Whether you’re hitting the floor or cheering from the sidelines, come through to support your friends, make memories, and have an unforgettable night. Today, every Grand Prize earns a point—because this evening, the Houses are voguing for a cause. Prior to the ball, each House must choose ONE cause to represent (such as a GoFundMe or similar initiative). The House with the most points at the end of the night will be crowned Best House—and the cash prize will be donated to the cause they’ve chosen to support!
MORE INFO TBA!
BALL THEME:
Judgment Day has come. The wall between Heaven and Earth, light and dark, good and evil, has been torn down.
The balance that once kept the universe in order is gone, and with it, the last traces of divine rule.
The Angels have disappeared—erased from existence—leaving humanity alone in a broken world, on the edge of collapse.
Without their protection, people are forced to face who they really are.
Where there was once divine order, chaos now grows. Darkness is finding its way into the hearts of the abandoned.
With no higher power to lead them, humanity stands at a turning point.
Will they rise, follow the light inside them, and prove they deserve something greater?
Or will they fall into darkness, ruled by their own fears, greed, and sins?
As the final hour draws near, the choice is in their hands.
But in a world where the gods no longer speak, there is no promise of rescue.
Today, you choose: step into the light—or stay in the shadows forever.

In duality, there is balance. The Seven Heavenly Virtues and the Seven Deadly Sins—eternal opposites, yet bound together.

Beginners Classic Performance (1x Trophy)
(Old Way / New Way)
Heroes and Monsters: Fear of the dark often starts young, as children imagine the unknown—monsters, whispers, eyes in the shadows. But every child has a hero: a guardian, a brave stuffed animal, or a night light that keeps the fear at bay. Tonight, will you be the menace in the dark—or the light that brings them peace?
You can choose between the following options:
Representing Light: Create your OWN unique superhero, born from hope, kindness, and courage—think capes, colored gloves, a creative superhero logo on your shirt. Maybe you wield starlight, glow like a firefly, or wear armor made of dreams. Your mission: push back the night and protect the innocent with bravery and heart.
**NO EXISTING HEROES ALLOWED.**
Choosing the dark: Design a playful, chaotic, original monster—fuzzy, fun, and a bit creepy. Think of characters from Monsters, Inc., Where the Wild Things Are, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Labyrinth or even Coraline. You’re not just scary, but mischievous, sometimes cuddly, sometimes eerie. Stir the night, tease dreams, and be the chaos bedtime can’t tame.
**NO EXISTING MONSTERS ALLOWED**

Hands Performance vs. Arms Control (3x Trophies)
(GP: Hands, Arms, Overall)

