Love Ball
It’s West Side Story vs Paris is Burning! The annual Love Ball, presented by The Saint-at-Large, may well mark a defining moment in the larger gay world. For the first time, the mutually alien worlds of ballroom voguing and hot-boy Circuit parties will combine into what the organizers hope is a seamless whole, including voguers from the House of Xtravaganza, House of Ninja, House of Acid and commentator Jack Mizrahi. Plus, DJs Chris Cox, Alyson Calagna and Vjuan Allure. And if that’s not enough, the infamous balcony will be full with heavy petting where Chelsea and chicas collide.
