HISTORY: YOLANDA THE FEM QUEEN HELLION OF PERFORMANCE. WHAT SINIA AND ASHLEY STARTED IN THE EARLY 90'S SHE PICKED UP AND TOOK IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL. LIKE A HYBRID ANIMAL SHE CARRIED ATTRIBUTES OF THEIR PERFORMANCE AND MADE IT HER OWN. YOLANDA WAS SOMEONE THAT STARTED VERY YOUNG AND WAS SOMEONE FROM THE BEGINNING THAT WAS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. YOLANDA WOULD COME IN LIKE A THUNDERSTORM AND HER MAIN GOAL WAS TO LEAVE DESTRUCTION IN HER PATH. THEIR WAS AN INNER DEFIANCE WITHIN HER REBELLIOUSNESS THAT SHOWN IN HER PERFORMANCE SIMILAR TO A SCORNED CHILD. ONE OF YOLANDA'S EARLIEST NOTORIOUS PERFORMANCES WAS AT ASHLEY ICON THEN ST CLAIRE BALL 1996. SHE AND MONIQUE MIZRAHI A.K.A. PUSSY WAS ON THE FLOOR BATTLING AND THE CROWD STARTED GOING UP FOR THEM LITTLE DID THEY BOTH KNOW WHAT IT WAS NOT THEM THEY APPLAUDING FOR IT WAS SINIA SHE WAS STORMING FROM THE BACK WITH HIGH KICKS AND THE CROWD WAS GOING BANANAS. PUSSY KINDLY STOOD TO THE SIDE AND HER AND SINIA STARTED BATTLING TO DIN DA DA. THE BATTLE WAS FUELED FROM THE BEGINNING AND SINIA THE ULTIMATE BATTLE CAT AT THE TIME WAS DOING THESE 360 ROUNDHOUSE KICKS TOWARDS YOLANDA THAT STOPPED THE BATTLE. INSTEAD OF PAYING IT THIS LIGHTED THE FIRE WITHIN HER. IN 1997 THE GLORIOUS YEARS OF THE INFAMOUS CLUBHOUSE IS WHERE YOLANDA'S PERFORMANCE GREW AND NERVE THAT CAME ALONG WITH IT. SHE WOULD BATTLE LEGENDS AND BE UNBOTHERED ABOUT IT. THERE WAS WHERE SHE BATTLED LATISHA AND ALSO ASHLEY WHO SHE ATTEMPTED TO CAT FIGHT WITH BUT ASHLEY HAD LOCKED HER. 1997 LATEX BALL IS WHERE SHE BATTLED KRISTINA RICHARD'S TSUNAMI AND WON OVER HER ANOTHER LEGEND AT THAT TIME. THROUGH HER CONSTANTLY VOGUING SHE HONED HER PERFORMANCE YOLANDA INVENTED THE BACKWARDS DUCKWALK AND WHERE SINIA STARTED THE HAIR SWINGING, YOLANDA TOOK IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND WOULD DO IT FOR A WHOLE BATTLE WITH HER STUNTS. LATER IN 1997 IS WHERE SHE AND SINIA MET AGAIN ON THE RUNWAY. THIS TIME AT THE CLUBHOUSE. JACK ASKED WHO DARES DEFY SINIA AND YOLANDA STEPPED ON THE RUNWAY THERE LIKE 2 CATS STUCK IN AN ALLEY THEY BATTLED WHERE THEY WAS GOING HEAD TO HEAD. THE INTENSITY OF THE BATTLE ENDED IN A REAL FIGHT WHICH HAS WENT DOWN IN BALLROOM HISTORY. LATER THAT YEAR IS WHEN YOLANDA LEFT HER FIRST MAJOR PERFORMANCE STAMP ON THE SCENE AT THE 1997 MIZRAHI BALL. THE CATEGORY WAS BRING IT LIKE SINIA SLOW AND SEXY OR LIKE ASHLEY DARING AND DRAMATIC. SHE BROUGHT IT LIKE ASHLEY AND TURNED THE BUILDING OUT. SHE SWUNG HAIR DID ASHLEY MAKAELLA AND HER FINAL DIP WAS A DIP LIKE SHE DIED. FROM THEN ON SHE BECAME A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH IN JANUARY OF 1998 SHE CAME TO PHILLY AND THERE STARTED THE LEGENDARY RIVALRY BETWEEN HER AND NIAMBI PRODIGY THEN EBONY. THERE WAS AN ELECTRICITY BETWEEN BOTH OF THEM THAT LIT UP THE RUNWAY! THEY HAD 3 CATFIGHTS THAT NIGHT THAT ENDED WITH HER WINNING AND FROM THEN ON THEIR RIVALRY WAS ETCHED IN STONE. SHORTLY AFTER AT HER HOUSE OF JOURDAN BALL SINIA CAME OUT TO VOGUE AND YOLANDA STORMED HER WHICH WAS UNHEARD OF AT YOUR OWN BALL. THE DEFIANCE YOLANDA COULD NOT BE CEASED. IN THE MIDDLE OF 1998 SHE TOOK A HIATUS AND WAS BACK ON THE SCENE THAT FOLLOWING YEAR 1999 HER RETURN DEBUT WAS AT THE PHILLY AWARDS BALL 1999 WHERE HER AND NIAMBI MET AGAIN AND THE SAME DRAMA AND INTENSITY REPEATED AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS FOR HER WINNING AGAIN. THAT NIGHT SET THE PRECEDENT OF THE YEAR FOR HER BALLROOM CAREER. WEEKLY SHE WOULD MEET ON THE RUNWAY OF CLUBHOUSE WITH DEJA JANESE AND OTHERS. YOU CAN