WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GLAMOUR OF FEM QUEEN FACE?

SOMETIMES I THINK OF THE THINGS THAT I LOVED MOST ABOUT THE BALLROOM SCENE WHEN I CAME OUT.  EVERYONE THAT KNOWS ME KNOWS THAT VOGUE WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE MY FIRST LOVE.  WHAT COMES INTO A CLOSE SECOND HAS TO BE FQ FACE!  WHEN I CAME OUT THE BEAUTY'S OF THAT TIME THAT GRACED THE FLOOR WERE VANESSA MIZRAHI, AYANA KHAN , MISHA MILAN, CHEYENNE ALLURE ETC.  EACH OF THESE LADIES WERE BEAUTIFUL AND HAD THERE OWN UNIQUE LOOK. VANESSA ON ANY GIVEN DAY COULD GIVE YOU AN OLD HOLLYWOOD STARLET OR SWITCH INTO A BARBIE DOLL VIXEN.  AYANA KHAN HAD SKIN OF DEW AND A SMILE THAT COULD MELT THE SHADIEST JUDGE DOWN.  MISHA MILAN WAS PURE GLAMOUR EXOTICA SHE WOULD SWITCH HER HAIR FROM LIGHT TO DARK AND LOOKED LIKE SHE REEKED OF MONEY.  CHEYENNE APHRODITE ALLURE WAS A PURE UNADULTERATED DARK SKINNED BEAUTY.  HER STARE COULD COMMAND A BALLROOM FLOOR THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER GIRLS THAT CAN BE NAMED FROM THAT ERA THAT WERE AND IS SO BEAUTIFUL BUT WERE ALL DIFFERENT.  WHAT THEY ALL HAD IN COMMON WAS THAT THEY WERE UNIQUE!  I REMEMBER HOW BEAUTIFUL I THOUGHT THEY WERE THEN I WOULD SEE BALLROOM TAPES FROM YEARS BEFORE AND SEE EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL FEM QUEENS. TANAY PENDAVIS, TRACEY AFRICA, MOLDAVIA LABEIGA, DANIELLE REVLON, OCTAVIA ST LAURENT, ONJANAE MILAN, ETC.  THESE ARE THE STORIES THAT YOU HEAR NOW THAT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE MYTHS.  HOW AT A BALL SOMETIMES FQ FACE WOULD BE THE MOST AWAITED CATEGORY OF THE NIGHT.  THEY WOULD DIM THE LIGHT AND THE CATEGORY WOULD BE CALLED AND THE "GIRLS" WOULD COME OUT THE WOOD WORKS THEY WOULD BE HIDING OUT FOR HOURS JUST WAITING FOR THIS CATEGORY.  EACH GIRL WOULD COME OUT AND STORM THE RUNWAY( AND SOMETIMES EACH OHTER) AND THE BALLROOM WOULD BE IN A CHAOTIC FRENZY.  THE THING ABOUT THESE LADIES WAS THEY WERE NOT JUST LOVELY THEY WERE REAL!  SOME OF THEM LOOKED LIKE THEY COULD OF STEPPED OFF A VOGUE OR COSMOPOLITAN COVER.  THEY WERE GLAMOROUS AND CONFIDENT AND THEY DRIPPED OF COMPETITIVENESS!  WHAT I FEEL IS EVEN MORE AMAZING ABOUT THESE LADIES DEDICATION IS NOT JUST THEIR BEAUTY BUT THAT WOULD DO THIS FOR COMPETITION, A TROPHY! $5,000 CASH WAS NOT GIVEN AWAY BACK THEN THIS WAS ALL FOR COMPETITION, AND SHADY RIVALRY'S!  THE GIRLS WOULD SPEND TONS OF MONEY ON THEMSELVES FROM HEAD TO TOE SO THEY COULD COME AND DECREE FOR A NIGHT!  MY QUESTION TO EVERYONE IS WHAT HAPPENED?  IF WE GET A HOT FQ FACE BATTLE WE ARE LUCKY.  THE ONLY TIME WE MAY GET ANYTHING CLOSE TO THAT IS A HOT BALL IN ATLANTA! WHY HAS THE COMPETITION DWINDLED SO MUCH FOR THIS CATEGORY.  WE STILL HAVE SOME BEAUTY'S THAT ARE PART OF THIS GENERATION WITH THE SAME POTENTIAL AS THE LADIES IN THE GENERATION BEFORE. TRACE MIZRAHI, LOLA BALENCIAGA, NADIA MILAN, SHANNON KHAN, AMIYAH CHANEL, ETC.  SOME OF THESE NAMED LADIES AND OTHERS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE THIS CATEGORY FEATURED AND HOT AGAIN BUT WHAT WILL IT TAKE?  HOW CAN WE APPLY THE FORMULA FROM PREVIOUS GENERATIONS AND DRAW THE SAME COMPETITION AND FERVOR THAT THIS CATEGORY HELD FOR SO MANY YEARS?
