Gabriel Rotello's otherwise

out account of his position on
outing is off blJse on' one very
important issue.
In listing what he believes
,
are reasonatHe exceptions to
"outing"/"equalifing," Mr;
Rotello notes that he does not
believe "in outing politicians or
others to force them to toe the
line on lesbian and gay issues"
and that threatening to out
closet-case public officials
who oppose AIDS funding is
"u§iilghomosexuality as a
form of blackmail."

made between "toeing the line

their proposed march route, eliminating

already made his statement" by not issu-

haS also not responded to the LGPFC's

community together fo,rthe first time--flot
all·lesbians and gays live in New Yolk City
or Fire Island," rallied David Kilmnick, one
of the parade's CO-Organizers. "We want to
bring attention to the violence and gay-
bashing that goes on in Long Island"
The towns of Northport and Port

NEW YORK-World-renowned HIV re,searcher Dr. Luc Montaigner, co-dis-
coverer of th~ human immunodeficiency virus, and Dr. Shyh-Ching LO, who theo-
rizes that a mycoplasma may be the catalyst for development of symptomatic HIV
infection, met in a public forum on May 16 to present evidence that HIV does not
act alone in causing progression to AIDS. , .,' :
"I will not question the fact that [AIDS] is caused by an infectious agent'
called HIV," Montaigner told. the packed auditorium. "But what I am going to dis-
cuss is what are the complicated mechanisms that bring this virus to ...profoundly
depress the immune system." ; ,
The two researchers, who are pictured here, departed from the gospel of most
AIDS-r~lated science, asserting that further investigation into HIV co-factors must
be done and that treatments based on that research should be fully explored.

subµrban Atlanta district with strong
gay and lesbian support. His pledging
to co-sponsor the measure comes
immediately after a recent appearance
at an HRCF dinner in Atlanta and
fierce lobbying from his lesbian and
gay constituency there.
Democratic Rep. Esteban Torres of
California, the deputy majority whip of
the House, formally signed on to the
latest version of the bill on AprU 19.
Totres, a liberal Democrat from South
California's West Covina-based 34th
District, had co-sponsored an identical
measure previously but did not formal-
ly back the measure in the 1989-90

PENTAGONTO
GAYS: STAY HOME
WASHINGTON-The Pentagon on
May 8 issued an official response to a
congressional letter calling for the rever-
sal of the Department of Defense's poli-
cy of excluding gays and'lesbians from
military service, saying that it has no

plans to reassess the policy and insist-
ing that homosexuality is not a "neutral
characteristic" such as skin color.
"It has long been Department of
Defense policy that homosexuality is
incompatible with military service,"
wrote Capt. T.D. Keating, Pentagon
director of legal policy. "There are
numerous reasons for this policy,
including the necessity to maintain
good order, morale and discipline; fos-
ter mutual trust and confidence among
Service members; recruit and retain
members of the military services; and
maintain the public acceptability of
military service."
Keating aqded that the Pentagon
"do[es] not plan to reassess" its policy
on gay and lesbian service personnel.
The official Pentagon response
marks one of the rare occasions in
which any DOD official has ever made
a public attempt outside of a court-
room defense of its policy-to defend
its anti-gay position. Historically, mili-
tary officials have declined all media
.requests for comment or interviews on
•
the gay military issue, beyond restating
. all people of good will."

its long-standing policy.
In the letter .to Democratic Rep.
Gerry Studds of Massachusetts, who is
gay, Keating argued that there is a
"fundamental difference" between the
anti-gay policy and the Pentagon's
now-discarded stance against a racially
segregated military.
"Racial discrimination is unlawful
because it is based upon the color of
their skin," he wrote. "Societal atti-
tudes about homosexuals, however,
derive from conduct that defines the
class, not from a neutral characteristic
such as skin color."
The Pentagon official wrote the
May 8 letter in response to an earlier
dispatch from Rep. Studcls and 39 of
his House colleagues, who had written
the White House to demand' an end to
the DOD policy which has been used
to separate gay men and lesbians from
the military. '
Studds answered the Pentagon's
letter with a blistering statement of his
own, which called Keating's response
"insulting to gays and lesbians, to
Blacks and to other minorities and to
"The Pentagon is essentially saying
that it has the obligation to mirror (he
worst of society's prejudices," Studcls
said in a prepared statement. "'fhat is
ignorant, and that is wrong."

