01:30That's a good thing.
01:32Now this is the level I'm going to need y'all to bring
01:34to the inaugural Eros Spawn.
01:38Eros is the god of love.
01:41So housemothers and fathers, I need you to tell your spawn
01:44to spread L-O-V-E
01:47in the form of some sickening looks.
01:49Y'all like that?
01:50And Miss Electra, bravo.
01:52You certainly know how to upgrade a house.
01:54Ha-ha!
01:56Uh, quit it, bitch.
01:57You've only been here a few weeks.
01:59A praise for one is a praise for all.
02:01Even that wardrobe.
02:03You know, that fur collection has expanded
02:05since our abundance days.
02:06Where the coin coming from?
02:07Indosha don't pay that much for you to walk your ass to a table.
02:10Speaking of work, I'm covering the late shifts.
02:13Girl, it's midnight.
02:14Doesn't Indosha's close at 11?
02:16How would you know?
02:18We'd never let the likes of you in.
02:19Love you too, bitch.
02:24Congratulations, girl.
02:25Save your well wishes for someone who needs a validation, hag.
02:27Can't she play games?
02:29No, no, no, no, no.
02:40Hello, cheers.
02:42Cheers.
02:42Cheers.
02:43Cheers.
02:44Cheers.
02:46Cheers.
02:47Bye-bye.
02:49Bye-bye.
02:53Shiny, shiny.
02:55Shiny boots of leather
02:59With flash girl child in the dark
03:05Cards and bells
03:07Your servant don't forsake him
03:11Strike dear mistress and cure his
03:15Mr. Selector, is that you?
03:18Who the fuck do you think it is, Paul?
03:19Of course it's me.
03:22Ah!
03:23I'm sorry, Mr. Selector.
03:25I'm an idiot.
03:26I'm a worthless piece of shit.
03:29Yes, you are.
03:30And you appear to have helped yourself to my wardrobe.
03:33The panties are mine.
03:35I just couldn't resist trying to on your heels.
03:38You like giving your power to women, don't you?
03:41You disgust me!
03:42I disgust myself, Mr. Selector.
03:47I bet you wouldn't last a day in my pumps.
03:50The adversities I faced would cripple you.
03:52Get up!
03:56You can't even stand, you pathetic creature.
04:00Stay right there.
04:11What is that?
04:13Amyl nitrate.
04:14You want to try it?
04:16I do not do drugs, nor do I approve of them.
04:19No, no, this and a little coat?
04:22It'll keep me going all night.
04:24You're charged by the hour, don't you?
04:28Fine.
04:34Holy shit!
04:35I can't believe I finally found a career that truly fits me.
04:38Four days a week and I'm already making more than I've made in my entire life.
04:42So does that mean you're finally going to ditch that job at Indochene?
04:44I don't see why I can't do both.
04:46Working here brings in the money, and working there keeps my name on the lips of the rich and famous.
04:50Business is booming since 8.
04:52She's right.
04:53Handjobs replace blowjobs.
04:55No one can pay the bills.
04:57Sometimes I feel bad for these guys.
04:59Too scared to feel pleasure so they turn to pain.
05:02I never feel bad for a man.
05:03All I know is for the first time in a long time, I feel great.
05:08Keep that attitude.
05:09It'll make you rich.
05:10Amen!
05:11Oh shit!
05:16What?
05:18Angel, don't try me.
05:19This is my primo look.
05:20Exactly.
05:21Come sit over here.
05:27You're trying to get into the beauty industry.
05:29Yeah.
05:30Ain't no way you're getting anybody to give you a storefront if they clock you.
05:33You know that.
05:34You're selling fantasy right now.
05:36Well, not everyone is lucky enough to be born with perfect bone structure, honey.
05:40I appreciate my privileges, but that don't mean you've got to make things harder for yourself, man.
05:44Look at this, girl.
05:44What?
05:45Come on.
05:46Not to be rude, but you got a shit style.
05:50It's easy for you to judge.
05:51How many ladies dressing rooms you've been kicked out of?
05:54I grab what I can off the rack and get out of Dodge before someone calls security.
05:58I don't know if anything fits right or looks good until I get home, and by then it's too late.
06:02I never thought about that.
06:03Yeah, well, I gave up being fashionable a long time ago because of it.
06:07A woman don't need to walk in a room.
06:08And tell everybody that she a woman.
06:10Less is more.
06:11I'm going to show you how to do your makeup.
06:14We are throwing these rags away.
06:17This is my good shirt.
06:19And we are getting you proper high fashion.
06:24And you're going to get yourself that storefront.
06:27Mama's got to pay the rent, girl.
06:29You are going to make an excellent mother.
06:31Oh, I know.
06:47Clark, keep the car running.
06:49This won't take long.
06:50Hi, Miss Norman.
06:51I'm Blanca Rodriguez.
06:52I'm the prospective tenant.
06:54Are you a PR, Puerto Rican?
06:55No, I'm American.
06:57I'm sure, but where's your family from, your lineage?
