Summary:
"Behind-the-scenes story of the young men of Harlem who originated 'voguing' and turned these stylized dance competitions into glittering expressions of fierce personal pride. A story of street-wise urban survival, gay self-affirmation, and the pursuit of a desperate dream ... of high fashion status and acceptance"--Container.