POll ON
AIDS: MORE
COMPASSION,

NEW YORK-If public opinion is
any detennination of future public poli-
cy, then people with AIDS can expect
increased cOmpassion and tolerance but
should beware of widespread testing of
doctors, dentists, immigrants and US citi-
zens, according to a poll released by the
Gallup Organization.

conducted May 2-5 nationwide, reveals
drastic changes in popular opinion since

amille Klass and her part-
ner advertise themselves
as "Camille and Kelly:
Two Cute, Sincere, Bi Girl-
friendS Who Love to Talk
Dirty to Horny Guys. "
To maintain anonymity and to
keep her work and private life separate,
she uses a false name, Faye, and an
alter ego. A cute, boyish waif, little
more than five feet tall, she tells the guys
that she's a voluptuous five-foot-seven-
inch redhead. The men don't kQow that
she's a lesbian: This knowl-
edge, she imagines, might
make them uneasy.
Besi.des, she doesn't want
to give away any secrets. .
"The number-one fan-
tasy for men is watching . size. She also loved to act. New in

* boyfriend! That usually
~ takes care of their curiosity."
Much younger-looking
than age 30, Camille has a
short, punky haircut and hair dyed
black. When I meet her, she is wearing a
white leather vest, cut off at the sleeves.
Found furniture and art, parts of man-
nequinS, dime-store kitsch and photos of
her friends and cats fill her sunny San
Francisco apartment. 1bree huge boxes
stuffed to the brim with file cards domi-
nate the cluttered table where she eats
her meals, Each card lists a man's name,.
address, phone number and various
short descriptive phrases.
, There's the guy who lusts after Bar-
bara Walters, several who like to dress
up in women's lingerie and dozens who
want to be tied up and humiliated. Most
of the clients are regulars who have been
calling for several years, once, twice,
three times a week. When repeat cus-
tomers call, she quickly glances at the
card if she can't recall them by name.
At a time when most phone, sex
consists of little more than canned mes-
sages, Camille weaves elaborate erotic
fantasies which are personalized to each
client's sexual tastes. She's able to "get
them off' in an average of three minutes
flat, 'she boasts. If there's still time ~fore . about five calls a day, at $20 a pop, and

In an industry which draws much,
,
of its labor from mothers who cannot .
support their .families, Camille is one of
the privileged. She acknowledges that
she has it easier than most sex workers,
who tend to be in close proximitY to .
their clients and are, therefore, in
greater danger of violence and sexually
transmitted diseaseS.
Phone sex pays a lot better and .

offers considerably more autonomy,

cent-lit downtown office. She gets '

she wanted to work harder, she'd rather
pajot, swim at the local pool or volun-
teer at an AIDS agency.
After first'falling into it by chance,
Camille has been in "the biz," as she
calls it, for more than seven years. She
had been working as a hairdresser and
friend, Kelly, arrived in San Francisco
from New Mexico in 1981. Kelly was an
ovelWeight teenager who, after losing
100 pounds, yearned for the sexual
contact long denied her ·because of her,

