During the ’90s, the Ballroom Scene & ClubKids reigned supreme as a definitive force in New York City’s nightlife club culture. These dynamic queer collectives would go on to inspire the world through fashion, music, and creativity, with the two crossing paths on the dance floor of house music clubs like The Limelight, Palladium, and Tunnel.
The goal was to bring that 90’s club energy back while having legends from both scenes in the building and on the panel, including G Xtravaganza, CT Hedden, Yusef Miyake-Mugler, Divo Ebony and Christian Gorgeous-Gucci.
Categories included Face in orange with a glittery eye, Gogo vs Sex Siren, Runway with a corset and stuffed bear, Commentator vs Commentator, and Performance sponsored by Hot Sauce Fridays @ Boxers & CT Hedden. Hosted by Snookie West & #Madame007 with beats by DJ Kai The Angel.
