Product Description
Product Description
At the end of the 1980s, Voguing suddenly entered the mainstream when featured in Madonnas Vogue video, Malcolm McClarens Deep in Vogue single and the 1990 documentary Paris is Burning won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Photographer Chantal Regnault spent many years capturing the emergent underground gay ballroom scene in Harlem at the end of the 1980s, from where Voguing emerged. A riot of fashion, image, poly-sexuality and a radical subversion of style, sexuality and race is vividly captured in the hundreds of amazing, never before seen, photographs in this deluxe book. The book also features interviews with key figures from the movement, essays, flyers and documents from this momentous era.

To Be Real
20 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
Although I love Chantal Regnault's photographs from 1989-92 that record and report on the New York City underground ball world, this is
a strangely random undertaking. Missing are images of the real `legends` turning it, the hallmark of the runway, and the interviews are so inaccurate that there obviously was no real editor involved in the project. Right out of the gate Hector Xtravaganza states that `Carmen is the Mother now since Angie died`. Danni was our Mother after Angie died. Following his death Raquel became the Mother, followed by Giselle. I would hate for anyone doing research on the ball scene to use this sort of information as truth. It isn`t. There are so many of us old schoolers around for fact checking. I`m sorry to see this kind of data recorded as fact.

Great collection of Voguers from the late 80s NY scene. What a concept. Chantal Regnault was dedicated to capturing this underground scene and I , for one, am happy she did.