06:59I'm Dominican.
07:01Good.
07:02Let's go in.
07:03I don't normally rent to anyone darker than my Aunt Lily after a week's vacation in Palm Beach.
07:08But I've had good luck with Dominicans.
07:10Hard workers, for the most part.
07:12Well, that's me in a nutshell, Mrs. Norman.
07:15I plan on making this into my own nail salon.
07:20I already got a loyal customer base for my last job.
07:24May I say, whoever does your nails does an excellent job.
07:28It's Ms. Norman.
07:29I'm recently divorced.
07:31He was half a fag.
07:33I walked in on him, bent over a vitro grand chair, getting plowed by our doorman.
07:38That must have been very painful.
07:39Life is pain for women.
07:41That's why we're tougher and better at being mean when the time comes.
07:44And I was mean.
07:46Whatever that doorman did to him was nothing compared to the reaming I gave old Randy Norman in divorce court.
07:52This building is one of many that ended up in my pocket.
07:55It is very special.
07:57I got plans to maybe even put a tanning bed in back once I save up enough.
08:01It's not special.
08:02It's a shithole.
08:03But I see the future.
08:05Gentrification.
08:06Do you know what that means?
08:07I'm up on most of the newest beauty techniques, but I'm not sure I've ever heard of that one.
08:11New York is changing, Brenda.
08:13Blanca.
08:13By the year 2000, there won't be a neighborhood in this city where a normal person feels uncomfortable walking.
08:19When you make a neighborhood safe and desirable, good people move in and make it too expensive for the troublemakers,
08:24so they move out.
08:25Property values go up.
08:26Everybody wins.
08:28Well, I like winning.
08:36First and last month's rent, plus a security deposit.
08:41Do you take cash?
08:42I prefer it, actually.
08:44For tax purposes.
08:46Where did you come into that much cash?
08:48You're not into crack, are you?
08:49No.
08:50I told you I have a loyal customer base.
08:51I've been saving for this for over a year.
08:53It's my dream.
08:55Wait, don't we need a contract or something?
08:58Best if we just do it all over a handshake.
09:00You will save plenty in taxes and insurance, trust me.
09:03I'll come by at the end of the month for my envelope.
09:05I prefer larger bills.
09:06Wait, so you mean this is mine?
09:07No, it's mine.
09:09Never forget that.
09:10No, I'm sorry.
09:10I mean, it's a storefront mine to use as my salon.
09:13Yes.
09:13Are you dumb?
09:14You didn't strike me as dumb.
09:16No.
09:17No, I'm not dumb.
09:18I'm not.
09:18This was a dream of mine that I didn't dare speak out loud, and now I'm just scared to
09:21believe that it's even real.
09:22It's real.
09:23Don't blow it.
09:27Ah!
09:27Ah!
09:28Ah!
09:30Ah!
09:30Ah!
09:31Ah!
09:32Ah!
09:33Ah!
09:33Ah!
09:33Ah!
09:34Ah!
09:36Ah!
09:36Ah!
09:37Ah!
09:37Ah!
09:39Ah!
09:39Ah!
09:39Ah!
09:45Ah!
09:50Ah!
09:50What the hell?
09:51Damon!
09:52Over here!
10:04It's with all the hearts.
10:05Valentine's Day was two months ago.
10:07I'm testing out these decorations for the Euros, Paul.
10:11What?
10:12Hmm?
10:13I need an excuse to make love to you.
10:16Mm-hmm.
10:18Mm-hmm.
10:18Mm-hmm.
10:18What's with the curtains?
10:20Just knew we needed privacy.
10:25I'll be quick, then.
10:31Oh!
10:32I'm so sorry, boys.
10:33Hey, Ricky.
10:34Welcome back.
10:35Can you not?
10:36Can y'all both put on some clothes?
10:37I need you to come into the living room.
10:38I need you to come into the living room.
10:39It's a family meeting now.
10:40Can it wait?
10:40I need you to come into the living room room?
10:40You-
10:41No!
10:42Derrick died!
11:10Oh, my.
11:11Why? Are you trying to wake the dead from their slumber?
11:15Angel has been helping me with my new look.
11:18What do you think?
11:19If I liked it anymore, I'd be straight.
11:22Then the dead would awaken.
11:25You haven't come in for your follow-up visit.
11:27Are you doing okay on those meds?
11:30Blanca, why aren't you taking those meds?
11:33I'm afraid of the side effects.
11:34I told you, we're going to monitor you very closely.
11:37I don't know what it is, okay?
11:38I've been studying that bottle every day.
11:40I've been looking at the pills in my hands, and I...
11:42But I just can't take them.
11:44Is part of the reason you're not taking them
11:46because you feel like you don't deserve them?
11:48No.
11:49Part of me feels like maybe I deserve this disease, you know?
11:53That sound crazy, right?
11:55No.
11:56When you're surrounded by all this death,
11:57of course you might feel guilty about surviving,
11:59but you can't give in.
12:01All right, can you two stop keeping secrets?