BQ Vogue Femme (1x Trophy)
The Duality of The Feline: Cats have served many roles across cultures—mystics, guardians, omens, and companions. In European folklore, a black cat crossing your path was once seen as a sign of misfortune. But in parts of Asia, the white cat is celebrated as a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
Tonight, channel the spirit of one of these legendary felines with a bold, iconic look.
You can choose between the following options:
Representing the White Cat: Step into a sleek white catsuit accented with touches of gold, embodying elegance, wealth, and the fortune this feline brings. Graceful, radiant, and full of charm—you’re the symbol of good luck made real.
Representing the Black Cat: Own the night in a fierce black catsuit with sharp silver detailing that echoes the claws of this mysterious creature. Powerful, sleek, and untamed—you embody the legend, the unlucky, and the danger that lingers in the shadows.
**MANDATORY CATSUITS AND MATCHING CAT EARS**
. . .
FF PERFORMANCE (3x Trophies)
(GP: Womens, Drags, FQ)
The Fated Rivalry: At the dawn of creation stood two women — one of dust, one of bone. Lilith, fierce and unyielding, claimed the wild earth; Eve, gentle and trusting, chose the garden’s order. Not enemies by nature, but by fate, they embody an eternal choice: freedom or belonging, defiance or devotion — a struggle that still stirs in every soul.
You can choose between the following options:
Representing Light: Embody Eve and bring it in in soft, sheer fabrics in earthy nudes and blush tones. You’re allowed to use details such as vines and flowers to make your earthy fantasy come alive.
Representing Dark: Serve a seductive demon look inspired by Lilith—temptation incarnate. Think black and blood red tones that echo her dark allure and eternal defiance. Channel her fierce, forbidden power with bold, sensual details that embody her role as both rebel and siren.
. . .
Transman Performance (1x Trophy)
Man vs. Serpent: The serpent coiled, its gaze ancient and knowing, offering not just fruit but the promise of power. Adam, born of innocence, stood torn—drawn to the forbidden, tempted by the unknown. With a single whisper, the serpent shattered the peace of Eden, daring Adam to step beyond obedience and into rebellion.
You can choose between the following options:
Representing Light: Embody the first man Adam—earthborn and divine. This look draws from nature’s raw strength: warm clay, muted greens, and natural textures like linen and leather. Simple, grounded, and powerful. Add leaf or stone-inspired accents and elemental golds. This Adam is both innocent and aware—formed by the earth, shaped by choice.
Representing Dark: Channel a snake-inspired look—think shimmering scales and textured skin in varying shades of emerald, obsidian, and gold. Ready to strike, embody the deadly allure of the serpent, poised to challenge Adam with every coil.
. . .
Old Way (1x Trophy)
The Protectors of Souls: Guardian angels are said to protect souls throughout life—and perhaps even beyond. Meanwhile, the Reaper of Souls guides them from their earthly bodies, acting as a guardian against darker forces. Though both serve the soul, they stand on opposite ends of the spiritual spectrum. Which side do you stand with?
You can choose between the following options:
Representing Light: You are a Guardian Angel. Bring it in a white and gold look, symbolizing the celestial warriors from the heavens above. Flowing robes, shining details, and light tones reflect your divine purpose. Don’t forget your gold accessories—they’re the mark of your radiant power and protection.
Representing Dark: You are the Grim Reaper. Bring it in a black cloaked look, embodying the mystery and the darker forces you command. Your presence is quiet but powerful. Don’t forget your silver accessories—cold and gleaming like the edge of your scythe, they reflect the stillness of death and the strength of the unknown.
. . .
New Way (1x Trophy)
The Endangered Flow of Life: Water is life — flowing, healing, essential. It cradles every living thing, a silent giver asking nothing in return. Yet where there is water, there is also greed. On one hand, water nurtures; on the other, it is seized, polluted, and sold by the greed of humans.
In modern times, rivers choke on toxic waste, and oceans bleed oil torn from their depths — sacrifices made for profit. What once sustained life now bears the weight of human corruption, a mirror of our own dual nature: to create and to destroy, to heal and to poison.
You can choose between the following options:
Representing Light: Bring it in an aquatic effect representing water, the healing source we can’t live without. Think shimmering, iridescent textures that mimic the glisten of water, fabrics in shades of soft blues, aquamarine, and translucent whites.
Representing Dark: Tainted by corruption and greed bring it in a sleek look inspired by oil, toxic waste. Think glossy black leather or latex, layered with metallic accents that evoke the slick, dangerous sheen of oil. The waste that puts our life but also aquatic life in danger.
. . .
GNC Performance (1x Trophy)
The divine vs. the devoured
As the moon rises and the world sleeps, ghouls stir beneath the earth, hungry for the dead—and sometimes, the living. They creep through graveyards, driven by an insatiable hunger. But not all graves are unprotected. Clerics and Paladins, warriors of light, guard the dead, wielding holy power to protect from desecration and terror. Tonight, choose your side.
You can choose between the following options:
Representing Light: Become a cleric or paladin—a divine protector standing against the undead. Cloaked in armor or robes, your look radiates power with white, gold, and silver, adorned with glowing symbols or sigils. Embody heavenly strength, your hands, vessels of light, healing, and justice, the final barrier between peace and decay.
Embraced by the Dark:
Become a ghoul—a twisted creature of the night. With ashen skin, rotting flesh, and glowing eyes, evoke fear and decay. Use greys, sickly greens, and blood-red tones, adorned with bones and tattered wrappings. You are the nightmare that haunts graveyards and steals peace from the dead.
. . .
Realness w/ a Twist (1x Trophy)
The Exorcism: In the eternal battle between heaven and hell, some wars are fought with prayers and unshakable will. By day, the nun is draped in holiness; by night, she becomes a fierce divine force—blessing the living, casting out evil, and cleansing all that dares cross into the world. She’s part priestess, part spiritual enforcer, and all attitude. But where light shines, darkness stirs. The demon waits—seductive, twisted, and thriving on fear. It slithers into minds and corrupts souls, growing stronger with every scream. It doesn’t just haunt—it seeks to claim.
You can choose between the following options:
Representing Light: Bring it as a badass nun—righteous, radiant, and ready to exorcise anything that dares cross your path. Blend holy glamour with unbothered power: habit meets high fashion, rosaries as weapons, and crosses with attitude. You’re here to cleanse, command, and conquer—not to pray softly.
Representing Dark:
Step into the shadows as a tormented soul, possessed and broken. Wear a tattered nightgown, its once-pure fabric now stained by darkness. Let the demon within you emerge, ready to wreak havoc and spread chaos.