fantasies, but she worked at nearly min~
imum wage. After several months, she
decided to parlay her knowledge'of the
work into her own business together ,
.with Camille.
•
Kelly and Camille put ads in several
calls. By 1983,they had begun working
out of their airy flat in San Francisco's
Marina District, It was 1~3, At flISt, they
were reticent about divulging more than
a few scattered anecdotes about their
work, even to close friends.
"We were very protective of our
business and didn't trust anybody. I
didn't like to talk to anyone about it,"
says Camille. She recalls that people
,
"un. 5... _.. OUTWEEK 33
 were very judgmental, especially within
the women's community. "It was seen
as politically incorrect,' really the worst
thing you could do. Most people
assumed that phone sex was about
nothing more than circulating damaging
stereotypes of women. I had good
friends who were completely unable to
accept it. They liked me in every other
way, but they could not accept my
work at all." She and Kelly kept to
themselves. She tells a story abOut how,
, when she went to a bank to open a
credit<ard account, she disguised her-
self by wearing a big wig, "I was very
scared," she says, For three years, they
worked quietly out of their apartment in
San Francisco's Marina District.
Then they began to meet other sex
workers--strippers, prostitutes and
phone-sex operators--rnany of them
lesbians. For years now, at some of San
Francisco's largest adult entertainment
complexes, one third to one half of the
dancers are lesbians. The jobs are often
acquired through word of mouth: One
woman gets a job as a stripper, and two
or three friends follow her in short suc-
cession. But dykes have long worked as
whores of various stripes. .
Joan Nestle has written of the "his-
torical sisterhood" that connects lesbians
and prostitutes. Existing outside the pale'
of domestic arrangements and viewed
as the other, as unnatural women,
"whores, like queers, are society's dirty
joke"-they symbolize "lost woman-
hood." They share a common stigma Jor
their sexuality. While prostitutes and les-
bians have a shared history of struggle
with the law, medicine and religion, les~
bian prostitutes, she says, have "suffered
the totality of their two histories." '
For the ~ two ,decades, the "his-
torical sisterhood" was swept under the
rug, as feminist aitiques popularized
the. notion that women's complicity in
sex work was the result of coercion or,
at the very least, false consciousness.
Sex work appeared as the naked
.t of the power dynamics
which lay beneath all heterosexUal rela,;",
tionships and syrnbolizec,l the fear which
stalked women through the ordinary rou-
tines Qf daily life, from their Interactions
with strangers on darkly lit streets to their
relationships with men at work and, all
too often, at horne, It transformed
women's bodies into commodities, the
crassest form of objectification possible.

Qunille herself was, for a long time,
ambivalent about the work swayed by
these criticisms. In some respects, phone
sex seemed to her even more insidious
than more conventional fonns of sex
work, like stripping or prostitution, pre-
cisely because it operated solely in the
realm of fantasy, she says.
"I felt like the scum of the sex busi-
ness, that 1 didn't have enough guts to
do it in person. Instead I used all these
images of women, of faceless, anony-
mous women, and who
knows what I was creating
there. Images are a very
powerful thing, and, if you
use them wrong;.they can
wreak havoc. It means a lot
to·,
me to be responsible for
my actions."

, She has done three
calls in me last hour and a
. half. The first was with Bob,
the closet drag queen. The
second was with Henry,
who wanted to suck cock.

Camille won't take part in fantasies
which she believes are degrading to
women, which put forth the notion that
women are objects and that "all they
want to do is walk down the street and
g~t fucked." Nor will she do .fantasies of

Larry, for example, is a client who
likes to put padding in his pants to look

Camille the following letter:

"'une~. 1991 OU.LVEEK 39

 •
• on Pico Street. On the feminist tip, the
newest coffeehouse is Les Beans, (on
Venice Boulevard in West LA), a femi-
nist-veggie'space with changing exhibits
and regular readings.
If the other two are not enough, LA
has a new crop of coffeehouses everY
week. The best. place
- ,..,
to sit in big chairs,.
play Yahtzee, read and inhale sec-
I ondary smoke is the Abbey on Robert-
son Street in West Hollywood. This all-
day and late-night space is the perfect
after,bar place. The grandfather of LA
coffeehouses is the Onyx; it's latest
incama,tions the Onyx Sequel and the
Onyx Annex (Vermont Boulevard ,
just
\'; down from Chatterton's Bookstore, near
the Dresden Eoom)-are' informal
places. Also worth noting are Lizards
and Buzz, a new-agey place that ,
has
outdoor concerts on weekends.
Eating is easy. in .LA. Caffe Latte
(Wilshire and 'Crescent Heights) can't
decide if it's a restaurant or a coffee-
house, but this non-gay place does both
incredibly well. It imports its own teas,
and roast coffee daily, ap,d it has great
food. Also worth trying is the Authentic
'Cafe~great California cuisine. Thai
food is a: particular obsession in this
food~obsessed city, and the· queen of
Thai restaurants is the unassuming Sun-
shine (Western Avenue between Santa'
Monica and Melrose), which doubles as
a Thai cultural centet with lots of Thai
fatnilies and' queers eating Bangkok-
style street food. For simple Mexican
food, try TaCO'STacos (Robertson and
Santa Monica boulevards), but avoid the
gym-fag' poseurs at Marix and La Fabu-
la, If you must spend a lot of money for
Mexican food, try the Border Grill,
which is worth every penny.