12:03Now, Angel told me that you went uptown
12:06to meet that real estate man-eater.
12:08How did it go?
12:09Bitches in the post every day,
12:10does she really have fangs like everybody said?
12:13No, but she got a set of claws on her.
12:15That woman is scary as all hell.
12:16But she gave me the space anyway.
12:19Oh, my God.
12:20We'll be open for business by the end of the month.
12:23Listen, I don't know if it's because I passed,
12:25but I didn't dare question it.
12:26I just accepted terms on a handshake.
12:30You shook on it?
12:32What?
12:33How would I do wrong?
12:35Nothing.
12:36Congratulations, sweetheart.
12:37I'm proud of you.
12:38Thank you, Bray.
12:42Now, where the hell are my boys?
12:48Not worth it, Mother.
12:55Oh, my God.
12:56You guys are so cute.
12:58Oh, my God.
12:58Like, how do you move your hand so fast?
13:00Oh, my God.
13:01Teach me.
13:05How fucking did you not show up to Derek's funeral?
13:11Y'all are mad disrespecting.
13:13And where were y'all?
13:16You know what?
13:17Don't tell me.
13:18Because I can smell the liquor from your breasts over here.
13:20We were downtown socializing like you wanted us to.
13:24So we can get discovered.
13:25Bullshit.
13:26I just didn't want to deal with the reality of seeing one of your peers lying in a coffin.
13:29I mean, you told us to take advantage of this moment, and that's what we did.
13:33Yeah, we went down to Palladium for Sunday tea, and like usual, nobody paid us any mind.
13:37But then I started bogeying.
13:39You know, nothing special, just how I do it, any ball.
13:42And then, like, this crowd formed around us, and the rest of us joined in, improvising,
13:46and suddenly it was like we were celebrities or something.
13:49The whole club went nuts.
13:51Mother, you were right.
13:52Times are changing.
13:54Miss Thing, those Blanquitos were living.
13:57We drank for free all night.
13:58Y'all, they recognized what we were doing, and it was like they saw us for the first time.
14:03We ain't invisible to white folks.
14:06No more.
14:09Ballroom is about to be more popular than Studio 54 ever was.
14:13Ballroom is not a trend, nor is it about some flashy dance moves.
14:16Ballroom is about family, something y'all didn't show up for today.
14:21You know what?
14:23I'm tired of looking at your faces.
14:25Go to your room and drink some water.
14:28Go to your friends.
14:45You and Florida can dance.
14:48Electra and Aphrodite serve realness.
14:50Veronica, uh, Veronica.
14:54She's a seamstress girl.
14:56That takes skills.
14:57You know what?
14:57You're right.
14:58I can't be measuring everybody's work based off what they can do under the ballroom spotlight.
15:02A behind-the-scenes bitch is necessary to every house.
15:05And, um, what exactly are your strengths?
15:08The fuck is that supposed to mean?
15:11Look, enough with all that stomping.
15:14You sure you girls have worked up an appetite?
15:17What do we have here?
15:19This is a menu, fit for the runway.
15:21This absolutely will not do.
15:23There better be some Chinese takeout on the way.
15:25We don't do MSG.
15:26We're dieting.
15:27Then why is she serving milkshakes?
15:28It's Slim Fast.
15:30You've seen the commercials.
15:31Give us a week and we'll take off the weight.
15:33Our house.
15:34Our menu.
15:35Our rules.
15:38It truly is a lovely house.
15:41Thank you, bitch.
15:43Our cuisine should be as equally impressive, don't you think?
15:46The rent broke my little piggy bank's back.
15:49I spent what was left on some Orville Redenbacher, some Slim Fast, and a manicure.
15:54My nails were ravaged after all these errands.
15:56Any of you always got any complaints?
15:57They do look good, Mama.
15:58Look, it's not about what's on the plate.
16:02Hmm?
16:03It's about communion.
16:05Conversation.
16:06And the sisterhood.
16:14Here.
16:17It's good for your metabolism.
16:26Well, sisters, I must bring up the fact that I'm in need of more closet space.
16:30That broom closet you gave me can only store my hat boxes and gloves.
16:33Where am I supposed to put my clothes, my coats, my jewelry?
16:36There's only one other closet.
16:37It's in my room, and I share that with Lulu.
16:40You gonna share your fine luxuries with us?
16:43Use the space on your bed for storage.
16:45That is no way to store luxury.
16:47Candy, wait.
16:48I think...
16:49This is my house.
16:50It's my closet, and it's allocated.
16:53You are a guest.
16:55You ain't talking to Blanca, bitch.
16:57Remember that.
16:58You're right.
16:59This is your house.
17:01Glad you recognized that.
17:04You've made me realize something.
17:06I've gone about this all wrong.
17:08I keep making space for you, Candy.
17:11For Lulu.
17:12For Blanca.
17:13Something in me keeps bringing me back to those girls I raised.
17:16But why?
17:17Why do I keep lowering myself by associating with you tired old raggedy reminders of my failure as a mother?
