As the quintessential saying goes:
“We’re not going to be shady, just FIERCE!"
A ball is an interactive event that embraces all kinds of
men, women and those “in-between” by encouraging them to throw
self-consciousness and self-esteem issues out the window and walk the runway
with Pride. Be it a Banjee Boy a Butch Queen in Drag or a post-op Tranny. The
ballroom means different things to different people but one thing it has done
is to bring marginalized people together under one roof. It is no secret that
for many of us this culture was one of the major shaping forces in our lives.
The mission of this ball is to share the sense of self
that can be achieved when living out your fantasies in front of your peers. We
aim serve the Children of San Francisco a little bit of Realness and a whole
lot of Love.
This mini-ball will be sweeter and lighter than the
old-school NYC balls. We will be featuring Unity and not Division within our
Community. This ball is about the Virgins, letting them serve, walk, work and
let go! There will be no chopping and no “celebrity judges”. The winners will be
chosen by audience response. If you have walked a ball in the 80’s or 90’s you
will not qualify to win any categories at this function. You will still be
encouraged to walk and SHOWCASE your style and inspire the next Generations
while giving tribute to our Deep History.
Here are a few definitions (for the Virgins):