FLASHI I interrupt this regularly

scheduled column to bring you this spe-
cial news bulletin: As I write this, Live at
Rue (which is on in the ,background)
. is
revealing the Ro/ltng Stone photos of
MadoI,ma. As Tony Guida reports, one
photo has Madonna wearing a star of
David and in another she, is drinking
from a glass she's holding with her foot!
"There is one other photo that we <!idn't
show you," says Guida, "It depicts
Madonna with all of her male . dancers.

ing power of love, and I felt no obliga-

basic approach was that it was some

said to Vanessa and all the actors, ,
''We're not' interested in motivation or
psychology-we're interested in 'things
happening.'" I saw it as a resonant
story, not . just a soap opera, These -
people are archetypes.
KS: How was working with
.Vanessa Redgrave?
, SC: She's ablaze at all times. She
sometimes goes on wild-goose chases,
and you have to hold on to her a bit,
but the point is, she's just full of ideas
and impulses and extraordinary
instincts. Vanessa is utterly committed
to what she, believes in-that's what
makes her such a great 'actor, that's
what makes her extremely controver-
sial. On the whole, people would pre-
fer actors didn't have opinions at all,
unless it's Bob Hope'~aying, "We love
our boys at the front." There's always
a subtext with Vanessa" which is,
"Who does she think she is?"
KS: In the gay community, howev-
er, we're always looking to celebrities
to speak out for us. You recently were
one of 18 openly gay British actors and
directors to sign their names to a letter
to the editor defending Ian McKellan's
knighthood. Was that your most public
comi!1g out to date?
SC: Oh, no, not at all. In my
autobiography, Being An Actor [writ-
ten in 1985], I was completely open
about it._I was john the Baptist to Ian
McKellan's jesus. I suppose at that
time I was ,the only well-kqown actor
who openly avowed his homosexuali-
ty-not, initially, politically, but just '
for my own personal satisfaction.' I
don't know why I should go around

ter actor, not a romantic actor" like Ian
was, There's this sort of preposterous
idea: "How can I believe in you as
Romeo, Ian McKellan; if I know you're
gay?" I was never playing Romeo. Peo-,
pie who are highly sexualized in their
,persona-if it is known they're
gay-become threatening. I suppose
I've never been threatening in that way.
KS: Do you think there was any
validity to Derek
,
jarman's criticizing
Ian McKellan's knighthood because it
came from the homophobic govern-
ment that legislated Clause 28?
SC: Ian's knighthood has absolute-
ly afflI'med that you Can be completely,
totally, unambiguously and unequivo-
cally gay and yet still be honored by
the society inwh!j:h you live. That
seems to me to ,be absolutely right. It
can only be an affmnation. Ian is right
in the middle of things he reckons
that to be an ideal point from which to
/ say, "I'm gay, and lots of other actors
are gay, and we contribute something,·
In no sense could it tX: said that Ian
McKellan's knighthood set back the
cause of gay liberation. It's a preposter-
ous piece of Alice in Wonderland logic
to say that it does.
KS: What are yout feelings about

