We recently watched a clip go viral of a rising influencer walk and win the Realness category, and their followers were shook and a little confused in the comments.

Seems like the perfect moment to reshare TENz 2021 short “Realness. More Than A Category.”

These days, “realness” gets tossed around as a catchy buzzword by folks outside the scene, usually after a binge of Drag Race — to label a look or vibe (Eleganza Realness). But in Ballroom, realness isn’t a tagline. It’s a lifestyle on and off the floor. in the everyday.

Didn’t FKA Twigs do it for you” with a full-out, high-concept set complete with immaculate lighting and choreography. Cardi B brought the drama and had the gurls feeling the MONES!

On the final weekend of Pride Month, over 20,000 folks including the full spectrum of the alphabet gathered beneath the “K” Bridge in Brooklyn for the annual return of LadyLand Festival, a genre-defying, two-day celebration of q***r nightlife, music, and culture. Curated by NYC nightlife icon Ladyfag, the visionary behind legendary parties like Battle Hymn and Holy Mountain, this year’s edition proved to be nothing short of a cultural phenomenon.

The stacked lineup featured performers across three stages, including Pabllo Vittar, Sukihana, Eartheater, Isabella Lovestory, VTSS, Alex Chapman, UNIIQU3, Leonce, Liam Benzvi, Sofia Kourtesis, Alexis De La Rosa, Armana Khan, Cortisa Star, and Hercules & Love Affair and Lushious Massacr.
