North Carolina's "London Prodigy" flexes his muscles in the sex-siren category.
London was one of the many members of the House of Prodigy that destroyed all the competition that night.

Well, this was a first for me: a ball in Chinatown?
I got to 98 Mott Street at 3am on Saturday Night/Sunday morning, just a few hours after the first categories had been called...
Most of the legendary House of Icon was there in full force.
Including Legendary Father James Icon looking sharp and pimped out
Here he is with the one and only Ashley Icon, one of the ballroom's all time favorite "realness" and "performance" girls
"Lets get ready to Battle Down......."
The collective showstoppers of the night were undoubtably the brothas and sisters ofthe House of Prodigy
After a few months of down time, the Prodigies were back in the building and stronger than ever. They swept the competition, taking home 15 trophies in all, including:Jacen Prodigy- BQ Brown Face
Aiesha Prodigy- Womans Brown Face
Neptune Prodigy- Midgets Runway
David Prodigy- Big Boys Runway
Kevin M Prodigy- BQ Vouge Fem
Chris Prodigy- Butch realness
Tiffany Prodigy- Drags Performance
Jaysin and Chris Prodigy- Butch Old way
Kenyon Prodigy- Perfect 10s
Tania Prodigy- FQ Runway
Tanaka Prodigy- Legendary Old Way
Dywon Prodigy- Old way
London and Dywon Prodigy-BQ Sex Siren
Sacoyia and Mercades Prodigy- Fem Queen Performance
my homegirl, the baddass aneesa blahnik was also in the building. she's an MTV real world diva-turned-ballroom-sinister. i like that, i like that.....
another lovely lady, up and coming legendary destiny xxtravaganza.
destiny and i go way back to our days with the house of khan circa 2002/03
contrary to popular belief, there are many women (both lesbian and heterosexual) in the house ball community.
Here are two sexy ladies: T.K. Khan (women's face) and Aneesa Blahnik once again
Though there are very few all "dyke" houses in the ballroom scene, butches are still well represented at the balls....
the epitome of "realness with a twist":ski prodigy
atlanta's eugene balenciaga and new york city's up and coming legend Rucka Revlon

soft spoken diva: mother jourdan
My original gay father, Legendary BQ Body Trevon Khan (right)
The epitome of BUTCH REALNESS: Javon "Stone" Khan (left)
and everyone's favorite schoolboy Mikey Khan
Shady lady Jacen Prodigy of Philly was unbothered as usual. Once again she made the kids gag as she sent the face kids packing one by one.
But Mike Balenciaga took home "light face" with no problems whatsoever...
Is the battle for "Face of the Year" officially a showdown between Mike and Jacen?
Only time will tell...
Lauren Tsnumani was also in the building and did well in the face category
Chicago's Maxwell Escada took home the trophy in the dark and lovely face category
And Sammy Aphrodite was the talk of the night after he sat down New York City favorite Jeremy Revlon
Another shining star: Randy Balenciaga
Jeremy Revlon, undeniable, unforgettable....
Classic butch queen carta.....
Sammy to Jacen: "You got me tonight, but it wont happen twice."
Jacen to Sammy: "Bring it. Anytime, anyplace!"
