Crystal LeBeija (1968)

“I have the RIGHT to show my colors darling”

Pepper LaBeija legendary Mother of the House of LeBeija

Pepper Lebeija is the greatest

I see so much of LeBeija and Dupree in her.

Cats meets Paris is Burning and produces a queer dance party that gives you enough fun and embraces some of the inherent silliness of Cats to make you accept how thin the plot is and just enjoy some fun songs from the 1980s

I feel like Pepper LeBeija!

ooh Paris is Burning is a MUST experience Queer Cinematic feature. One cannot watch or even comprehend Pose and Voguing without multiple viewings and understanding of the Houses: Dupree, Lebeija, Extravanganza, Ninja, St. Laurent, Omni, Ebony and more.

Someone I always thought was sooo gorgeous is

Mo' dayvia lebeija

I was lucky enough to see this in a theater a few years back with a Q&A with a member of the House of LeBeija. One of my very best trips to the movies.
