Legends of Vogue

Home video of a presentation of vogue for public consumption at an Love Ball for AIDS charity in (I believe) 1989 or 1990. David Ian Xtravaganza MC's; Willi Ninja, José Xtravaganza, and several others from various houses are featured. Watch for cameos by Lady Miss Kier (of Deee-lite) and Avis Pendavis. Newscast shots from this ball were included in the later portion of Jennie Livingston's documentary Paris is Burning.

Remember this, there is still a lot to fight for. The road has been paved but there are still a lot of cracks that need fixing. To Avis, Willie, Dorian, Angie, Paris, Pepper & all the others who walked the runway, may your soul and light shine down upon us and may we never forget what you sacrificed for us. Thank You.

WILLIE NINJA IS DA BEST AND HATERS CAN CHOKE ON IT!

GOD BLESS AND KEEP HIM

The youth today do not poses the discipline, or the drive, to strike poses in succession, to Vogue, with such finesse and charisma.

Old Way, Performance, and New Way performed during the 80's and early 90's, is to me, the proper way to Vogue, truly an art form that is but all lost in our modern times.

@STLHouseLegend ..truer words are seldom said.

@STLHouseLegend you r so right they are voguing at all

[rreettyyuull]

@STLHouseLegend you keep saying this but what i find painful is the fact that no one is wiling to teach i have tried to connect with many icon s and legends and they dont respond so i have no chioce but to scrape what i can and interpret the best way i can cause i have realize this beyond you also

[rreettyyuull]

@DaebrianTV i so agree i am new kid too and is really trying to pull the origins together vogue runs deep it was birthed from pain and joy

[rreettyyuull]

@javoneybaby how do you know this and what did willi study?

[javoneybaby]

willy ninja never saw jose extravaganza because willy ninja was a dancer also not a poser.jose extravaganza poses but tell him to give you some leg moves and she will gag because she cunt do it.

I'm thankful for this video. These legends paved the way for me and I am happy this video is available for new schoolers like myself. This is what is missing, this is what we strive for and study. My favorites, Lamar Elite, Willie Ninja, Glenn Adonis, Shawn Omni, man! My question is; where was Ronald Lamay?

[STLHouseLegend]

@heymanwatswrong Most of this would be considered the Old Way these days...like I said on my comment for "Vogue Classique" these new kids don't have the discipline to execute these moves; for them its a dance whereas for us it was and is an ARTFORM! And they think what they do is art---HAH, SUFFER!
