Hello Everyone-
I just found out today that Pepper Labeija, star of the film documentary Paris is Burning, the last ballroom LEGEND from an era when balls were balls died yesterday. She will be greatly missed. I am still in shock!

Subject: Rough Amusements by Ben Neilhart

A tip from a close friend, I thought I would pass on...

A new book is out, reviewed by the New York Times this Sunday,

Rough Amusements
The true story of A'Lelia Walker,
Patroness of the Harlem Renaissance's Down Low Culture

In the review, it states that the book opens up when A'Lelia attended one of the classic events of the Roaring Twenties Harlem, the Faggots Ball at the Manhattan Casino on 155th street. Need I say more.........and the paragraph ends stating one patron dressed as a minstrel at the ball shouting: LAW MISSIS! This pahtay's fulla white folk..

Interesting reading for the children, don't you think :-).... CARRY ON

MASHALA