17:23You ain't got no business calling anybody old.
17:25You ain't nothing but an over-the-heel, homeless sex change.
17:30That's it.
17:31That's where it all started.
17:33I got my operation, and Mr. Ford left me, and I got soft.
17:38I became weak, insecure, but no more.
17:41What I now realize is I am the one and only Electron.
17:52What the fuck, bitch?
17:54What is this?
17:55It's called my new signature move.
17:58I'll send for my things.
18:08Hello, my dear.
18:11Sorry, we can't have a turn.
18:12I'm starting a new house, and I need a girl like you.
18:15Ain't no white girls in ballroom.
18:16Consider this affirmative action.
18:19I am building the fiercest house ballroom has ever seen.
18:23I dominate the runway.
18:25A dance is the future.
18:29And if I want to snatch trophies, I need children who will bow the house down.
18:35The legendary and iconic Madonna has seen to that.
18:38Her song's number 10 this week with a bullet.
18:40But you're better than this, Jasmine.
18:43Only a fool will count out a beauty, a talent like you.
18:47Stand by my side, and I promise I will unleash your fullest potential.
18:54It's story time, children.
18:57Mother Goose is about to tuck you in with fairy tales dripped in romance and drama.
19:06All right, up first, Evangelista.
19:10Romeo, Romeo, we're awesome, Romeo.
19:17My champion.
19:21Drink, drink, drink.
20:24I think somebody wants to go to the ball.
20:33And who are you?
20:35It's me, your fairy godmother.
20:38Here to get you ready for the ball, Cinderella.
20:52She's going to the goddamn ball.
20:56All right, bippity-bippity-news, bitch.
21:00Yeah, go.
21:01House of Torosley and Pops.
21:03Play with these Disney classics.
21:05What on earth is going on?
21:08Who did not pay the light bill?
21:11No.
21:23Elector, we're in the middle of a category.
21:25We're not here to walk.
21:28Then why are you pulling stunts, bitch?
21:31We're making an entrance.
21:33May we introduce ourselves?
21:35Pray tell.
21:35They can't be storming balls like this, interrupting festivities just to make a statement.
21:39They not welcome with Snow White and Toe.
21:41Shush, mom, girl.
21:42Enough of your lip, Electra.
21:46It's hammer time, bitch.
21:50I'm about to get that poor facelift, bitch.
21:53I've come prepared to gut you like the fish you'll never be.
21:57Security, come on in here and break this shit up.
21:59Break it.
22:01Break it up.
22:02This is a ball, not a pro.
22:05All I wanted to do was introduce my house.
22:07Aren't I worthy of that, considering all the glory I brought to ballroom?
22:14The council has spoken.
22:16No, bitch.
22:18Bye, Electra.
22:20Get your paws off me, beast.
22:27We are the house of Wintour, named after the legendary editor-in-chief of the sacred text that is Vo.
22:36Quake in fear, children.
22:39Wintour is coming.
22:45Mother.
22:45Mother.
22:47Mother.
22:49That house is Banji.
22:52Take us back.
22:53What?
22:57Bye.
22:59Those two house-hopping bitches.
23:01This shit is above my pay grade.
23:02I need a break.
23:04You haven't done that all right now.
23:09You look like you could use a drink.
23:12No, I'm a burden.
23:13I know, Chris.
23:15Have a drink with me.
23:16I'm looking for true love.
23:19Sorry, I'm not available.
23:20They never are.
23:22At the start.
23:24You're cuter than I imagined.
23:26Don't tell me you've seen me in your dreams.
23:28No.
23:29In photos.
23:31I was Ricky's bunkmate on tour.
23:35Grace, you said?
23:37I never mentioned you.
23:39Of course not.
23:41Can't be guilty of a crime no one knows you committed.
23:44You know what?
23:45You're a liar.
23:46I trust Ricky.
23:47I don't have no reason not to.
23:48I am your reason.
23:50I fucked your man, and everybody knows it.
23:53You got a lot to say.
23:54I do.
23:55Hey, you need you to squash it, okay?
23:56She claims she didn't suspect, but that guy tells a different story.
24:00Is it true?
24:01Did you sleep with him while you were on tour?
24:04Babe.
24:05No.
24:05Sleep with Chris?
24:06I would never do that to you.
24:07That's not what you were saying all summer.
24:10You back the fuck up.
24:11Don't be mad at me.
24:13Don't be mad at me.
24:14You're the one in denial.
24:15What'd you think he was doing every time you called and couldn't reach him?
24:17Hmm?
24:18Playing cards.
24:19You should put fucking mouth.
24:21Hey, why don't you drop 10 pounds?
24:22That's me.
24:22That's a fucking way.
24:23You keep talking with shit.
24:29Is this really fucking happening again?
24:32Another fight?
24:33I'm shutting that ball down until you bitches learn how to act.
24:36Get out of here and get some common sense.
24:39Get out.
24:40Get out.
24:41We got other shit to worry about right now.
