SPOTTED IN THE CROWD:

My baby sis, the gorgeous Mother Amiyah Mizrahi with face diva Randy Balenciaga

All sultry and sassy...well alright.

"Lacroix Sweetie!"

The House of (Christian) Lacroix boys were in the building, lookin fab as usual...

Hey, who's the guy on the left? I like this dude,

he's always done....

One of my D.C. brothers, bad-boy Lil Rodney Balenciaga....

The Aga Schoolboy Clan (above)

My homeboy Cleve Prodigy!

The "Chocolate Kiss" himself: Eric Allure

Like Daddy, Like Son:
Me and my son Andrew Miza...

The always adorable Lamar Prodigy.

REMEMBERING LEON KHAN:

Me and La' Luna Ortiz. By day Luna is an award winning AIDS activist, photographer, and socialite---by night he's the legendary mother of the House of Khan!
Luna, who is also a community health specialist at the Gay Men's Heath Crisis, is coordinating this year's annual House of Latex Ball.

My lil' buddy, "Lil Greg" Aga of D.C.

FACE THE FACTS

the one and only Shanice Ebony....

Shannon Khan is my absolute favorite "new girl" in this category.

Make no mistake, this lady is lovely. And cant you just imagine her being married to Ice Cube or someone like that? I love it.

Shannon Khan and the lovely, legendary Misha Milan

Everybody knows I just love me some Mahagony Prodigy.

Just classic beauty and grace.

She just reminds me of my Aunts---very southern "preacher's wife."

Mind you, Mahagony is from Brooklyn, I think.

and then came the highlight of my night:

The lovely and soon-to-be-icon Ayana Khan. Will someone just give this woman a record deal or a modeling contract or something. Enough is enough! Just beautiful for no dam reason...

absolutely flawless!

REALNESS WITH A TWIST:

Grand prize for Realness with a Twist went to my new favorite twister,

Anthony Balenciaga of D.C.

The Aga Boys were not playing.

Kurrupt Aga brought it back to the basics and showed us what Realness with a Twist is really about: "looking like a "boy" serving like tuna!"

Dont get it "twisted," Greg Prodigy might be new to the twister category, but he is as "pussy" as some of the twister veterans.

Bruce Khan gave us drama and fever, D.C.-style

and so did Ski Prodigy, another veteran twister from the Prodigy clan

Coco Rico Allure, always a favorite and always a Grand Prize Contender...

DRAGS FACE

I dont know who this new Milan child is, but i was luvin the look.

Los Angeles' Michelle Allure is always a crowd favorite

And so is naughty-girl Nadia Prodigy

Rakhell Aphrodite, a drags face diva in the making. Watch and see! This lady has potential.

and of course, we cannot forget:

The Lovely MARIAH BALENCIAGA

just all around excellence. its all there: teeth, skin, structure...

you know the rest!

"it tastes just like Candy....."

FEMALE FIGURE FACE

Following in the footsteps of her baby brother, Mike Balenciaga's sister took home her first Grand Prize in the women's face category. I smell another star in the making.

BUTCH REALNESS

I am convinced that this is the realness butch in the United States. Period.

FEMALE FIGURE SEX SIREN

Angel Revlon, another one of my favorites. Carefree, fiesty, fun....

Stasha Sanchez Miyake Mugler came to da NYC to let us know she was

motherfuckin' having it!

The Balenciaga Boys have really been on a roll this summer. You'll recall that last month at the POCC Ball, these boys stormed, and here they were again, making things hott.
