the pretty straight man in blue telling about the eternity in being filmed at that very moment. 1:18:00

When you see the level of intelligence and street wise all of these great people have, coming from nothing, no education, still bright and cultivated, being drags or hookers, yet having all the grace and eloquence of philosophy teachers, when you see the whole movie, hearing the hard time these kids suffrered, no parents, no homes on their own really, living on tricks and small jobs, then you look at all the 2024 trash so-called "Influencers" that can't have an intelligent conversation, have zero cultural background except for fake boobs, lip fillers, nail filing, botox, cheek implants and Onlyfans revenues... When all of that went wrong?

They all look so sad. And I don’t mean that in a mean way, I just mean you can really feel the pain and sadness and exhaustion and struggles each of these beautiful unique individuals have been dealing with their entire lives. ❤

The GD confidence ❤❤❤❤❤

I love Joan more than ever for this. Rest in Peace Queen!

7:44 oh Lawd this man knows his history and can see where we’re headed 💣 🌎

My God- Joan was a classic woman *way* ahead of her time! The way she was so respectful of these guests was one of the many reasons the Gay community always had her back!

Wouldn't it be just perfect to have the unedited version of this movie with all of these awesome deleted scenes?!

It’s pretty brave of the film creator to share so candidly about the pushback and denial she got in her field because of the drags queen’s race and sexuality. I wonder how THAT affected her career later..

Was this before it Dorian Corey's secret has been found out?

So sad, jennie livingston is the only one still alive out of these 5.

Sad that all these people have since passed :( With the exception of the director Jennie Livingston

I'm a straight white cis male who served in the Marines. The chrisma of Pepper and others shown is really quite amazing. Especially considering the things they would of had to deal with just by being who they are. I'd have really enjoyed hanging out with Pepper or Dorian. Having a conversation with either of them about life in general would have been so interesting. They had such a unique, witty, and interesting perspective

I don’t think these people ever recieved the full credit they deserved, financially or otherwise, these people were true cultural masters, they paved the way truly with blood ,sweat and tears in the grueling cut throat sneer of a hateful, homophobic society, and then aids. their stories live on, and I truly have followed these people throughout the years with love and admiration and the deepest sincerity of respect for their craft. Thank God for queer culture.

Venus was so beautiful and endearing.

I'd rather have Jews the Atheists or Scientologists who express the hate for God than Those who praise God but disrespect and disappoint Alkazri Sahibil Bin Lolong.

1:10:05 that was a lot of wisdom about friendship for a 22 yr old - I didn’t learn this until my 30s. A lot of people smiling at you are consumed with envy and sticking the knife in when your back is turned. I wish people would talk about Venus legacy more than just being “the dead one”

Omg I can’t get over this scene…can anybody tell me the name of this track they vogue on?

Regia superba.

Pepper’s voice was just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Que talento tenía este artista. Una letra irónica con una base calipso pop deliciosa. Sin duda vale la pena reivindicarle y más en estos malos tiempos para la lírica.

I could have listened to Dorian Corey tell her stories all day long!

The Ultimate The Best FRUIT FLY in WooooOoooRLD❤❤❤ #RipJoanRivers 🎉

Yo feliz de que , me alegro, que bueno 🪦🪦🪦!

Dorian had a mummified body in her closet found after her death. A repeat trick gone bad?

OMG!!! I'm so happy I've found this! “Paris is Burning” is my favorite documentary of all time. I'm watching in awe, and also it's bittersweet because some of these Queens are no longer here😢 I must give Joan Rivers her kudos on her interviewing

Venus was beautiful, and bright and articulate and loving ever since I first watched this when I was young I’ve always thought of her❤

Say it again and again….”Legendary” love Miss Dorian the historian

This brought so many memories of going to the balls at The Elk Lodge in Harlem and watching all these legends back in the day. Fills my heart.

Dorian Corey being on Joan Rivers’ show while he had a corpse in his closet is peak camp

Sad what Ru Paul has done to drag these days, completely commercialising and homogenising it for mainstream audiences all for his own personal gain.

It's a shame there are no subtitles, at least for me, I find it interesting!
