<em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6EaBvrV6QI">30 Years of Philly Ballroom documentary</a></em> and <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/life/inq/philadelphia-ballroom-scene-lgbtq-ball-culture-vogue-20191210.html"><em>Philadelphia Inquirer</em> feature article</a>. In the article, legendary voguer Madelyn recalls being schooled by "Mother Hands" Dee Dee who sat down in a chair near the judges, crossed one leg over the other, and battled Madelyn with one hand: "She ate me to smithereens, I'd never seen somebody make so many shapes and movements and in one hand ever in my life. I was more in awe than I was devastated."post:www.metafilter.com,2020:site.187483Sun, 14 Jun 2020 10:09:13 -0800spamandkimchiqueerphiladelphiablackqueernessballroomvoguecompetitionLGBTQqueerhistorygaypridechosenfamilyculturalresistanceflyerarchiveephemeradanceculturalhistoryBy: spamandkimchi

This is so lovely, and I'm glad there are people dedicated to preserving the history and the ephemera of the scene. I share their concern as to what will happen after their time.
Maybe one of the "good" things about televised drag bringing ballroom culture into today's mainstream is that it might generate enough public interest to fund an archive and pay the salary of a couple of archivists.comment:www.metafilter.com,2020:site.187483-7940990Sun, 14 Jun 2020 13:55:56 -0800Pallas AthenaBy: StickyCarpet

This is really great. My son (high school junior) just wrote his big US History research paper on ball culture, so he's been immersed in this stuff all semester, and we've all learned more as a result. It's really fascinating.comment:www.metafilter.com,2020:site.187483-7941170Mon, 15 Jun 2020 06:39:03 -0800Ben TrismegistusBy: WeekendJen

OMG there really should be an archivist for ballroom history. The <a href="https://one.usc.edu/">ONE National Gay & Lesbian archives</a> at USC is on the west coast, but clearly has an ambit that would include this. <a href="https://zines.barnard.edu/">Barnard's zine library</a> is not the right kind of ephemera but also has the scrappier DIY history from below.comment:www.metafilter.com,2020:site.187483-7941313Mon, 15 Jun 2020 11:14:05 -0800spamandkimchi
¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
