For as much as I love Paris Is Burning (1990) (It was foundational in my getting into ballroom history and learning more about the ballroom scene in my area when I was in my early 20s), I feel like we barely mention its spiritual sequel How Do I Look (2006) even though it gives a much better look into ballroom and how the popularity of Paris Is Burning affected the scene. It also touches on the issues participants of the og Paris Is Burning doc had with the handling of the og doc and the way the mainstream has been trying to exploit the ballroom scene since the second they found out about what it is. While Paris Is Buring is a deeply important part of our history, it should NOT be your first and last stop when learning about ballroom culture.

Alfred: Is that another child, Master Bruce?
Bruce: OKAY in my defense they were already punching criminals. I’m just making sure they’re doing it with adult supervision now! And the right equipment!
Alfred:…. Of course, Master Bruce. A grown man in a bat suit running around at night is indeed adequate supervision for children who’re already making questionable choices for their lives.
Bruce: I can’t hear you over the sound of ADOPTION PAPERS AND JUSTICE ALFRED.
