Number 21 on my Queer Icons Pride Project is Drag Queen Dorian Corey. Dorian Corey was an American drag performer and fashion designer. She appeared in Wigstock and was featured in Jennie Livingston's 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning. Born Frederick Legg in 1937 assigned male at birth, but realized later in life that she was a trans woman. Calling herself Dorian Corey, she began doing drag after leaving the city of Buffalo. In the 1950s, Corey worked as a window dresser at Hengerer's, then moved to New York City to study art at Parsons. Corey was the founder of the voguing House of Corey, holding over 50 grand prizes from the voguing balls. She was also "house mother" to Angie Xtravaganza, who later became a mother of her own house and was also featured in Paris Is Burning. Corey's legacy remains one of importance to the drag and ballroom communities, and her particular importance in the development of voguing as a cornerstone of New York ballroom culture is venerated and memorialized in the modern day. Corey is remembered by fans, friends and family for her simple philosophy that "...everybody wants to make an impression, some mark upon the world. ... You don't have to bend the whole world. I think it's better just to enjoy it. Pay your dues, and just enjoy it. If you shoot an arrow and it goes real high, hooray for you." Dorian Corey inspires me because of her fierceness and strength. She had an amazing talent, not only with fashion, but with words as well. I personally love her quote "Shade is I don't tell you you're ugly, but I don't have to tell you because you know you're ugly — and that's shade!" @parisisburningquotes #doriancorey #parisisburning #houseofcorey #drag #dragqueen #dragballs #lgbt #pride2022 #prideproject #loveislove #strength #queerartist #gayillustration #xtravaganza #queer #gay #transgender #lesbian #bisexual (at Turlock, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfGxU6JrHKK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Documental: Paris Is Burning (1990)

Cuando la Biblioteca del Congreso de Estados Unidos incluye tu película en la lista del Registro Nacional de Cine, eso quiere decir que has creado una obra de una importancia cultural significativa. “Paris Is Burning” es una película indispensable en la riquísima cultura LGBTQ en la que la directora Jennie Livingston expone de una manera sumamente didáctica un variopinto mundo de drags, desfiles y casas a la manera de las de Harry Potter en la que sus líderes y lideresas (los integrantes de este movimiento son personas gays, negras y latinas) aceptaban y protegían a chicos y chicas (las casas siempre eran conformadas por nacidos y nacidas como varones), abandonados y despreciados por sus familias de origen.

El documento, filmado entre 1988 y 1989, expone las luces y sombras de estos eventos, así también como la constante situación de vulnerabilidad de niños y adolescentes que, además de vivir en un entorno en el que la discriminación racial y la pobreza extrema los acompaña desde su nacimiento, deben afrontar la inesperada realidad de una orientación sexual o una disforia de género que no buscaron. Jóvenes que sólo persiguen la felicidad y la dignidad en un contexto complicado en el que, además, la sombra del VIH viene desparramándose sobre la comunidad desde los comienzos de esta década.

Casi la totalidad de esta película histórica está conformada por adultos, ¿por qué, entonces, tiene espacio en este blog? No por su legado perdurable durante más de tres décadas, sino porque expone la desprotección de la infancia y la adolescencia LGBTQ. Además, la película presenta a dos chicos que son entrevistados al ser hallados vagando solos a altísimas horas de la noche: uno, que lleva remera azul, tiene quince años y su compañero, que usa una musculosa blanca, trece. Nunca confirma demasiado, pero en este video de la usuaria Princess Armani, cuya información puede ser tomada con precaución, da algunas respuestas: la principal de ellas es que hoy están bien, al menos el niño de azul. La siguiente, que en el momento de la filmación de la película, ambos eran pareja y que éste, al día de hoy, no tiene noticias sobre el paradero de su compañero.

Qué mejor manera de celebrar el posteo N° 200 que hablando de este indudable hito.

Aquí puedes ver la película, subtitulada:

An ode to Pose

Pose was a show that can be looked at 10/15 years from now on how impactful it was. It wasn’t just a show about the lgbt, it was a show that highlighted ballroom at its peak in the 80s and the slight decline of it in 1990s. If Paris Is Burning was a tv show then it would be pose. The characters each so different yet all rememberable, after the first season you felt like family to them. What pose captured about the aids virus was how deadly the virus was at its peak. The virus that started as a unknown illness known as GRID, would claim lives of many throughout the 80s through sex, sharing needles and even blood transfusions. Pose taught love,appreciation, and it left the space for open mindedness.

The category is Gratitude.

Review Paris is Burning. 

Without any research, I started watching the movie 'Paris is burning'. I had no idea what to expect and what the film would be about, perhaps about the burning Notre Dame in Paris? It soon turned out that my speculation was anything but true. 

Paris is burning chronicles the ball culture of New York City and the African-American, Latino, gay, and transgender communities involved in it. Critics consider the film to be an invaluable documentary of the end of the "Golden Age" of New York City drag balls, and a thoughtful exploration of race, class, gender, and sexuality in America.  

While watching the movie I made some notes, about noticeable lines, people and thoughts: 

REVIEW 

Woah, i can’t believe I haven’t watched this documentary before. It was powerful, factual and it showed the hard reality we still come across. Homophobia, poverty, violence and racial issues. It was a great way to understand this community better, with seeing their world trough their eyes.  

Despite my great interest in this community and this culture, I never looked up the history of it. But this documentary gave me a great insight and better understanding in how the ball culture formed and changed itself. Living in 2020, a big part of the LGBTQ+ community can love freely and be themselves, it finally became normalized. People as Pepper, extravaganza and ninja made a huge difference and changed history forever. They don’t know how much of an impression they made on the world. 

However I found most of the film inspiring, fun and beautiful to watch, I also found it sad. I hated that the beauty of most of the humans in this movie shined from pain. A lot of the youngsters came from broken families, and only felt a happy reality at this place. Which for me is miserable. 

Something that was even more remarkable and intriguing to me was the style in which the movie was filmed. Because of the lower quality of the film, the locations and the casual conversations it seemed very personal. Which for me was a huge asset in this documentary, it increased my attention.

`In general I loved this movie, I would also love to do more research about this topic and the people within this documentary. It really opened up my eyes on the LGBTQ+ community, the houses, and how we portray it nowadays.
