Part I: 'Faces' in the crowd:
Mother Barbie mizrahi (virginia) and Mother Amiyah mizrahi (atl) were drop dead gorgeous as usual. the new "buzz" sammy aphrodite fit right in (between) their magic.
carta, class, grace, appeal!
and introducing J.R. MIZRAHI, the house of mizrahi's newest sex siren and prettyboy realness sensation. J.R. was in the final battle for prettyboy realness against D.C.'s Lil Rodney Balenciaga. Look for big, big things from this man in 2007, he's about to blow up!
"Jamal and Jamal": Ballroom Couple Jamal Revlon and legendary Jamal Milan
Before the ball Kenyon Prodigy of Philly was looking sexy as always
Me and Shawn EX-St. Clair from Virginia, one of my favorite prettyboys....
Mother Aisha Latex is one the community's hardest working Mothers. Aisha, who is the head of the House of Latex Project at G.M.H.C. (New York City's Gay Men's Health Crisis), makes sure that the community gets its "life" on and off the floor.
I always forget her name, but this lady in the House of Khan is the DEFINITION of women's face if you ask me. Definitely in the name of Mother Ayanna Khan
"How did I get signed up for this?"
look for Mariah Balenciaga on the cover of the October issue of CLIK MAGAZINE, set to hit stores any day now.
I love this picture of Mother Jamie Balenciaga, its very "pussy galore" 007 James Bond!
BUTCH QUEEN FACE DIVAS
Sammy Aphrodite's structure is not a game!
Xtravaganza power!
Lauren Tsnumani was in the building
Philly's Jacen Prodigy reigned supreme again, winning the "brown" face category
The Balenciaga boys (Mike and Randy) were also victorious, coming home with another joint-win for Light Face/Exotic Face
Always a pleasure hanging out with my D.C. homeboy, sexy "Lil Bo'"Allure
Justin Milan
I said a hip-hop, a hip-hippity, hop-hop.....aight, you know the rest.
DUWAN MILAN, the old-way Legend.
BUTCH QUEEN SEX SIREN
"X MARKS THE SPOT....."
My buddy Martin Aga was at it again
Goddammit....where do I begin?
Enough said! (Elliot Milan of Houston)
The "Hershey Kiss" CJ Milan
Ladies and gentleman....CJ Milan's ass!
And your grand prize winner in the butch queen sex siren goes to: EBONY (above). What do you think?
always my favorite, kenyon prodigy
Crowd Pleasers:
Crowd Pleasers:
The showstopping drags face diva Michel'e Allure of L.A.
DJ Prodigy of Chicago is the man! Even when he's in a toddler's dress. lol.
ALL AMERICAN RUNWAY
You cant deny that Kai Balenciaga is one of the men that breathed life into the "All American Runway" runway category when it was in desperate need....
Derrick Allure (also of D.C.) came out of top that night though. Derrick is one of the few All American competitors that is also known for knocking down all the competition in the European Runway category also.
EUROPEAN RUNWAY
love this effect...i could totally imagine seeing this guy in a magazine, very striking features
ALSO IN THE CROWD:
Outside of the scene, Jamal and Duwan Milan have been best-friends for years, in the scene they both are rocksocking legends in the "Old Way" category.
Me and Bruce Khan looking real Brooklyn Jamaican-like!
The Hall of Famer Andre Mizrahi.. also.look for Andre on the cover of CLIK MAGAZINE in a few days....
One of my favorite brothers, Mr. Morehouse Man...Martez Miza
I think Lil' Rodney Aga is the only kid that would could rock a hot-pink shirt and still win the schoolboy realness category
"A" Twister Heaven: Andre, Alpha, and Anthony Balenciaga
Justin Khan, also known as "Big Rose" from the P.O.C.C. Ball 2006!
Justin's Big Boy's Runway is not to be fucked with!
definitely double trouble!
Iman Mizrahi
Anthony Balenciaga
Double Trouble....Again!
What, doesnt every one have a paper-made dress in their closet?
For the "Bizaar" category Sidney Milan's effect was hot
A very well deserved Grand Prize
All I got to say is TALENT people, this community is just full of talent...
HEY FRANK
THE FEMALE FACE IS TK KHAN.
THE NAME OF BIG BOY RUNWAY ROSA IS JUSTICE "COUTURE" KHAN
THE BQID RUNWAY - "DID I SIGN UP FOR THIS" IS JAY J KHAN
YOU ALWAYS GET THE BEST PICS OF EVERYONE. I WILL SEE YOU AT THE NEXT FUNCTION.

Hey Frank - As I said on my blog no one covers balls better than you -- you really are Herb Ritts! I look so wore out and hot in that pic!!!! I was gagging when that Xtrava got chopped for BQ Face -- it was a great ball and like I said on my blog, it reminded me of the balls from the late 90's
