A body hidden beneath a mattress. A confession lost to suicide. And two families refusing to let her be forgotten.Venus Xtravaganza was a rising star in New York's ballroom scene, immortalized in the landmark documentary Paris Is Burning. But before the film could finish, Venus was found strangled in a Manhattan hotel room in 1988. Her murder went unsolved, her legacy nearly erased. Now, decades later, I'm Your Venus, a powerful new LGBTQ+ true crime documentary follows her biological brothers and her chosen family from the House of Xtravaganza as they reopen the cold case, uncover shocking new evidence, and fight to reclaim her name and story. In this episode Jordi and Brad dives deep into Venus's life, her death, and her enduring legacy, and even covers some information that isn't talked about in either of the documentaries covering her life. So press play, pour yourself a drink, and toast to uncovering queer stories too powerful to forget.
In this era of fake news, hate speech, anti-trans legislation, the resurgence of white-supremacist ideology, immigration blockades, and mass violence to suppress social change and human-rights advancements, Paris Is Burning still provides a vision of vibrant resistance—a fierce proclamation that queer and trans lives matter, now as they did then. - Michelle Parkerson, 2020.Send us your hate mail!

On Christmas Day 1988, the body of 23-year-old Venus Xtravaganza was discovered hidden beneath a bed in a New York City hotel room. She had been strangled days earlier—and over three decades later, her killer has never been found.Venus was a transgender performer and a rising star in the ballroom scene, immortalized in the landmark documentary Paris Is Burning. But behind her dazzling stage presence was a young woman living on the margins, navigating a world that often refused to see her humanity.In this episode, we trace Venus's life—from her New Jersey childhood to the catwalks of underground balls—and unpack the police indifference, media silence, and societal stigma that followed her death. We explore how Venus became a symbol of both beauty and tragedy, and what her unsolved murder reveals about violence, visibility, and the cost of being yourself in a world that punishes difference.Who killed Venus Xtravaganza—and why has justice still not been served?

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 28, 2024 is: dulcet DUL-sut adjective Dulcet is a formal word used to describe sounds that are pleasant to hear. It is often used in the phrase “dulcet tones.” // Jolie recalled warm memories of falling asleep to the dulcet tones of her grandmother's lullabies. See the entry > Examples: “It's an understatement to say that Paris Is Burning was everything to me. Seeing it finally put a name on what I had somehow known existed perhaps through family conversations, run-ins in the city, and pop cultural dots connected over a couple decades of life—BALLROOM. I was finally able to say, ‘There it is!' My takeaways from that cult classic are numerous: The dulcet tones of Pepper LaBeija, draped in silk in a lamplit corner, chain-smoking and unravelling the yarn of how she became the next mother of the very first house in Ballroom, the House of LaBeija.” — Ricky Tucker, And the Category Is… : Inside New York's Vogue, House, and Ballroom Community, 2021 Did you know? Some of the most dulcet tones in American folk music are said to come from the dulcimer, a fretted stringed instrument traditionally played on the lap and integral to the work of such sweet-voiced musicians and song collectors as Jean Ritchie, Loraine Wyman, and Margaret MacArthur. The essence of dulcet, after all, is sweetness; the word has been in use in English since the 1400s describing not only desserts and other confections that are pleasing for their literal sweetness, but figuratively sweet things such as smiles and even balmy weather. Dulcet is today used most often, however, to describe sounds, including melodies, voices, and especially tones with a notably honeyed quality. Fittingly, dulcet comes from the Latin word for “sweet,” dulcis, an ancestor of many musical English words, including the musical direction dolce (“to be played sweetly”), Dulciana (a type of pipe organ stop), dolcian (a small bassoon-like instrument), and, of course, dulcimer.
Elections in France went awry and all hope of ending theirIslamist migrant invasion went up in smoke! This latest explosion of unbridled violence - forcing terrorism and antisemitism on the West - will make us realize that our culture and society are under imminent threat, too. Radical Islamists have surreptitiously been climbing their way through our Western infrastructure - invading schools, politics, and other institutions, gaining power with which to terrorize us, in addition to brute violence. In this episode, Carole Lieberman, M.D., your Terrorist Therapist®, will explore some appalling current examples: a bomb threat to the Pennsylvania state capitol, U.S. military bases in Europe on high alert, London taxi drivers prevented from flying English flags, a pogrom in Los Angeles targeting Jews, a Chicago high school yearbook praising Hamas, an Australian bakery promoting terrorist-themed birthday cakes, the irony of Queers for Palestine disrupting a Pride parade, a New Jersey school apologizing for calling ISIS a terrorist group, and the first suicide baby. To end on a positive note, you'll also hear about non-violent ways people are fighting back - such as face mask bans, October 7 victims suing UNRWA, Jewish students suing colleges for harassment, countries deporting foreigners who glorify terrorism and more. There's much we can do, but first we need to recognize how urgent the threat is.

It's Pride Month and this week we are talking about a pair of essential documentaries. With 1990's Paris Is Burning, director Jennie Livingston spent 7 years examining the drag scene in New York in the 1980s, leading to a groundbreaking film that is still discussed today. And in 2020, director Sam Feder brought Disclosure to Netflix, chronicling the experience of trans filmmakers and actors in today's Hollywood.
Ryan accuses Marc of being "gay for clout."
The documentary train comes to it's conclusion with what some say is one of the most important films for the LGBT community. Paris is Burning chronicles the drag ball culture of the late 80's and early 90's in New York City and how it ultimately left it's mark on pop culture forever.Catch new episodes of the Where to Stick It Podcast every Tuesday and Thursday.