SC: I quite strongly disapprove of
that, although I understand the politics
of it, and I really don't believe in clos-
et anything.The only source of free-
dom is honesty. But it's very compli-
cated for people' I don't ,think any of
us has the right to demand action. It's
so complicated. People have torment-
ed sexuality or confused sexuality or
90ubting sexuality..-it's a very harsh
thing to rip somebody out of all their
private concerns and dilemmas and
. force them to acknowledge their sexu-
ality. It could wreck their lives, and,
certainly in Los Angeles, it could ruin
their careers.

question about it. But do I give gay
performances? I don't know-it's hard
to say, I wouldn't give the perfor-
mances I give without being who I
am. I did the English 'stage premiere
of Kiss of the SPider Woman. I gave a
rather c;lifferent performance than Mr.
Hurt did [in the film version!. I
couldn't, possibly have given that per-
formance if I weren't gay. The core of
the part, which is about his need to
be taken, totally possessed, by a man,.
to admit him totally into his body and
his life; I understand that perfectly
well and was able to draw on that. I
hllve played many straight men, and I
hope,. as ,a professional and as an
artist, that I have, persuaded everyone
that I was straight.
KS: Some of your earliest theater
wor~ was in the Gay Sweatshop;
SC: Yes, and it was very exciting.
The first play I did there was called
Passing By by Martin Sherman, who
wrote Bent. It's a very straightforward
love story between two guys. They
each catch hepatitis, they convalesce
together, and then they' part. It's ~
charming play, simple and sweet and
true, but nothing earthshaking about it.
We played that for what was basically
a ,theater full of gay men who had
never seen on the stage the actual
human experience of one' man coming
to know and love another man. People
were just devastated-they just wept
for the recognition of it. lbat was won-
derful, and it still is far too rare.
KS: Will you direct other films,
perhaps one which is explicitly gay
in content?
SC: My great desire-and this
may be the next film I do, for Chan-
'nel 4-is to write a really torrid
romantic film about gay love. A
huge, passionate, no-holds-barred
gay love story, nothing to do with
the problems of being gay. I want to
write a gay Antony and Cleopatra,

,about Sally's with its careful simulations

otic relationship to the straight world.
The same can be said of the world
of Paris Is Burning, a much-discussed
documentary showing at Film Forum.
It's about the culture of the Harlem drag
Balls and the gay Houses of fashion and
voguing, where femme queens, butch
queens ;µtd other variants on. these cate-
g<;>riescompete for "realness." In these
fashion competitions, mostly gay, mostly

Tonight 'at Sally's, two of Paris Is
Burnings, stars are present:· Dorian
Corey, Legendary Mother of the House
of Corey; who is also mistress of cere-
monies at Sally's, and Paris DuPree, leg-
endary Mother of the House of Paris,
whOse "Paris IS Burning" Balls provided
the uncredited title for the flim.
Other people at Sally's tonight have
heard of the film and know some of the
people in it, but many Jni-- .
tially found it off-limits,
despite the fact that it had
a quarter-page ad in the
Voice and had already'

semi-drag-queen acquaintance of mine
whom I regularly meet at Sally's as well
Avenue, "But how do you get to see it?"
"The film is slowly becoming. acces-
sible by word of mouth," the very wise
and very articulate Dorian Corey later
explains to me. "But not all the Hoµse
children read newspapers. And, weIl, the
Film Forum isn't exactly on their list."
These comments augment the
queasiness I felt watching' the movie-e-
hearing the giggles. of Film Forum's
mostly whit~, downtown audience
become more and more strained as the
film deftly drew the.m into the unfamiliar
culture of the Balls. The self-conscious-
ness of the audience that nigl}t brought
to mind for me all the contradictions
inherent in making art about a commu-

nity to which you do not belong-art
that will be exhibited to an audience
composed primarily of members of a
community to which you do belong. -
, For ,multiple reasons, the piece of

