I actually partied with the folks in BOTH films and I thought Wolfgang Busch did a fab job showing the subjects in a human light although a tad more follow up might have taken it over the top. #ParadiseGarage #BetterDays.

Overview[edit]
Wolfgang Busch began interviewing subjects from the ball circuit in the mid-1990s and continued filming for a decade.[1]How Do I Look documents the ball culture, which began in the 1920s during the Harlem Renaissance,[2] and has since influenced mainstream artists and musicians. The film follows several ball 'legends' such as Willi Ninja, Kevin Ultra-Omni, Octavia St. Laurent, Pepper LaBeija and Jose Xtravaganza. Many of the subjects that are featured in How Do I Look were also featured in the 1990 documentary Paris Is Burning.[1]
How Do I Look also explores the prejudices members of the ball culture face due to their sexuality and race.[3] In a 2005 New York Times article, choreographer Willi Ninja commented about the mainstream society's readiness to embrace facets of ball culture while also rejecting the Ball 'children' due to their sexuality:
.. 'If Madonna does voguing, it's O.K.,' he added. 'But when the ball children dance, even now, people say, 'Oh, it's a bunch of crazy queens throwing themselves on the floor.'[1]
Other subjects speak about their attempts to forge careers in mainstream society and the effect that HIV and AIDS has had on ball culture as many of the subjects featured died of AIDS during or shortly after filming was complete.
