SUMMARY:BEHIND THE MUSIC BALL
DESCRIPTION:If you ever wanted to attend a ball where they are voguing and walking runway and competing for trophies…then this is the place to be. If you’ve ever seen POSE or PARIS IS BURNING or just curious… then this is the place for you! \n\nDescription from Facebook event: \nCommentator: Icon Jack Gorgeous Gucci\nDJ: Adore Chanel\nGRAND PRIZE $2500 \nTHE ERA INVITATIONAL\nFor years\, many have debated about the performance category and which era did it the best. Tonight\, it’s time to put these theories to the test and see which era will outlast the rest? To battle for this prize\, you must have earned an “OTY” for performance (vogue fem\, realness w/a twist\, drags\, fem queen\, woman\, legendary/iconic\, new/beginners)\, in MAINSTREAM ballroom. \nBring it in a look that represents your era’s color and incorporate the year(s) and region(s) of your OTY(s). Your era represents the 1st time you walked a mainstream ball. Each era will battle within their own era. The final 2 will advance to the next round to battle the other era winners for the $2500. There will only be 1 winner for 1 trophy with no breakdowns or house affiliations. The 1st battle will be chosen randomly\, and the winner of the previous battle chooses the next battle. No back-to-back battles! \nBelow are the era colors\nBlack (1991-1997)\nBlue (1998-2004)\nGreen (2005-2010)\nYellow (2011-2015)\nOrange (2016-2021)\nPurple (2022-2025)\nPink (2026) \n\nMini Grand #1 $1250\nBQ Pretty Boy Realness – Tonight you must stand out and make a bold fashion choice that breaks away from the typical masculine color palette.