24:43Y'all fighting each other.
24:46Fuck.
24:48Y'all have been going back and forth about this for hours.
24:50Why don't y'all just go to bed?
24:52No, we're not going to do that.
24:53No, we're going to talk about it right now.
24:54Now, swear to me.
24:57Swear it's a lie.
24:59Tell all the evangelistas that you're not at you to go ahead.
25:01It's not true.
25:03I would never do that to you.
25:04What when you tell me that there was another gay guy dancing with you?
25:07I mean, it's a concerto.
25:08Aren't all the dancers gay?
25:09Can you please give them some privacy?
25:12Why are you staying?
25:13So they don't learn of each other.
25:14Then you think you told me that all the guys you was dancing with was straight.
25:18So you lied to me now?
25:19I didn't tell you about Chris because if I did, you would just jump to conclusions.
25:23You're always so jealous.
25:24Oh, so now I'm always jealous.
25:25When have I ever been jealous?
25:27You're right.
25:27What the fuck you laughing at?
25:28Huh?
25:28You're right.
25:29You ain't never jealous.
25:30You don't never jump to conclusions.
25:31I'm the crazy one.
25:33You know what?
25:33I don't even trust your ass anymore.
25:35It's a fake.
25:36I let you talk me into not wearing a condom again.
25:38Excuse me?
25:39I thought we had a conversation.
25:40No, I thought we were being monogamous.
25:59What are the dogs' names?
26:00This one is cash, and the one on my left is credit.
26:04Make sure that makes it in the story.
26:05I'll do my best.
26:08I told your editor the only way I'm agreeing to this is if I have some editorial control.
26:12I'm not letting you write some torpedo piece.
26:15My angle was going to be that powerful women can have it all, even after a tough divorce.
26:20Oh, well, I like that.
26:22Jonas, where have you been?
26:24And why can't you wear a suit?
26:25You're an executive now.
26:27My portfolio is the largest of any female real estate owner in the city, probably the world.
26:33But I like to keep the organization streamlined, efficiency.
26:38Jonas is the executive vice president.
26:40I was out making collections.
26:46He personally oversees the collection of rents.
26:49It gives him a chance to check in on every property.
26:52A personal touch that can only happen in a family business.
26:57And this is Umbro.
26:59It's more expensive than a Ralph Fluence.
27:03Let's take a break, Elizabeth.
27:04Would you excuse us a moment?
27:12Don't ever flash cash in front of a reporter again.
27:15Do you want the IRS on our assets?
27:17And stop using the word collections.
27:19You sound like a mafioso.
27:22You know that storefront you rented out yesterday?
27:26I went to check with the electrician.
27:27I ran into the new tenant.
27:30You know it's a guy, right?
27:31The Dominican?
27:33You're out of your mind.
27:34You're too busy being superior to people to actually look at them.
27:38I'm telling you.
27:39That's a man.
27:42If that's true, he has to go.
27:46Excuse me, what's your name again?
27:49Well, I'm good.
27:50I'm good.
27:50Yeah, I hate to listen.
27:51I hate to be the bear of bad news.
27:52This ain't gonna work out.
27:53You gotta go.
27:54What are you talking about?
27:55Thank you very much, but my mother wants you out of here.
27:57I don't want to hear you.
27:57You're out.
27:58You know, I'm just going to tell you.
28:00I'm just going to get home.
28:02Now, the landlord and her ogre spawned.
28:05He said he wasn't written to me no more.
28:06I got clocks.
28:07It's a damn shame.
28:08You ain't even polished a fingernail up in that dump yet.
28:11Girl, I'm sorry.
28:12I'm just saying.
28:13I'm just saying.
28:14They can't be evicting you like that.
28:16It's illegal.
28:16Since when a poor brown transsexual got any rights?
28:19Plus, they no paper trail to even prove I was even there.
28:22I paid her cash.
28:23She didn't make me sign nothing.
28:25How could I be so stupid?
28:27You don't even want to know Damon's drama.
28:29Not only is he accusing Ricky of sticking his penis in anything that walks,
28:33but he just admitted to me that they doing it wrong.
28:35Oh, girl.
28:36What the hell do I have to do to get through to him?
28:38To make him see that he is way too valuable to be taking risks like that.
28:42You know, gay black boys ain't never been trained to have a dollop of self-belief.
28:48You know that.
28:49And even if he did value himself enough to use protection,
28:52he ain't thinking about tomorrow when he's laid up there with Ricky.
28:56You and I have been where they are.
28:59How you think we got here?
29:04Wait, that's it.
29:05They need to know that I've been where they are,
29:07that I understand they struggle.
29:08Shit, if I would've known my worth at their age,
29:10maybe I would've made some smarter choices.
29:11Yes.
29:12Listen.
29:14You are their mother.
29:16Senate example.
29:18They need to see you out there righting their wrongs now, too.
29:22If you're not willing
29:24to go defend yourself against that landlady,
29:26how do you expect your children to ever fight for themselves?
29:48You are trespassing.
