FIERCE broadcast of The Joan River's Show with Jennie Livingston, director of "Paris is Burning". Legendary ball divas Dorian Corey, Pepper LaBieja, Willie Ninja and Freddy Bendover relate the history behind The Houses, The Balls, Voguing. Explain the different categories, the scoring system, the trophies AND teach Joan some slang, Joan Rivers learns the meaning of "24/7" for the very first time! LOL!

  • @gabbis, Miss Dorian is undeniable. I believe there was a mummified body found in her closet after her death. This was a story my cousin, one of Larry's children, had told me.

  • Did anyone catch the host say "Is Paris Burning" instead of "Paris Is Burning."

  • @NaughtybyNaitcha WOW! I didn't know that. I saw this in the theater, and own it on VHS and DVD. If someone says "No lady is sure-", I go directly to the ball.

    Good for Octavia. Shame on Jenny.

  • @NaughtybyNaitcha I did not know that. Sad to hear that the community felt cheated. 

  • @slimfast67 That "lovely young woman" misrepresented herself to the ball community. She said that she was filming it for a school thesis but she ended up selling the documentary to Miramax. Those who were filmed didn't receive a dime until Octavia Saint Laurent successfully sued her.

  • totally forgot Joan Rivers had a talk show.

  • Look up the YouTube video titled,"The Legendary Crystal Labeija" to see the person that they are talking about in this clip.

  • Jennie Livingston looks exactly like I imagened her to look! Just like Saffy from Ab fab. An academic, white, bookish lovely young woman! Bless her <3

  • the director is so goofy and cute

  • RIP TO THESE AMAZING 3 QUEENS!!!!

  • is there anything exotic nowadays about gay culture? just seems like everyone wants to have babies and join the army! id much rather be a freak and true to myself than give a shit what society thinks of me
