CATEGORY IS... BALLROOM BABY. This week, we're bringing it to the runway with a conversation about ballroom culture. Recently, shows like FX's Pose and HBO Max's Legendary have brought ballroom to the mainstream. However, the roots of the scene go deep into Black Queer and Trans culture of the 1980's. Without ballroom, for example, we probably wouldn't have drag or many other cultural references that we have today.
We're also joined this week by the one and only London Escada! London competed on Season 1 of Legendary as the Mother of the Iconic House of Escada–who ended up coming in 3rd place on the show. We chat with London about how he got into ballroom, his favourite parts of a "function," and how he feels Legendary could have been more authentic to the culture of ballroom and what they can do as they enter future seasons. It was truly a ball, darlings!
*Technical note: there were some wifi problems on Zoom during the introduction of London's interview, so just note that as you listen–they steady out further on in the interview.*
