CATEGORY IS: VALLEY OF THE DOLLS

It Ball is a Pride Month queer ballroom celebrating the Dolls — the icon, the fantasy, the identity.

A love letter to the child who played dress-up before the world told them who to be. To the ones who tucked their magic away. To the ones who never stopped.

Inspired by the ‘Protect the Dolls’ movement, this ball is an act of remembrance and rebellion. Dream Dolls, Broken Dolls, Fashion Dolls, Ballroom Dolls — every Doll walks, performs, and exists in their full fantasy.

Come as the Doll you always were.

“From the underground balls of Harlem, held in secret by Black and Latino performers, to being exported to the Indian city in its current form, drag ballrooms have seen an evolution of many stages, pioneered by queens who charted the trajectory of queer expression. In the room that night, Luna interrupts the course of the future, announces her place in it, and gives a baby queer the chance to believe as well.” - The Dirty Magazine