29:50I paid you first and last.
29:51This is my place for at least two months.
29:53You deceived me.
29:54I can work with thieves and murderers,
29:56but I cannot do business with...
29:58a liar.
30:00Norman Properties reserves the right to evict tenants at any time.
30:03Wait, I'm sorry.
30:04Was that written in my rental contract?
30:05The one you told me we didn't need?
30:08You know, I talked to those nice people
30:09at New York City Commission of Human Rights.
30:11They're in charge of making sure people like you
30:13don't discriminate against people of color when renting to us.
30:15And they set me up with a nice lawyer pro bono.
30:18And she said, without a contract,
30:20I've got squatter's rights.
30:21And I should stay put until I have my day in court.
30:24Sweetheart, I've got an entire law firm on retainer.
30:26I've got the best Jews from Harvard and Yale
30:29ready to squash you like a bug.
30:30You know, for the first time in my life,
30:31I'm fighting back to the bitter end.
30:33I'm not here to gentrify neighborhoods
30:35so white ladies like you can feel comfortable
30:37walking down the street.
30:39I'm here for me.
30:41It's not just Jews I have in my Rolodex.
30:43I've got Italians, Russians,
30:46ones that can be very persuasive.
30:48Are you threatening me?
30:49Only your kneecaps.
30:50You think I'm scared of a beating?
30:53I've had more beatings than you had breakfast.
30:56Now shoot, I have a grand opening in two days.
30:59You'll hear from my lawyers.
31:01Good.
31:02It's all right.
31:07It feels so good to have Cubby and Lamar
31:09and Elektra out of this house.
31:10It was getting too crowded in here.
31:11You're not going to be saying that
31:13when they dancing for another house
31:14at the next ball
31:15and we on the bottom again.
31:16I've seen plenty of bottoms flip
31:18and become tops.
31:19It's not that hard.
31:21All right, all right.
31:22Enough playing.
31:23Enough playing around.
31:24I got to talk to y'all about something serious.
31:26Ricky, Damon,
31:28I was stunned to hear that y'all two
31:30were still having unprotected sex.
31:31I thought all those funeral rules
31:32we've been going to would scare you
31:34into being responsible.
31:35but apparently
31:38I need to take
31:39some more direct action, so.
31:41This is what's going to happen.
31:43No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
31:44A cucumber?
31:45I'm going to take
31:46some proper condom application, stop.
31:49Now, I recommend pre-lube
31:51when putting it on
31:52so it doesn't break
31:53indoor and penetration.
31:54Indoor and penetration.
31:56Hey, let's get this salad
31:57for dinner, boy.
31:58You know what I'm saying?
31:59Mr. Mouse,
32:01you think you're so special
32:03this thing is just going to
32:04skip on over you,
32:04but you're not.
32:10Tell them.
32:14All right, I'm going to tell y'all
32:15the hard truth.
32:18You boys are young,
32:20black,
32:21gay, and poor.
32:23This world despises you.
32:24You get this disease,
32:25you die.
32:26They feel relieved
32:27that you're getting what you deserve
32:28and living in a world like that
32:30can make you feel desperate for love.
32:32Now, if you want to be healthy
32:33and do it the healthy way,
32:34you can do it like how our community does
32:36by forming houses.
32:38But it is much faster
32:39if you do it in an unhealthy way.
32:42And that's what I did back then
32:43when I started in this world
32:44in 83 or so
32:45when none of us understood this plague.
32:51I thought the only way to find love
32:53was with my body.
32:54So I would go out to a club,
32:56get a little drunk,
32:58find me a man
32:59that would love me for a while.
33:01And even in those moments
33:03when his arms were around me,
33:04I believed he loved me.
33:06We didn't know each other's names.
33:08I just convinced myself
33:10that it would feel like that forever.
33:15But it didn't.
33:17So I would find another
33:18and then another.
33:20None of them ever even gave me their name.
33:23I would completely debase myself
33:25for these men.
33:26I just wanted love.
33:27I just wanted to be
33:28somebody's precious thing.
33:30What girl doesn't want that, you know?
33:32Anyways, that happened
33:32a couple of years back
33:33and I stopped drinking
33:35and doing that.
33:36But by then it was too late.
33:37I had left those guys inside of me.
33:40Inside my heart,
33:41inside my body.
33:42I wanted to please them.
33:43I wanted to make them feel so good.
33:46So I didn't use any condoms.
33:50And now...
33:55And now I got AIDS.
34:04Listen, I'm sorry.
34:05And I didn't mean to hide it from y'all.
34:07I just wanted to protect y'all.
34:08And me telling the truth
34:09is the only way I could do that.
34:19Look at me.
34:20I'm fine.
34:22You're lying to me.
34:30You are one brave woman,
34:32you know that?
34:34You looked after me.
34:37No one else would.
34:39And I promise
34:40I'm gonna look after you.
34:43All of us.
34:45Not gonna let a single
34:46bad thing happen to you.
34:48You get one little sniffle.
