The movie chose to analyze was Paris is Burning this documentary showed the
culture of drag queens living in New York City in the 1980s the film went behind
the makeup, hair, and outfits in the stereotypical drag queen. They showed us
their community and support they give each other through the tough times of no
one understanding them. They focused on voguing, balls, and their
dream to be legendary. In world of high fashion the dream to be accepted, and
their status in the community. The love they have for one another is what keeps
their drive going. During this time in a drag community
they didn't have much appreciation. From a low-class community the love
that they have for one another is what keeps their drive going. During this time
the drag community didn't have much acceptance from outside of their house they had to
push one another to keep their dream for them. The house is where they all live
due to most of them not having support or money to go anywhere else. The mother
of the houses who keeps the house going.
Our mother even nurses us! She's a good woman. She nourishes us.
My mommy is a drag queen look I sayyyyy.
Xtravaganza, for Mother of the year! keeping her children intact, can we have Angie Xtravaganza? Work for us girl, work that runway. This is from Andre Christian, girl.
My birthday will come and I always get a gift from Angie. Won't get one from my real mother.
when I got thrown out of my house Angie let me stay with her until I got myself together and I got working.
She could be a pain in the ass sometimes but I wouldn't trade her for any other
mother
We have to have something to offer in order to lead. Mothers usually becomes the mother because she's usually the best one out of the group.
I'm Willi Ninja, mother of The House of Ninja
I'm the mother of the House of Ninja because
they say I'm best voguer out. To be the mother of the house you have to have the most power... She helps them with makeup, costume, hair, and overall love. She
understands what they all go through. They saved money for balls. Balls are
competitions that show off their individuality throughout the drag queen
culture. The girls usually make costumes due to financial struggles and struck
them out in a competition. They use the type of dance
voguing, voguing is strutting poses as if they were on a catwalk. The drag queen
community lets them express their abuse of being transgender, a minority group,
and being gay. We talked about social dance and it generally intended for
participation and you do see a lot of people pushing each other to try to vogue or
try to walk into the ball so and then it was a lot of building of the self,
interpersonal skills and intrapersonal skills so you could see in people
wanting to be businessmen so they were dressed the part.
Now the fact that you are not an executive is merely because of the social standing of life.
That is just the pure thing. Black people have a hard time getting anywhere.
And those that do are usually straight.
In a ballroom, you can be anything you want. You're not really an executive, but you're looking like an executive. And therefor you're showing the straight
world that I can be an executive. If I had the opportunity, I could be one, because I can look like one.
and that is like a fulfillment. Your peers, your friends are telling you, oh you'd make a wonderful executive.
And gave you the sense that if you can do it there and in that ball gave them confidence to be that way in the
regular world. It's a place that allowed for the lbgtq community all get together
to express themselves without judgement and feel free to be who they wanted to be
The confidence it made them feel like they were a part of something bigger you
have to look into the bigger scope of things in the time that this was filmed
so this was filmed in 1987 in New York City so at that time there it wasn't as
free and liberal as we see it nowadays back then black minorities were shunned
and weren't able to express themselves especially being in the lbgtq community.
Ball and voguing and dance and form of expression allowed them to be accepted
where otherwise they weren't. One part of the movie they talked about shading and
how when you are shading someone of a different culture from you basically if
you're not gay if you're not transgender then it's not technically called shading
it's basically slurring their culture but if you are shading someone of the
same gay culture or transgender culture then you would have to watch out for
skin tones, sexual orientation, gender rights, all that kind of stuff. A main
pattern in the entire movie is that Queens were struggling for money to be
able to get nice clothes or just to be able to get nice makeup or have a nice
place to live even they were going out
together like that
What's their profession?
Usually showgirls--usually they're you know showgirls
Well, it depends. It depends.I don't know a lot of their professions, but showgirls usually. The thing that helped me make my most money
Through the escort service is being that I'm so little. I'm so petite and tiny.
Um, the blonde hair and light skin and the green eyes and the little features.
And that client's hands will be bigger than my hands while they would hold my hand or something.
You know, they like feeling they're with something perfect and little, and not someone that's bigger than them, because that I guess that kind of disturbs them.
I guess the better word would be prostituting themselves or even going out just on dates with men
who would give them money to buy them dresses or shoes for them to wear on
their next dates. Since the mid 1900s drag queens and lgbtq+
activists have been fighting for equal rights even after giant steps have been
made to progress the acceptance of their culture. Dance in any society is a
reflection from where they came from during candid interviews they would talk
about the struggle they go through being in different classes, being different
races, and their gender orientation.
