Jennie Livingston's iconic documentary offers an intimate portrait of the Harlem drag balls, where rival fashion “houses” compete for trophies and cash prizes in categories like “face,” “femme queen realness” and "voguing." Winner of a Sundance Grand Jury Prize, Paris is Burning celebrates how one group of New Yorkers, for whom racism, poverty, and homophobia are all too real, create a world of sustenance and joy.
Starring, in alphabetical order: Andre Christian, Dorian Corey, Paris Dupree, Brooke Xtravaganza, David 'The Father' Xtravaganza

The fact that all of them either died of Aids or were murdered hurts so bad

[@eatass5627]

Sounds like a bad lifestyle

[@aavalestormiconicperformer]

True. It's a fast life.

[@TheMerioz]

maybe there is a reason for that.

[@bre7931]

Did they not use condoms in the 80s?

[@lisscat]

@@TheMerioz Don't go there. Unnecessarily hateful. A reason for that?

[@WKADESIGNS]

Ryan Murphy's "Pose" has done a tremendous job of giving us a glimpse into the real lives of these innovators and icons who lived their truth out loud. It's still not easy to be queer, but we had our ancestors literally fighting to live, fighting for our community to thrive, fighting for love, acceptance, and ferocity. Creating our blueprints.

[@laminage]

These Folks would be so proud and happy to know how much Progress has been made in the past 34 Years. If he had lived, Willi Ninja would have been amazing on RuPaul's Drag Race or America's Next Top Model.

You have to understand, In those days the old time drag queens, Like miss Dorian Corey, Miss Chanel a Complete transexual, crystal la beijal, Miss lottie. They pretty much stayed day together with themselves. Unless They was doing a show at blues, or show world something like that, or they was walking the street turning tricks for money. Then there were the young upcoming children, Like Octavia saint-laurent, Miss Venus extravaganza, Miss Sandy who became Miss Apollonia /ninja/kamaliAnd those young children they tended to hang out with themselves, In those days. The stories I can tell all of you, about Phoenix kamali, Rodney ebony, Miss princess. Miss Toni Dupree I know I was there, strange all the children think that I'm dead, Obviously I'm not, I just left the life to live a Quiet life, And no I'm not junior so don't try to guess who I am, your wrote me off for dead I rather keep it that way .

[@Njoofene]

Why don't you write a book or something and preserve the history as someone who was there? It would be a shame to loose the history from those who were there.

[@itsokitsok5020]

@@Njoofene Thank you. I should now that I'm well over 50 years old. I shall make a Diary. The only question is, Shall I release it while I'm alive, Or shall I wait upon my own Demise. I'm just not sure yet ?

Rest In Paradise Willi Ninja the mother of the House Of Ninja

[@laminage]

Willi also worked with Malcolm McLaren who could have been as big as Simon Cowell if he had lived. He had so many fingers in so many Rock & Roll Pies. He did Madame Butterfly, Buffalo Gals, Deep In Vogue, A Song about Double Dutch Skipping, and he worked with Banarama when they were starting out who this year celebrate 40 Years together.

[@laminage]

Dear God this was 35 Years Ago. Where does the time go? I would have been proud to have known and met her "House." I would get her to help me with some outfits (Mix & Match), take her to Dinner at a Nice Restaurant.

[@michellecharles1162]

The world was lucky enough to have seen all of these extraordinary people the art form they created the legacy they built and left behind this needs more light to be shined on them even though they are gone!

[@waanaabe-4795]

Hi. I am really thrilled to find out about this artist! I am a dance lover, and he totally left his mark, for the best! but it's HOW I found out about him that... leaves me to ponder. The Google Doodle of the day (june 9th 2023)? it mentions nothing much and leaves the commentary closed. This is ambiguous: caters to the "flavor of the day", looking "woke" and LBGT+ positive without touching on questions, like many of you talk about, ex. @kabeyavky), of what it was like back THEN (to be queer, have aids, even be black)! So, great, look like you're "in touch with the culture" for the day, but that's how far it goes. with Thanks Google, but don't go all the way on the man nor let people talk amongst themselves. Anyhow... GOOD FOR U WILLIE NINJA! I wouldn't want to take away from his accomplishments here, just... couldn't comment on the video I learnt about him from.

[@erichampton6492]

Google disabling comments was probably for the best, given the sharp spike in anti-LGBT hate recently (anything associated with drag or trans folks in particular). And racism is ever the perennial favorite for that band of bigots as well, ofc. It wouldn't have been productive or respectful. But here we are! KZbin is a treasure trove of long-forgotten media. I doubt the haters have the energy to follow this topic down the rabbit hole in significant numbers. I hope you get the answers you're looking for. ❤

[@rachelsledge-ford2148]

Is that Jose talking?

[@coconutorange7609]

In which year was this filmed?

[@fatimayamin971]

1990

[@blugreen123]

It was released in 1990, but was filmed over a few years in the mid to late 80's.

[@unattractiveashell6904]

Azealia mentioned this is her favorite movie and heavily influenced from this I need to see

[@Kiro6666]

Why is he talking like that

[@aavalestormiconicperformer]

It's a ki ki. That voice was pure Queen. 😅😅😅

[@Kiro6666]

He should have fixed he’s teeth with all the cash he made back in the days

[@aavalestormiconicperformer]

I think he finally did. Many of them did drugs so the money was going to balls rent and drugs.
