WEDNESDAY 3

The Ballroom Scene has grown stale…
Legendary battles are a thing of the past…
The Scene as you know it, no longer exists…
Tonight a Phoenix will rise…
They will destroy the weak…
They will teach the scene “how it’s done”…
And a new era of ballroom battle cats and divas will emerge…
Will you be the Phoenix?
Will you be our Hero?

CATEGORIES

REALNESS W/Twist – We’re bringing this back to basics. This category is not twisters vogue, this category is REALNESS with a twist. Tonight the judges will make sure your realness matters as much as your performance. But don’t get it twisted twister, if your performance is not right, they’ll be chopping for blood. NO FITTED, NO DURAGS!

BQ VF – Soft ‘n Cunt vs. Dramatics in a t-shirt with the name of anyone you just don’t use…

Team Sex Siren (1 Male Figure, 1 Female Figure) – One beauty and one brick just won’t do, this is TEAM Sex Siren, make us believe it, make us know it. In complimenting attire.

$$ OTA Legendary Performance – You may know why you’re Legendary, but do the rest of the girls? Do the new ones even know your name at all? Let the scene know that your title is real and that floor belongs to you. Bring us a performance to remember in something fashionable, anything less, is just not acceptable.

Male Figure Realness – Thug vs. Schoolboy vs. Exec vs. Butch vs. Transman vs. Pretty boy who is the true DEFINITION OF REALNESS. (6 Trophies)

Female Figure Realness – Real as rain is all I can say. You know the category, you should know the taste.

OTA Best Dressed Spectator – Understand the category, please don’t think of walking anything else tonight except this category, just watch and look pretty.

$$ FEB – I’m going to make this one easy since I haven’t seen a good FEB battle in years. Any season, any year, only the hottest pieces will grace the floor. Just be prepared to call out your pieces and make sure you know how to pronounce them.

Hand Performance: Hands in D Minor – Tonight you stand Center Stage. Using only your hands, control the orchestra for this special event tonight. Show us why you’re the real Maestro.

$$ BQ Perfect 10’s – Tonight only the real ones oozing sex appeal with a face to match will get through. Two out of three is nothing special, so you won’t get by tonight. Think it’s easy? You’ll have to do it with your clothes on. A real perfect 10 doesn’t need to bare it all in order to pull you in.

BQ Models Body – Bring it in a pair of label frames and a brief to match.