Classic Performance 90's Era (ALL STYLES) (1x Trophy)
Voguing to Classic Beats.
“For her, I walk.''
In the late 80s and 90s, as the ballroom scene began to flourish, a legacy was born—bold, beautiful, and unapologetically brilliant.
At the heart of it all stood Crystal LaBeija, a visionary who didn’t just walk for herself, but carved out a space where others could walk, live, and shine. Her defiance, her elegance, her refusal to be silenced lit the torch that so many have carried since. She didn’t just create a scene—she created a home.
For countless queer, trans, and fostered youth, ballroom became more than a space—it became salvation.
It became a family. And at the core of every family is the mother: fierce, loving, protective, and powerful. Mothers, sisters, and friends have been the guiding light through the darkest hours, showing us how to stand tall, serve face, and walk with purpose.
Tonight, we honor that legacy.
Show up in a black top and jeans—simple, but with weight. On your top, proudly carry the name of a fem queen who has brought light into your life. Someone who lifted you when the world tried to dim you. Whether it’s your ballroom mother, your sister, or a friend—this is your tribute. Your love letter. Your ‘’thank you.’’ Because in the ballroom scene, we don’t just walk. We carry those who came before us.

When the dust settles, only one can stand victorious.

(GP: Women Models, Womens Luscious, Big Girls, Fq Body)
(GP: BQ Models, BQ Muscular, Big Boys, Transman Body)
The Vessel: The body is both vessel and gift — the means through which we shape our desires into reality. Crafted from the same minerals that form the earth itself, we are walking echoes of stone, crystal, and soil. Just as crystals are used to heal and empower, so too can the body be a source of light. Yet every gift carries a shadow. The body can also be claimed for darker purposes — a conduit for spells, rituals, and hexes.
We are earth and spirit, miracle and weapon, forever suspended between creation and corruption.
You can choose between the following options:
Representing Light: Embody the essence of your favorite gemstone or crystal — radiant, pure, and powerful.
**BRING IT WITH A PICTURE OF YOUR CHOSEN GEM/CRYSTAL**
Representing Dark: Channel the mark of sacrifice — blood, torn cloth, and the crown of horns.

(GP: Womens, FQ, Catboy, BQ, Transman)
The Power of Love vs. The Power of War:
Venus, the Goddess of Love, and Mars, the God of War, came together and created Cupid—a child born of both desire and conflict. Though love and war seem like opposites, they both hold power, passion, and intensity. Sex lives in this same duality. It can be soft and sensual like Venus, or fierce and commanding like Mars. One moment it soothes, the next it ignites. Tonight, you embody one of these forces. Will you move with Venus’ grace or burn with Mars’ fire?
You can choose between the following options:
Representing the Goddess Venus:
Channel the essence of love and beauty with a palette of nude tones, soft pinks, shells, and roses. Embody sensuality, grace, and allure in every detail.
Representing the God of War Mars:
Step into power with a bold, sexy gladiator look. Own the space with strength and confidence—and don’t forget your prop.
**Note: Sexuality is fluid, and so is power. You’re free to explore both energies. Femmes can channel Mars, and mascs can embody Venus. The choice is yours—this is your battlefield, your love story.**

SXX SIREN P2. (2x Trophies)
(GP: GNC and Lion Babe)
A battle of purity vs. sin: Cupid, the symbol of true affection and emotional connection, sometimes finds himself at odds with another winged force—the Succubus, a figure of temptation, seduction, and destruction. Tonight, the battle is set.
Will love remain pure, or will desire take control? Which force will rule over love tonight?
You can choose between the following options:
Representing Love – Cupid:
Serve a flirty, romantic look with soft pinks, whites, and golds. Think wings, heart-shaped accents, a golden bow for that iconic Cupid vibe. Sweet, playful, and effortlessly sexy.
Representing Lust – Succubus:
Bring the heat in a bold, dark look. Think black or deep red, sheer or leather textures, with horns or wings for a fierce finish. Seductive, powerful, and unapologetically hot.

Whether you claim the throne of Cups or of Swords, you carry your own authority — and you alone will decide whether your reading serves the light or the shadow.

Earth Angels vs: The Corrupted: In this world, humans walk a delicate line between light and darkness. Some rise as "earth angels," selflessly dedicating their lives to healing, guiding, and saving others. Their hearts are filled with compassion, their actions driven by a divine sense of duty. Yet, there are those who descend into the shadows, lured by the underworld’s whispers. They embrace corruption, spreading chaos and feeding off society’s weaknesses.
Tonight, you must decide where you stand—will you be a beacon of light or a force of darkness?
You can choose between the following options:
Representing an Earth Angel:
Embody the essence of an Earth Angel—whether as a doctor, firefighter, nurse, therapist, social worker, teacher, paramedic, or caregiver. Let your look honor those who dedicate their lives to protecting, healing, and uplifting others, radiating compassion, strength, and unwavering selflessness. Don’t forget your accessories.
Representing the Corrupted:
Embody the essence of corruption—whether as a cop, businessman, journalist, politician, corporate tycoon, lawyer, banker, or media mogul. Let your look represent those who manipulate, deceive, and fuel chaos, exploiting power and feeding off society’s flaws for personal gain. You are the face of corruption in humanity.
