The House of Ninja Rocks Thomson Rueters

The legendary Benny Ninja of The House of Ninja made an appearance at Thomson Reuters for New York Pride. The GLBT Network hosted the Screening of How Do I Look? a documentary on the Legendary Balls that have taken the world by storm and have given births to legends such as Anji and Jose Xtravaganza, Benny and Willi Ninja, Kevin Aviance, and Pepper LeBeija. The documentary was a great recollection of those who have helped to give Balls the recognition that they have earned and give a positive voice to the GLBT community.

Apparently Paris Is Burning was and still is seen as a detriment to and exploitation of the GLBT community and the film creators have never been forgiven for showing the community in a negative light. I personally enjoyed the film because it educated me on Balls and what that world was about. The screening of How Do I Look was a good and the knowledge learned is appreciated. For those who don’t know what a Ball is, you should get the film How Do I Look or Paris Is Burning. I’ll be sitting now (phrase learned tonight).
