I have mentioned many times how obsessed I am with Paris Is Burning - and the vogueing ballroom community the movie showcased. And one of the most important vogue "houses" from Paris is Burning was the House of Xtravaganza.
Many of the old houses featured in the documentary have died out (like so many members of the ballroom community) - but the Xtravaganza's remain strong. In fact, they held their first ball in five years this month at NYC's Irving Plaza nightclub: Moda - La Envidia Xtravaganza Ball.
Please check out these fantastic pictures taken at the ball from BackstageAt.com (HERE and HERE) ... and then watch this video which is narrated by the hysterical Mike Diamond.
And in case you're thinking that only kids from Harlem, Brooklyn and the Bronx go to these balls, look at who was in attendance - watching the legendary children doing their thing ...
That's right biatches ... THE DUCHESS, Michael Kors!