SAY THAT CLUBHOUSE WAS THE TRAINING GROUNDS OF THAT TIME FOR ALL THE FUTURE VOGUE LEGENDS. SHE AND SINIA ALSO PUT AN END TO THEIR FEUD AND BECAME MOHTER AND DAUGHTER WHICH SPARKED MANY OF DRAMAS ON THE FLOOR. DEJA WHO VOGUED DRAMATIC AT THE TIME WAS A CONSTANT RIVAL TO YOLANDA AND WHEN HER AND ALEXIS STEPPED FOOT IN NY THEY WAS CONSTANTLY AT WAR. AT THE 1999 LATEX BALL WHEN SHE WAS BATTLING DEJA SHE JUMPED OFF THE STAGE. ANOTHER MEMORABLE MOMENT. SHE ALSO TRAVELED TO ATLANTA FOR THE STATE VS STATE BALL. THERE SHE BATTLED REVLON WHO WAS THE ATLANTA RULER OF FQ PERFORMANCE THEN. THAT NIGHT YOLANDA ADDED SOMETHING NEW TO HER PERFORMANCE SHE INFUSED HIP HOP MOVES THE FIRST FEM QUEEN TO DO THAT. YOLANDA HAD ALSO TRAVELED TO BALTIMORE BATTLED DEE DEE REVLON ANOTHER FEM QUEEN PERFORMANCE DIVA. TIME AND TIME AGAIN SHE MARKED HER TERRITORY IN 1999 ALL OVER THE BALLROOM NATION. IN 2000 WAS WHEN THE TIDES TURNED FOR HER THE PREVIOUS YEAR SHE TOOK UNDER THE WING AN APPRENTICE CHRISTINA WHO BECAME ALLOURA JOURDAN. ALLOURA WAS HER PERSONAL SECRET WEAPON WHO TOOK DRAMATICS TO A NEW LEVEL. AT THE TURN OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM YOLANDA BRIEFLY LEFT JOURDAN AND WENT TO THE HOUSE OF MUGLER WHICH RESULTED IN ALLOURA WINNING OVER HER. SHE SHORTLY WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE OF JOURDAN AND THAT IS WHEN RIVALRY WAS BIRTHED THAT HAS HAD A SPAN OF TEN YEARS WITH MEEKA. WHERE HER AND NIAMBI'S RIVALRY WAS BASED ON THE FLOOR, MEEKA'S AND HERS WAS A SISTER RIVALRY THAT WOULD CLAIM WHO WAS THE TRUE HEIR TO SINIA. THEY BATTLED FOR FQ PERFORMANCE AT THE CLUBHOUSE JANUARY 2000 AND MEEKA CLAIMED THE BATTLE EACH TIME. THE NEXT TIME THEY MET WAS AT THE AWARDS BALL THE FIRST TIME FQ PERFORMANCE WAS FOR A THOUSAND DOLLARS MEEKA GOT HER AGAIN THEN AGAIN AT THE REVLON BALL 2000 AND LASTLY THAT YEAR AT A ST CLAIR MINIBALL. YOLANDA VENTURED OFF INTO JUNIOR SEX SIREN AT EBONY BALL 2000. THE FOLLOWING YEAR 2001 YOLANDA WAS GONE FROM THE SCENE FOR PERSONAL REASONS. SHE MADE A BRIEF RETURN IN 2004 AT JACK'S AT SPEED. THE RIVALRY WAS AGAIN REIGNITED WITH MEEKA WHERE THEY BOTH STEPPED ON THE FLOOR READY TO SCRATCH EACH OTHERS EYES OUT BUT THE BATTLE WAS STOPPED BY SINIA FEELING THAT A FIGHT WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE. YOLANDA WOULD MAKE SPORADIC APPERANCES AND IN 2006 BATTLED KRISTINA IN CHICAGO WHERE KRISTINA TOOK HOME GRAND PRIZE. 2007 ICON BALL IS WHEN YOLANDA ONCE AGAIN SHINED TRIUMPHANT. THAT NIGHT SHE BATTLED AND SLAYED KRISTINA AND DEJA DOING CLASSIC YOLANDA BEING BANJI CUNT AND LOOKING PRETTY DOING IT. THAT YEAR SHE ALSO BATTLED AND LOST TO NIAMBI AT THE 2007 POCC BALL AND LATER ON JOINED WITH HER ON A LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE TEAM WHICH THEY TURNED OUT. YOLANDA WAS ALSO FOR A BRIEF TIME THE MOTHER OF PONY'S HOUSE OF ZION. IN 2008 SHE AND MEEKA MET AGAIN AT THE ICON BALL WHICH IS KNOWN FOR THEIR LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE CATEGORY. MEEKA AGAIN TOOK GRAND PRIZE. TWO YEARS LATER AT THE 2010 EVISU BALL YOLANDA DEBUTED AGAIN AS A REVLON THIS TIME AND HER AND MEEKA AS USUAL WAS THE LAST BATTLE WHERE MEEKA TOOK HOME GRANDPRIZE AGAIN WHICH CAUSED CONTROVERSY. YOLANDA HAS PUT INA LOT OF WORK AND MEMORABLE MOMENTS INT HE SCENE AND IS DEFINITELY ON HER WAY TO ICON STATUS!
NOTABLE MENTIONS: ONE OF YOLANDAS TRADEMARKS WAS CONSTANTLY CHANGING HER HAIR EACH WEEK. SHE WOULD CHANGE HER AIR FROM LONG TO SHORT TO BANGS TO PONYTAIL TO VLACK AND MOST NOTORIOUS BLONDE SHE IS DEFINITELY A CHAMELEON IN HER OWN RIGHT. SHE ALSO HAS WALKED AND WON REALNESS.
