In this episode, Celtic cuts loose with Glamm, the queen mother of the Denver Ball scene, as they discuss his being inspired and nurtured in the arts by his grandmothers, remembering Consuelo Gigi Rosario Shaw, how his style of dance intersects with his style of fashion, being thwarted by tap, the legendary Archie Burnett, being first drawn into Underground Ball Culture, the difference between New Way Vogue and contortionism, the accuracies of (and what’s missing from) popular media representation of Ball Culture, the emotional impact of Pose, the watering down of Vogue and Ball Culture for the show Legendary, the struggle for dancers to be recognized for their art, Denver’s first Kiki Ball in recent history, the importance of honoring our living legends, being raised by the women in his life to own his power, queerness in other cultures, and his advice for anyone who doesn’t feel like the star of their own story.
