THE DRAMA OF SINIA!!

A LIL CLIP OF HER THIS PAST WEEKEND!

FQ PERFORMANCE DIVAS AND LEGENDS OUT AND ABOUT!

ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT THIS PAST WEEKEND BESIDES BEING WITH MY SISTER SINIA WAS SEEING SOME OF HER PEERS ALL OUT AT THE BLAHNIK BALL. FEM QUEEN PERFORMANCE WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE CATEGORY BECAUSE TO ME ITS THE MOST ENTERTAINING! FEM QUEENS HAVE A WAY OF HYPNOTIZING YOU WITH THEIR VOGUE ESPECIALLY IF THEY HAVE THEIR OWN UNIQUE STYLE! HAVING SINIA,ASHLEY ANGEL AND DEEDEE OUT IN ONE NIGHT MAKES YOU WISH IT WAS THE GOOD OLE DAYS WHEN ALL THE GIRLS WOULD CUT UP HERE IS A FEW PICS!

THE HOUSE OF PRODIGY HAS BEEN WITHOUT A MOTHER FOR A WHILE SINCE MEEKA PRODIGY HAS LEFT TO PURSUE OTHER GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS OUTSIDE BALLROOM.

MERCEDES HAS BEEN AFFILIATED WITH THE PRODIGYS SINCE THE EBONY DAYS. SHE IS KNOWN FOR FEM QUEEN PERFORMANCE AND FQ REALNESS AND IS ALLOURAS AND MEEKAS SISTER.NOW IS HER TIME TO SHINE AND PUT HER STAMP ONTO THE HOUSE OF PRODIGY AND ONTO THE BALLROOM SCENE. LETS AS A COMMUNITY HELP SUPPORT HER AND THE HOUSE OF PRODIGY AS THEY ENTER A NEW ERA AND HELP THEM TRANSITION AS THEY SLOWLY NEAR THEIR LEGENDARY STATUS IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS! CONGRATULATIONS MERCEDES AND GOOD LUCK TO THE HOUSE OF PRODIGY

BLAHNIK BALL R10 THIS PAST WEEKEND

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I WENT TO A BALL IN PHILADELPHIA THE LAST BALL I ATTENDED THERE WAS THE PRODIGY BALL 2004. I FELT THAT THAT BALL WAS FABULOUS AND I MUST SAY THAT THIS BALL WAS JUST AS GREAT BUT THE VENUE WAY BETTER. FROM WHEN WE ENTERED IN THE BALL IT WAS AMAZING THE SPACE TO THE BALCONYS TO THE SUNLIGHT TO THE ENERGY! THE GRAND MARCH WAS GREAT HOW FATHER JAY BLAHNIK PUT HIS CREATIVITY AND CAPABILITY IN IT WAS STUPENDOUS! I LOVED HOW EVERYTHING WAS COORDINATED AND ON POINT AND MUCH KUDOS TO MOTHER STACY BLAHNIK FOR HER ENTRANCE IT WAS DEFINITELY A MUST SEE!ALSO CONGRATS TO JAY WITH HIS ICON STATUS AS HE HAS MANY ACCOMPLISHMENTS WITHIN AND WITHOUT THE BALLROOM SCENE! AS FOR THE CATEGORIES IT WAS MUCH TO SEE AND MUCH TO LIKE IT WAS LIKE THE OLD DAYS ALOT OF OLD SCHOOL CREATIVITY AND NOSTALGIA THERE WHICH IS WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO SEE TO BRING BACK THE BALLS TO GREATNESS HERE IS A FEW PICTURES THOUGH FAR AWAY OF THE BALL

BALLROOM THROWBACKS INTRODUCTION

13 YEARS AGO WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I ENTERED A BALLROOM I BELIEVE THAT THE FIRST BALL I PROBABLY WENT TOO WAS AT THE CLUBHOUSE ON 28TH STREET! I REMEMBER THE FEELING LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY IT FELT LIKE I WALKED THROUGH THIS PORTAL ,THIS UNDERGROUND REALM THAT NO ONE KNEW ABOUT EXCEPT THE PEOPLE THERE! I SEEN THINGS THAT I NEVER HAD SEEN BEFORE SOMETHINGS I HAD LAUGHED AT, SOMETHINGS ENTERTAINED ME BUT MOST OF ALL IT FASCINATED ME. HERE WAS A PLACE WHERE SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE CAME TOGETHER THAT WAS DIFFERENT AND THEY CAME THERE FOR ACCEPTANCE. HERE IS A PLACE TO PAY HOMAGE TO THOSE DAYS AND ALLOW THE NEW GENERATION TO APPRECIATE BALLROOM HISTORY ROOTS AND THE OLDER GENERATION TO RELIVE IT.BALLROOM THROWBACKS IS HERE TO BRING THE PAST INTO THE PRESENT TO CARRY INTO THE FUTURE ENJOY!
