O’Shae Sibley was murdered so others could vogue. Unfortunately that is not a joke. Join me in protest this Friday at 4PM at the scene of the crime – 1935 Coney Island Avenue, BK 11230 – then again on Saturday for a memorial service at The Gay and Lesbian Center – 208 West 13th Street NYC 10011 – from 6:00 to 10:00 PM.
This is “Elements Of Vogue” (David DePino’s 1989 Original Mix) – Johnny Dynell feat. David Ian Xtravaganza as interpreted for broadcast by a school of vogeurs including Legendary London Legend, Roy and Britain’s early champion of the form, Les Child. (That’s her shutting down the category in a platinum hair hat.) Front and center and stealing thunder we see the lovely and sorely missed, Fidel Field. A fragile creature we knew too briefly. May she runway in peace. All this madness is circa 1990-ish. Don’t be jealous of their beauty, darling, be jealous of their talent!
Now, in the words of your Master of Ceremonies, David Ian Extravaganza, “I’ll now depart by saying, ‘I love you all for loving me.'”

The T has been released. Prepare for the coming conflama.
Old way is characterized by the formation of lines, symmetry, and precision in the execution of formations with graceful, fluid-like action. Egyptian hieroglyphs and fashion poses serve as the original inspirations for old way voguing. In its purest, historical form, old way vogue is a duel between two rivals. Traditionally, old way rules dictated that one rival must “pin” the other to win the contest. Pinning involved the trapping of an opponent so that he or she could not execute any movements while the adversary was still in motion (usually voguing movements with the arms and hands called “conflama” while the opponent was held against the floor doing “floor work” or against a wall).
I miss Willi. The whole world misses Willi.
While he didn’t create the form, he worked at refining it with clean, sharp movements to “an amazing level”. His influences included Fred Astaire, olympic gymnasts, and Asian culture in general. Willi Ninja, an inspiration to me…R.I.P.
I just heard that was Javier in the Madonna lipsynch number at the superbowl. WERQ JAVIER NINJA. From the ballroom to the superbowl. Javier can’t be touched. He sees no one.
