Paris Is Burning

“If you shoot an arrow and it goes real high, hooray for you.” - Dorian Corey I hope all these beautiful icons rest well knowing the mark they’ve left in the world and the impact they’ve made on so many people’s lives. This film always gives me such tremendous joy just watching the people, the love between them, the art, the lights, the glitter, the outfits and the tenacity. It’s so fucking powerful. And then the last ten minutes or so will always make me a big slobbering mess. Venus was so beautiful. What an extraordinary diva. What an icon. And Dorian Corey… fuck I love her so much. A wine hangout sesh with her would heal me. Just to sit with her, listen to her stories, learn from her… yeah it would heal me.
