Paris is Burning Indeed


Diddy and Cassie spent the past week in Paris and Diddy has been chronicling their trip on Twitter using the hashtag #ParisIsBurning.

Maybe someone should have told Diddy that Paris is Burning is the name of a very famous documentary about Black and Latino drag queens in New York...

Octavia Saint Laurent(RIP) would find this insulting,especially since he didn't give props to the movie....Octavia wanted to be a star. She died only a few years ago, 2006 maybe...She had butt /hip, silicone injections,thats what may have killed her, cause eventually illegal silicone injections,done at a silicone injection party at someones house,settles and moves down your leg,then you die.You die, cause the silicone becomes mixed and knotted ,hardened,in your veins and flesh,so it can't be removed....I hope Lola and Nicki Menage had implants/injections from a real DR...

All the drag Queen balls on youtube...look into the audience...guess what you will see....Mostly,ALL STRAIT MEN...MEN ON THE DOWN LOW! I wondered who are all these men...they don't look gay!They like to look at the TS(trans gendered) girls...they are looking for for someone to rub their prostate gland with their dic's....a woman can never please a man like a man could...

Anonymous said...

All these black men are in the audience at these drag queen ball's.....are,





your husbands,boyfriends,dad's,brothers....A woman once told me she went to a hip hop club in NYC and she went in all the men gave her the sideyeye,she felt she had to leave immediately..it was a "down low" club....all black men...Now I know Atlanta is filled with gay black men...cause most of these drag balls are in NYC or Atlanta...there are drag balls all over the world,but majority seems to be in these two states....White men are down low to...they do it more privately...

Sean knows what he is doing. The old stunt queen is well aware of the fact the "Paris is Burning" is a direct reference to a tranny movie.

Shyne is in town, Kanye is in town, Cassie is riding his coat tails... They just need jay-Z to complete ti circle. The butt buddies are doing it for themselves! And, Cassie is holding hte camera.

Although I doubt Diddy knows this but "Paris is burning" is a phrase that was written in a 1871 newspaper about the bombing of Paris by Prussia. Also, Hitler was suppose to have said or asked, "is Paris burning?"

The title of the documentary about gay balls in NYC was a takeoff of these statements. Jennie Livingston knew her history and applied an apt historical phrase to her movie.

I doubt the Parisians appreciate it very much.

It was so sad in the documentary "Paris Is Burning" Octavia Saint Laurent,dreamed of being like the white models of the 80's...she spoke of these white models like they were all that she lived for,eyes all wide and bright, like a little girl,on Christmas morning...She lived a life of fame in the Ball room scene,never to achieve "real" fame...she aged,flawlessly,gained booty injections,not fame, then died....

A Quote from a review...
**I've watched this movie four times since it was released in 1991, because it says so many things: it's a commentary about materialism in our culture, about gender roles, about rich and poor people, about the media and what it celebrates, about fame and adulation. "Paris is Burning" is one of the most humane, and one of the saddest, movies I've ever seen.

The footage of the "balls" these gay drag queens hold is fantastic. A ball is easily explained--the minority drag queens gather in a social hall and essentially take turns walking down the middle of the social hall as if they were rich and famous models walking down the runway. They get to be and feel the way they REALLY feel inside; and their peers cheer them on as they walk the walk. They get ratings by judges and prizes are often awarded. Of course, things get more complicated; not everybody is in love with everybody else. We learn how these gay men including the drag queens take each other on with wisecracks about their appearances; and the footage of them voguing shows us great dancing as well as a competition to determine who's the better man.

There's also the concept of "houses;" these are the gay male/drag queen equivalent of street gangs. There is a leader of the house (or, group) called the "mother;" and the house has its rules as to how someone can become a member--perhaps, for example, they have to walk down that runway at a ball and snag a prize to become a house member. We also learn what it means to "mop;" and the footage with Dorian Corey reminiscing about the way things used to be when he was younger is fascinating.

apparently, the film took almost ten years to make due to financing problems...i wouldn't have known. but, i was impressed with the artistry that the men and women featured showed and expressed themselves. also, what is interesting about the commentary track is learning about what has become of some of the people in the film...sadly, most of them had their fame only in the ballroom and only in this film.

"Paris is Burning" is a fascinating 1990 documentary depicting the fabulous underside of gritty '80s NYC. The Big Apple was still rough around the edges. At the time, Times Square was seamy. In "Paris is Burning",the down-and-out (of the closet) have made a paradise of their own in the clubs.

"Paris is Burning" chronicles the lives of African-American and Latino gays, and defines their terms like "shade","reading" and of course,"voguing",the dance style they perfected. Their balls (usually held at the Elks Lodge in Harlem) weren't the usual drag balls. Some impersonate army officers; others impersonate executives. They mimic what they see as "straight white America." There are breakdancers. Some,like Octavia St. Laurent and Venus Xtravaganza, are famous for embodying femininity

The original should Sue the shit out of him and double tax them on their money to get paid. They do it to others, so let others do unto them.

The phrase "Paris is burning" refers to events of World War II between France and Germany. Know history.

I agree with the poster who stated that he knew what he was doing. He's from NYC and that was a direct reference to the documentary.

"Paris is Burning" has two separate meanings. During WWII Hitler asked his chief of staff Alfred Jodl "Is Paris Burning" because he ordered the city to be destroyed rather than allow the allies to take it over unharmed. Luckily, the general who received the orders disobeyed Hitler and Paris was not burning.
In Jennie Livingston's film there is a drag queen whose drag name is Paris Dupree. Paris holds an annual ball cleverly titled ... "Paris is Burning" .....knowing that Paris is the fashion capital of the world he used the phrase to title his ball as if to say Paris will burn with envy after they see what happens at his ball. Jennie Livingston just titled the movie after Paris and his ball. Madonna used the voqueing style from these very balls to aid her career... why would it be so absurd to think Diddy would do the same.. he knows who the trend setters are.
