Always good to have a reminder of the brilliance of Paris Is Burning. I have been known to randomly say "Pen-DAAAA-vis" when walking down the street. Nice to see Venus's legacy on Drag Race.

I just watched it again last weekend. It never stops being AMAZING

O-P-U-L-E-N-C-E. Opulence.

touch this skin honey, touch this skin darling, touch all of this skin. You just can't take it. You're just an overgrown orangutan!

It was great to see her legacy living on in Drag Race. There's also a new show here in NYC called the Murder of Venus Xtravaganza. Specifically trying to draw focus to the tragedy of her spirit and dreams violently extinguished. We just opened last night to an overwhelmingly enthusiastic audience. It's a drag ball memorial service for Venus with food & booze and the audience gets the opportunity to Vogue, but then the Mother of Xtravaganza sends the audience out onto the streets of Hell's Kitchen to solve Venus' murder by interrogating "suspects" - 1988 characters - in a fictionalized revisit to Venus' murder that's true to the times of 1988 NYC. Not enough attention can be given to that wonderful film!