34:51And you come straight to me.
34:54I'll do whatever it takes
34:56to keep you healthy, huh?
34:58I still cold medicine for you.
35:01I love you, mom.
35:02I love you too.
35:03Listen, I don't want
35:04none of y'all
35:05to not love y'all selves.
35:07That was my problem.
35:08My mistake.
35:09And sometimes it still is.
35:11But no more.
35:12No more.
35:13Which is why
35:14I'm gonna fight this disease.
35:16And in doing so,
35:18I'm gonna fight for
35:18Enrique Norman
35:19and get my salon back.
35:30Number 27?
35:48I love you.
35:59I love you.
36:01I love you.
36:02Maybe that's the reason why I'm willing to turn or look the other way, but I just need honesty.
36:06I told you nothing happened with Chris.
36:09I mean, where is this coming from?
36:12You know, you just, you've torn the world, you've been in videos, you've got all this attention.
36:19What am I doing?
36:19School, the balls, that's something, right?
36:27I'm lost.
36:30I just really don't have a good feeling about myself right now.
36:37You're my good feeling.
36:41I, uh, I have to go.
36:44I'm sorry.
36:46I'm going to be late for rehearsal, but I promise we're going to finish this later, okay?
36:53Okay.
36:59I'm going to rehearse him.
37:21All right, all right, y'all.
37:22Welcome to the Eros Ball.
37:24Welcome to the Eros Ball.
37:26Yes, yes.
37:28Tonight we're celebrating passion.
37:31Reveling.
37:32Love.
37:33Sex.
37:34And I'm talking about lust.
37:36You know, that sweet smell of new passion.
37:40And I'm talking about desire.
37:44And however that comes to you, I need you all to understand that you must treat yourselves
37:49with dignity.
37:50Because everyone in this room is deserving of love.
37:52Y'all understand me?
37:54Everyone in this room is deserving of love.
37:58All right?
38:00And love should feel good, right?
38:02And love should also be safe.
38:05Y'all see what I'm passing out here tonight?
38:06Take a few of them with you.
38:09Or y'all be a nasty.
38:12Now, let's get this ball started.
38:17The category is high fashion in feathers.
38:23And I want to see all my ladies stop this bitch to the ground.
38:29First up, House of Evangelista.
38:33Come on, Grace.
38:35All right.
38:36Carrient, the mother of the year, darling.
38:39All right, that chair's a bit precarious.
38:41Please don't drop her.
38:42That would be a devastating fall from Grace.
38:45Come on, come on, come on, with it.
38:47I ain't mad at you.
38:48I ain't mad at you.
38:49Are you hot?
38:49You need to be banned, baby.
38:51Chocolate is smooth.
38:53Give me your fucking wings.
38:54Come on, give Miss Long at Evangelista her scores.
38:58Eight.
38:59Eight.
39:00Seven.
39:01Eight.
39:02Eight.
39:03All right.
39:04You don't have to do a little better than that, I think,
39:06but you look good today, girl.
39:07Excuse me.
39:08Okay.
39:09That's your scores.
39:10Really, Miss Candy, did I not just say
39:13the category is high fashion in feathers.
39:17Are you blind?
39:18These are fucking feathers.
39:19Hey, could somebody please take this bitch back to kindergarten?
39:22So she can learn the difference between feathers and faux moves.
39:27Talking big talk now, I'm like I'm on the purse.
39:31Ferocity is chopped.
39:37Girl, bye.
39:38Thank you very much.
39:39She's next.
39:40All right.
39:41All right.
39:41House of Wind toys.
39:42Hands to enter the floor.
39:44Ha-ka.
39:45Da.
39:46Ah.
39:46Ah.
39:47Ah.
39:48Ah.
39:48Ah.
39:48Ha-ka.
39:49Ah.
39:50Oh, I'm living.
39:51All right.
39:52Y'all bringing it.
39:52Y'all bringing it.
39:53Ah.
39:54Ah.
39:54Y'all bringing it.
39:55To the floor.
39:56To the floor.
39:57Y'all bringing it.
39:58To the floor.
39:59Yes.
40:01We love it.
40:06The house of Wind toys is serving us down boots, baby.
40:11I live.
40:12I live for the production value.
40:14We got clams on a half shell up in this bitch tonight.
40:17Well, actually, it looked like a bullshit.
40:19Crack that bitch over.
40:21Release the cracker.
40:22The Wind toys are out for blood.
40:25Oh, suck it, suck it now.
40:27Deep.
40:28Out of the deep.
40:29It's black, afro-type.
40:33The iron-cored Elektra dropped from the heavens, baby.
40:38Sometimes she's a mother.
40:40And other times she's just a mother.
40:43But Joe Mack, the house of Wind toy didn't come to play with you hoes tonight.
40:47They came to slay you hoes tonight.
40:50Good work, your soul.
40:52Head, head, head, head, head.
40:55Across the board.
40:59Those aren't fucking feathers.
41:01I know, baby, but they better than yours would ever be.