remained monolithic and undecipherable

"pathetic" homosexuals who "couldn't
even speak English" nor Quentin
Crisp calling the film "a startling mix-
ture of the bizarre and the heart-
breaking" in the New York Native nor
the director-producer Jennie Liv-
ingston defending the wholesome
aspects of the gay Hous~ as "old-
fashioned family values like kindness
and tolerarice and loving your mother,
even if your mother is a drng queen"
nor anyone else seems to have the
stomach for a head.,on appraisal of
the drag Ball world. One reason is
that Paris Is Burning involves the
vieWer simultaneously in two codes of
:values: There is the fantasy code,
known, ironically, as "realness," in
which Ball partidµmts .ape the main~
stream values, of the media and the
middle class. And then there is the
actual day-to-day code, or value sys-
tem, of the moStly low-income, mostly
Black or Latino ball partidpants ..
Those who have written or spo-
ken about the film have felt more
comfortable discussing the vonies
positive or negative of the first
. code, in which people without enti-
tlement momentariIy take on the sta-
tus ("realness'') of mainstream peo-
ple implicating a tacit respect for
mainstream values. But all have
largely overlooked, or systematically
. ignored, th~ second code because it
is the code of the street.
It is true that for middle-class
•
viewers, the street codes operating 'in
the Houses and at the BaIls are hid-
den under seemingly'innocu.ous
terms. When Livingston cited Ball
slang such as "House" and "Mother"
as proof of the "warmer, more nur- .
turing side of the drag Balls" in a let-
ter to The New York Times, she over-
looked. that, although "House" is a
home-a place of shelter and
belonging for all .on the street and
in prjson, "to house" means to take
control of something, to forcefully
. take it over (e.g., "the con housed
my new- Adidas"). Accordingly, the
word "Mother" holds all the connota-
tions of nurturing and warmth one
would expect, but, as evidenced by
remarks in PariS Is Burning, a Moth-
er is also the most powerful member
of a House, a benevolent tyrant who
, has been able to- vanquish all rivals.

No similar criticism can be made
about the cast which, despite what one

Ashley' Gardner is ,faced. with .a most
difficult acting task. Curran gives her

ly specific 9r delineated enough to
help the actress particularize her vari-

.:J ,_~
es that Mark Ramont's staging (aided
,
by Tom Kamm's ir)genious set of slid-
ing panels and gliding furniture) was
less clever and self-conscious-two
rather dubious qualities it shares with"
,
much of the writing. The distance that,
results between the audience and the
characters has less to do with Brechtian
alienation effects than with the writer
and 'director's desire to celebrate tech-
. ,
nique for its own sake. This distance
damages the acting, as well. When a
scene suddenly demands deep, difficult
feeling (for example, when Dottie
appears with a full-length' emerald-
green party dress for her daughter,
only to be confronted by Ron in over-
alls and a moustache) the emotional
chasm between them and us, not to
mention among themselves, is too
great to cross.

Is Burning really is, its audiences will take
only what they want from it
In a bizarre sense, Paris Is Burning
is a "phenomeqon within a phe-
nomenon, a fIlm about people dreaming
, ,
of being famous and successful that has.
itself become famous and successful. To
most of the people whose lifestyles
Paris Is 'Burning portrays, even the
amount of money entailed in making a
low-budget documentary--a quarter of
a million dollars, say set:ms stupen-
dous, unimaginable. And to many of the
people who appeared in Paris Is Burn-
ing, being in a real fIlm has alwayS been
the epitome of their wildest
, .
fantasies of
success and riches.
"I honestly thought the project was
for a college thing," sayS the gorgeous , WNYC had given a granno Livingston to
Black ttanssexual model
\ , and entertainer
Octavia Saint I.,aurent. She and I are talk-
ing on a three-party line that includes
her agent-who now most thoroughly
- screens all writers before granting them
even a short interview. Octavia tells me
that she welcomes the exposure afford-
ed her in Paris Is Burning but deeply
,
r~nts the fact that no one bothered to
inform
. '
her of its release, She did not
even learn of the film's success until
people started recognizing her on the
street. Moreover, she is now somewhat
embarrassed by her homage in the film

to Paulina, a white modeL "Back then, ..I
didn't know that there were Black mod-
els jUst as big and just as beautiful-like
Beverly Johnson, whom I've now met."
With the film's impetus behind her,
Octavia aspires to "project to all types of
audiences and not just gay. I'm not
gay," she sympathizes, "I'm female." All
in all, she seems confused about why
her success is not identical to the film's.