Director and writer Harrison Atkins (Lace Crater) joins for a discussion of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's rhapsodic 1947 drama, BLACK NARCISSUS starring Deborah Kerr, Kathleen Byron, David Farrar and Sabu. Based on Rumer Godden's novel, BLACK NARCISSUS tells the story of Anglican nuns establishing a convent on a Himalayan mountaintop. Overwhelmed by the region's natural beauty and their own natural urges, the sisters begin to question their lives as nuns. Shot in stunning Technicolor by cinematographer Jack Cardiff, BLACK NARCISSUS is one of Powell and Pressburger's defining films, a thorny, surprisingly modern work on female devotion, repression, lust and madness. Join Mama Needs a Movie as it gazes into BLACK NARCISSUS, with some diversions into Annihilation, Paris Is Burning, declining horniness, Madeline, Silence, haircuts, Sister Wendy and much, much more! BLACK NARCISSUS is available to stream with subscription to The Criterion Channel or Max, and can be streamed for free on Freevee, Tubi, and The Roku Channel.
In today's episode, we take you back to the late 90s and early 80s hip-hop and skateboarding culture in New York City with director Jeremy Elkin's new documentary, ‘All The Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding.'In the late 80s and early 90s, the streets of downtown Manhattan were the site of a collision between two vibrant subcultures: skateboarding and hip hop. All the Streets Are Silent brings to life the magic of that time and the convergence that created a style and visual language that would have an outsized and enduring cultural effect.From the DJ booths and dance floors of the Mars nightclub to the founding of brands like Supreme, this convergence would lay the foundation for modern street style. Paris Is Burning meets Larry Clark's KIDS, All the Streets Are Silent is a love letter to New York—examining race, society, fashion, and street culture.Jeremy is the founder of Elkin Editions---an independent video production studio under which he's done production, writing, cinematography, and directing. He's most notable for his 2015 hot topic directorial debut, Call Me Caitlyn, and a second unit director on recording artist, Demi Lovato's 2017 documentary, Simply Complicated (trailer). The documentary gives a personal and intimate look into Demi Lovato's life as not only a regular 25-year-old but also one of the biggest pop stars in the world.I thoroughly enjoyed watching All The Streets Are Silent. It gives one all the good nostalgic feels while also provoking current socio-cultural consciousness.Enjoy my chat with Jeremy Elkin.

Based on the death of a 17-year-old by police, the newly minted citizens of France took to the streets to show their displeasure over this tragedy in an orderly and civilized way. We'll get into it and more today.
In 1944, Adolf Hitler ordered his army to torch Paris rather than let the city be liberated intact. As it became clear he was being disobeyed, the Nazi dictator frantically demanded to know, “Is Paris burning?” Thankfully, it wasn't then. But the capital of France is burning today, at the hands of adherents to another totalitarian ideology – best described as Sharia-supremacism – who now occupy hundreds of “no-go” zones across the country. And it is not just Paris that is in flames. In recent days, jihadists have taken to the streets in city after city, ostensibly to protest the killing of a Muslim youth by police during a traffic stop. The uprisings may prove, however, to be the start of a civil war that unassimilable Islamist immigrants' have long aspired to launch in France and far beyond. Think “Summer of Love” on steroids. This is Frank Gaffney.
France has seen a quieter night of protests over the death of a teenager shot by police at point-blank range, the interior minister says. There were fewer arrests compared to previous nights - 719 - with the worst clashes in the southern city Marseille. In a Paris suburb , attackers rammed a car into the house of the mayor, injuring his wife as she tried to flee with their two children. French cities have seen unrest since the police shooting of a Nahel M, 17, was shot during a traffic stop on Tuesday. Large crowds turned out for his funeral on Saturday. Around 45,000 police were deployed across the country for a second night on Saturday. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Paris resident Meryl Assayag and asked her what's the atmosphere like in the French capital after 5 days of rioting.

This week FANTI is passing the mic to We See Each Other: The Podcast. After you listen to the episode, make sure to check out Kristen Lovell's The Stroll which premiered on Max the evening before this episode dropped.Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Shar Jossell welcome producer and co - director of the documentary, The Stroll, Kristen Lovell as they discuss the documentary's portrayal of trans sex workers who worked in the Meatpacking District of New York City during the 90s. Lovell also speaks on finally having the control of the Black trans narrative behind the camera, and not just as the subject. Then, our hosts speak with the producer and director of the documentary, Kokomo City, D. Smith. She discusses the audience's reception to the film and the legacy of Koko Da Doll, the star of the film who was tragically murdered earlier this year. But first, Tre'vell and Shar discuss sex work representation in media as it pertains to Black Trans women and while it being a necessary piece of trans history, it is not the end all be all of trans representation. And later we hear what every day trans folks have to say about trans visibility in another segment of Pass The Mic.Episode Notes:Hosts Tre'vell Anderson and Shar Jossell welcome producer and co - director of the documentary, The Stroll, Kristen Lovell as they discuss the documentary's portrayal of trans sex workers who worked in the Meatpacking District of New York City during the 90s.

Forget the waltz and the tango. For this show, we're headed to a different kind of ball. In these spaces, Houses compete in different walking and dancing competitions.It's long influenced important parts of American pop culture. Beyoncé's "Renaissance," Madonna's "Vogue", the award-winning show "Pose,"and HBO Max's reality show "Legendary" all highlight or borrow from ballroom culture. Its history has also been recorded in documentaries like "Paris Is Burning" or the more recent "How Do I Look."We discuss the history of ballroom culture, what it looks like today, and how it can be a place for political organization.Want to support 1A?
