I want to put aside the LGBTQ topic discussed in this show and talk about the associations caused by the visual sense. From the poster to the name Pose, as well as the costumes inside, the show is set in the 80s, disco, voguing dance, it is simply fashionable and eye-catching.
In the ball competition, the host is like this.
The layout of the ballroom, a disco ball rotates overhead, the room is dazzling.
The addicts who dance happily on the street are so fashionable, are you sure this is a homeless homeless person?
Of course, I know that this is the beautification brought to us by the TV series. If you watch "Paris is Burning", you can see the real scene recorded. It will not be so delicate, but it is enough to represent the beauty at that time.
When watching episode 2, Blanca gave up a game in order to fight for the right to buy a glass of wine in a white gay bar. After many struggles to no avail, he was taken to the police station. Elektra, who fell in love and killed each other, came running. Release her on bail and warn her not to make senseless protests, saying such a paragraph.
For this group of people, going to the ball and winning trophy in the name of their house is everything.
This makes me have to think that there is a group of people in Congo who call themselves Sapeurs, they only have an average income of 300$ per month, but they are buying from luxury brands like Yves Saint Laurent to designer brands like Kenzo, and they will also set a fixed time. Hold a style competition. Seeing them dressed in high fashion seems out of place in the dilapidated living environment around them, yet has the absurd beauty of Congolese Pitti Uomo.
Everyone has the right to pursue beauty, and I am also a fashion fanatic. But I think, whether it is this group of transgender ball attenders or Sapeurs, their definition of fashion is probably not only the pursuit of beauty, but also a little escapism from reality, and a self-made utopia. The themes of competition in the ballroom, such as Royalty, High fashion evening wear, are often a lifestyle that such a group of people cannot have in reality. I remember that in the burning documentary in Paris, we talked about that era, black, gay, transgender, which was a hierarchy that gradually decreased to the bottom of society. Many interviewers admitted that they most wanted to be the one with an ordinary family. girl or housewife. Therefore, such a colorful life is the most unrealistic for them, but they are still playing the role of elites with vested interests in society.
They may be interpreting fashion in an exaggerated manner, but in reality, how many girls around us are nibbling on half-moon bread, and at the instigation of the public account, they go to buy a Gucci or Louis Vuitton bag , Of course, it is beyond reproach to buy things you like by your own power, but this is not a small kidnapping of the so-called fashion. But fashion is a business in the final analysis. Without such marketing, how can it maintain its posture.
I can't make my own comment on the LGBTQ issues that this show is about to respond to, and I'd better not comment, understand and respect everyone, no matter how special everyone is, they are only a part of human beings, of course, everyone treats themselves It must be unique.
BTW, Angel is responsible for all my sorrows in this drama, I have seen hope in most of them, but in this "girl", I am so hard to find, she has a tragic past, and now she is with a family And the confused white young man had an extramarital affair, as if he could see her future.
Finally, I recommend a song from RuPaul's Supermodel, a supermodel's happy pose, "Work (Turn to the left) Work (Now turn to the right) Work (Sashay, shanté)"
