Pop culture references to the "Ball" community

On a forum that was pointed out to me, I saw an interesting post by Mizz Nicky LaLa, in which Mizz Nicky wrote that there are references to the "Ball" community (or "Ball" culture) in some of the songs performed by RuPaul.
Another intresting fact is the inspiration for RuPaul's "Supermodel of the World" album was a statement that Legendary Mother Octavia Laurent (Manolo-Blahnik) made in which she wanted to be the "supermodel of the world."

Mizz Nicky claims to have another source, which is based on the "Ball" community, for another one of RuPaul's songs.


RuPaul also cut a track called "Superbitch" for the South Park movie soundtrack a while back, in which she "summoned" the spirit of Venus Xtravaganza (who was featured in Paris is Burning) by reciting her midnight pier shadyness: "Touch this soft skin honey, Touch all of this skin dahhhhhling."


Classic... I love that if you scratch beneath the surface just a little bit, you find all these great historic moments of ballroom roots.


I will promise to continue my search for more references to the "Ball" community in our pop culture.

Hello

3. How does Levitra fix the problem? By inhibiting PDE5, the enzyme responsible for cGMP degradation in the corpus cavernosum, Vardenafil potently enhances the effect of endogenous nitric oxide, locally released in corpus cavernosum upon sexual stimulation.
[url=http://www.guelphcaribbeancuisine.com/]vardenafil online[/url]

2. So why do some men experience erectile dysfunction being experiences it? Well, during sexual stimulation, from nerve ends in the corpus cavernosum, nitric oxide is released, which activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase resulting in an increased level of cyclic guanosine monophosphate in the corpus cavernosum, thereby allowing increased inflow of blood into the penis.
