2015 is upon us, hunties. So lock the doors, lower the blinds, fire up the smoke machine, and put on your heels 'cuz we know exactly what you need — the Oscar-nominated, 1990 catwalk extravaganza, "Paris Is Burning!"
Plus, our first year anniversary screening wouldn't be complete without our annual Community Ball. This time THRWD — Dallas's hottest urban culture magazine — is bringing a slew of sickening musical performers that'll make the runway flames even hotter!
Dripping with opulence and shade, "Paris Is Burning" is a fun, fresh documentary that dishes dirt and serves T on New York's ballroom community — a passionate group of queer dancers, designers, and divas who LIVE to perform at late night balls; raucous affairs where attitude and appearances are simply EVERYTHING!
If you've never seen the film, children, you'll learn lots about voguing, house culture, and fierce, fashionable life on NYC's streets. And if you have seen it, come back to the party and slay it!
After the film, THRWD is helping host our opulent Community Ball with ballroom classics spun by DJs Alli and Shooknite, amped-up electro-tunes with Ethereal and the Queer Show, and pre-trophy performances by the live rap foursome, Dezi 5. blk-tee clothing line — who is also co-sponsoring after-party ball with THRWD — will have his newest pieces available for purchase during the ball as well!
We want everyone to walk in our Community Ball and TURN. IT. OUT!! Win trophies and legendary status in the following categories:
- Executive Realness
- Voguing
- Urban Edge
- Best Genderfuck
- Hottest Walk
Strut your stuff as celebrity judges drag king Buck Wylde (aka Trigger Mortis), sensational film actress Farah White, and a special third score ya and adore ya. Last year's event gave us sickening walks and winners that absolutely floored us — trust us when we say you don't wanna miss this!
Doors open at 8pm. The local young black gay/bi men's group United Black Ellument (U-BE) will be fundraising in the lobby for their monthly Vogue Night, then joining us in the main theatre for our pre-show talk at 8:30pm! The film starts at 9pm, then the Community Ball starts immediately afterwards!
CinéWilde debuted our film series with "Paris Is Burning" last January and we're thrilled to return to this queer classic as CinéWilde becomes your go-to LGBT film series in Dallas through 2015 — now watch while we turn it out, ladies! WERQUE!