41:04I know that's hard to take.
41:07Elektra takes another trophy.
41:09I don't know where you put them all.
41:12All right, all right.
41:14Yes, yes, yes, mother blanca, listen here.
41:16Listen here.
41:17Looks like mother of the year is going to be a bit more elusive this evening.
41:22But I want to let y'all know something.
41:24There is an award that I know that you can snatch with ease.
41:28And that's business woman of the year.
41:31See, you bitches don't know nothing about that.
41:33Our mother blanca is an entrepreneur.
41:37Okay.
41:38You see, she's been discriminated against.
41:40But she's been standing up for her rights.
41:43And not just for herself, but for everybody in this room.
41:48We got to fight for our rights.
41:50We got to fight for each other.
41:53So you may not have taken the trophy home this evening.
41:57But mother blanca, you are a shining example of Exeter.
42:00And you are always a champion.
42:03To me.
42:04Stand tall.
42:05Stand proud.
42:06Out.
42:06Shout out.
42:07Touchdown.
42:07Touchdown.
42:09I told you.
42:16What's going on?
42:18You okay?
42:21I've been doing some thinking about us.
42:24And what I said to you when we got tested.
42:29I love you, Ricky.
42:30I do.
42:33But somewhere along the way, I've stopped loving myself.
42:36And I need to try to figure out how to love him again.
42:40What are you saying?
42:43We need to take a break.
42:45A break?
42:46Nah.
42:48I'm way too young to have somebody already be my everything.
42:52I...
42:55So, you're breaking up with me?
43:00You can't be surprised.
43:04I mean, you can deny it, but I know that you slept with Chris.
43:08And that is okay.
43:10I want you to be able to pursue that.
43:12Don't do this.
43:13Hey.
43:15Fight for us!
43:19Hey, man.
43:22Please.
43:26Please.
43:31I don't know what I'm going to do without you.
43:38If you...
43:39Oh, my God.
43:39I can't...
43:40I can't...
43:40Then you can go to Blanca.
43:44I...
43:46I can't help you.
43:50I'm sorry.
43:52I'm sorry.
43:54I'm sorry.
43:54I'm sorry.
44:05I'm so happy you came to see me.
44:08Ha.
44:08For free booze?
44:10Anytime, honey.
44:11Mm-hmm.
44:12I know why you invited me here.
44:14And why is that?
44:15For you to tell me to stop pushing my medicinal agenda.
44:20Blanca, you don't want Western medicine.
44:22You want to fight it your way.
44:23I get it.
44:25I'm not a pusher.
44:26I'm just an advocate.
44:28But we can still be friends.
44:30Mm-hmm.
44:31You want some wine?
44:32No, I'm good.
44:32I'm just going to have some water.
44:34Oh.
44:35We're on a health kick now.
44:37Yes.
44:43I think I'm going to start taking them.
44:45It's about time, Blanca.
44:48They're going to save your life.
44:55I'm scared.
44:58To die or to live?
45:28Oh my God, you're my first customer.
45:30Welcome to both nails.
45:32Y'all got acrylic?
45:33Uh, yeah.
45:34How long you want them?
45:34Long.
45:36All right, well, come on.
45:37I'm going to take good care of you.
45:41What kind of nails do you want?
45:42You want them like mine?
45:44Scales are sometimes unbalanced.
45:47Yes.
45:48It's called the Naomi.
45:50Oh.
45:51It's all about the body.
45:55Them legs going to get you far, girl.
45:57Hit, strike, and work.
45:59Oh.
46:00Oh, hold on now.
46:01You hit me with the hips.
46:02Gotta hit you with the pose.
46:03And I tell you now that I've made a vow, I'm giving you the best that I've got, baby.
46:17Yes, I tell you now that I've made a vow, I'm giving you the best that I've got, honey.
46:26I say, I'm saying, everybody's got opinions about the way they think our story's gonna hurt.
46:34I'm Steven Evangelista, and this is Vogue 101.
46:52I said, in alphabetical order, Chanel Dior Fendi.
46:57Get it right.
46:59Oh, no thanks, I'm not hungry.
47:00And I need to be in fighting shape anyway.
47:02Every day they have more and more auditions for Focus.
47:05They're Focus, I like that.
47:08I'mma just say, it don't feel right that Ricky's not here.
47:11I respect that you chose yourself, but we loved him too.
47:14I see how much y'all love him when y'all hear he'll win tour now.
47:17What? Who told you that?
47:19You know what? I'm not even worried.
47:21You should be. Electra don't play fair.
47:24Well, guess what? Life ain't fair.
47:26Evangelistas have been the underdogs before, and that ain't stopped us from getting what's ours.
47:29We won against Electra.
47:31I went toe-to-toe with Frederica and got my own salon open.
47:34And shit, I'm fighting against AIDS.
47:36Yes, mother. Thank you.
47:38Listen, we can do anything as long as we got each other.
47:41Well, that deserves a goddamn toast.
47:44Family, it's a family.
47:46Family, it's a family.
