Yeah because this shyt seems too glamorous considering how things really were for the ball room community.

Also, fukk these Pillsbury Ads on the Coli
Exactly, I feel like Ryan Murphy has on a roller coaster ride and right now we are at the top but he's about to drop us. These characters are based off real people from the Paris is burning documentary. Every last one of those people ended up broke, destitute and dead.

It gives me a bad feeling. I feel like that Terry Crews looking nikka is gonna snitch on Elektra for dumping him she going to jail. Papi and Angel are gonna break up. Lulu gonna be back on the pier suckin dikk for crack. Pray Tell gonna die. Blanca gonna give one of Blancas speeches and Damon gonna show up in the last episode to be reunited with Blanca.
Pray Tell
Billy Porter already says pray tell dies this season during that Tamron Hall interview.

I watched that movie the other night.

You're right about that, plus the balls (:dame:) didn't look glitzy like on this show. They were in old gyms and were kinda dusty looking.

:russ: looked like it smelled like piss, Newports and broken dreams. With that being said I feel like it's a part of black history that is overlooked

Another thing I noticed

In Paris is Burning, the "mothers" seem to mostly be gay men and not transgender women in the modern sense. I think Pose exaggerates the number of transgender women that were there at the time.

Pepper La Beija said that he would never know what's it like to be a woman and that he opposes getting surgeries.

Yeah Pepper was a drag queen/cross dresser. She had a baby mama and kids before she died of diabetes complications. Used feminine pronouns but identified as a man.

Angel is crazy. She has always seemed irrational to me since Season 1. And now expects Papi to not take in his biological son :mjlol:
Angel is selfish and narcissistic as fukk and the only one who has checked her properly is Damon.



This scene from last season made me stop liking Angel, Pray Tell, Ricky and almost made me stop liking Papi and Blanca. Angel started the fight but everyone jumped on Damon when he started talking shyt back.

Papi is a great character. I wanna see him win, but maybe it’s not possible :mjcry:

Papi is also a complex character. Has a child with a dead cis-woman, is supposed to marry a trans women. How did he even get in with the ballroom folks? I don’t remember. Is he gay, straight, pansexual? Same with the actor too. :jbhmm:

I think he mentioned being bi. He is the least gay out of the Evangelista squad by far.

In real life he does date trehs but I'm not sure what his orientation is. Definitely not from Harlem but not full blown Greenwich Village either