"I didn't get anything but attention from
this," she complains.

This is not to indicate that most of

the House Mothers and children are not
,ecstatic ;tbout the mm, yet for a few,
financial compensation is the sore issue.
They are reluctant to process the fact
that although the film is a critical suc-
cess, it has not reached the point of
making a profit. Jennie Livmgston told
me that she hopes to offer a percentage
to the participants should the film ever
come out of the red. But"there is bne for - for her world tour.
whom the issue of compensation has
long left the arena of negotiation.
Paris Dupree" Lengendary Mother
of the House of Dupree, has been, orga-
nizing ~alls for mpre than a decade, and
for sev~ years he, has called his Balls
"Paris Is Burping." A few, years ago, he
gave Livingston pennission to film at his
Balls, with the understandin.g that she
would feature him.• and his House.
Livingston maintains that she also
planned to do an in-depth interview
, with Paris as she did with other House
, Mothers. "When the tinf came for film-
ing, Paris didn't show liP," said Liv-
ingston. "He said he wanted $20,000,
which I certainly didn't have." . came and did it....As for Paris, he justly'
Their falling out during early stages
of filming is centered around his interpre-
tation of a homophobic news item that
appeared in "Page Six" of the.NeW Yorle ·Jennie will give people their due. n
Post, which found scandal iQ the fact that
make a "documentary- about Black drag
queens." The item mentioned the sum of
$7 million, which Paris ~ believes was
the amount of Livingston's grant. "That
wasn't the amount of the grant," sayS liv-
ingston. "Our whole budget was under
$400,000. The article was talking about
the entire yearly budget of WNYc'"
Paris' complaints, however, seem
based more on an ongoing sense of dig..
enfranchisement than on any particular
facts. He himself appears briefly in the
film without being identified, and
although the poster for a "Paris Is Bum-
- .
ing" Ball is shown once, neither he nor
his House receive direct acknowledg-
ment for the tide of the film.
Who owns or receives credit for
any aspect of the House/Ball phenome-
na is quickly becoming a moot point. A
few years ago, sometime after the first
documentary on voguing by filmmaker
David Bronstein, the fashion and music
businesses were already making use of
the House scene, In 1989, the Love Ball,
sponsored
,
by a coalition of fashion
industries, raised money for AIDS and
used such notables as Iman and Thieny
Mugler as "realness" competition judges.
Meanwhile, both Malcolm McOaren and
Madonna have brought voguing to inter- ,
national attention. Articulate voguer
Walie Ninja of the House of Ninja has
toured worldwide as a dancer, and
•
members of the House of Xtravaganza
formed part of Madonna's dance team
And on April 28, l;Jloomingdale's
ran an ad in the Times: "Who Is the Leg-
endary Mother of the House of
B'dale's? ... the'real boge realness i:s
uptown in your new Y.E.S.· Paradox
Shop, where Gaultier Junior, Future
Ozbek, Hamnett and more face off at
the fiercest vogue Ball of them all."
For a large segment of the House
children and their mainstream consumers,
issues of ownership or co-optation have
become just too convoluted, "Nobody in
the actual community was making shit
about our drag Balls," said Dorian Corey,
·who is not one to mince words. ''1hank
God, somebody Dike Jennie Livingston]
was due something for the title and the,
filming of his Ball. Now that small suc-
cess is happening, I'm waiting to ~ h~w
Meanwhile, most children are just
looking forward to the next Ball. And in a
society where students at $20,OOO-per-
year Universities let their sideburns grow
· to look like Appalachian hillbillies and
wear motorcycIe j:;tckets·of dropouts who
would have kicked their asses less than a
generation ago-while some members of
a gay underdass shoplift for the destgner

figure out who's housing whom.T
