Commentator vs Commentator - 'WHOLE NEW WORLD'  

MF | FF | GNC 

WELCOME TO QUEERTOPIA. New world, new way of life. How would you first greet someone who's come to visit Queertopia? Make us feel welcomed and include a nickname for Queertopia (ie. The 6ix, The Big Apple, The Windy City, Sin City, etc.) to get your 10s.

Queertopia is known around the galaxy for its cutting edge skin care. We've perfected the art of skin rejuvenation and body preservation so much that humxns now shine with an iridescent glow. Bring it in an iridescent beat, blinding us with your glowing supple and plump skin.

In Queertopia, runway is a fundamental component of our school curriculum taught right from kindergarten along as part of the Ballroom discipline. This class is important to teach our youth to walk through this world with confidence. Bring it in a deconstructed and heavily personalized school uniform you would wear to go strut the hallways of a school in Queertopia.

In Queertopia, nobody is afraid to make a statement. Bring it in a statement glove and show awff! Hands performance in short gloves, Arm control in long sleeve gloves.

In Queertopia, gender is no longer a hierarchical structure nor does it hold any special value in society. Gender is simply understood as the outward expression of the human soul. Garments that used to signify gender markers no longer have an exclusive association to any gender, instead it's how the garment is worn that determines whether the person is expressing a masculine energy, a feminine energy, or somewhere in between. So whether you're a MF or FF, bring it in a GNC fashion forward look and don't forget your accessories.

In Queertopia, performance is a fundamental component of our school curriculum taught right from kindergarten along as part of the Ballroom discipline. This class is important to teach our youth to vogue through this world with confidence. Bring it in a deconstructed and heavily personalized school uniform you would wear to go strut the hallways of a school in Queertopia.

In Queertopia, nature and technology have fully integrated harmoniously. In our community-first society, technology helps humanity access their basic needs, allowing humans to focus on creativity and innovation. Before the liberation of our species, artists from historically marginalized groups (women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, etc) were responsible for creating some of the most innovating and groundbreaking music of their time. Think house music in the 1980s, techno in the 1990s/2000s, or the experimental sounds of Arca and SOPHIE of the 2010s into 2020s. These are the pioneers of Queertopia. (Song list to drop SOON - stay tuned)

Shaking that ass is the key to admission into Queertopia's galaxy famous C*NT MUSEUM. Trauma can be stored in the hips and releasing the tension is how initiate healing as we open up our root & sacral chakras; an essential ritual that must be done before entering this sacred space that honours our ancestors. Wear whatever you want, it's all about feeling comfortable and being open and ready to LEARN.

Humans have been practicing body modification since the beginning of time. Tattoos, piercings and more were done through rituals in honour of the connection between the physical vessel and the spiritual body. At times it was consensual, and at times it was forced upon in order to adhere to beauty standards or a strict gender binary. Trans people helped usher in a new era of body modification by emphasizing and centering bodily autonomy. The C*nt Museum's body exhibition titled BYOB takes a look at all the ways in which humans have modified their physical avatars throughout herstory. Had rhinoplasty? Show it off. Breast augmentation? Show it off? Tattoos or piercing? Show it off!! Whatever it is, find a way to highlight it and show that body off.

No matter how much the art of vogue evolves and changes throughout herstory, Old Way and New Way will always be the original ancestors. Bring it in a reminiscent effect inspired by the category Legends of the era's that birthed Old Way and New Way. *Must bring reference photo of the inspiration behind your look - images on the phone are accepted*

Open to all: Runway - 'The Domino Effect'

AA | EURO

The late 2020s and early 2030s saw the first wave of liberation movements where countries like Palestine, Sudan and Congo successfully freed themselves from the shackles of colonization, setting off a domino effect that led us to where we are at today. Bring it in the colours of the flags in honour of the people who started it all.

The 2010s was a time where capitalism and consumerism were at its peak. Humans had a false sense of progress and liberation, and the birth of influencer culture and highly curated social media profiles was actually the first sign that the end of capitalism was nigh, speed-running humanity into realizing that living like this wasn't sustainable at all. Bring it as an out-of-touch influencer look of the 2010s like you're about to do a Shein haul or post a black square on Instagram. Think cringe Millennial-core, Girl Boss, Keep Calm and Carry On vibes.

Open to all: Performance - '4 Flavours of Cunt'

MF | FF | GNC

This exhibition is in honour of the femme queens who transformed the art of voguing with their hyper femininity, thus creating the 4 flavours of cunt. We're talking about banjee, dramatics, technical, sexy/soft & cunt. Bring it in a late 1990s/early 2000s look inspired by the pioneers and innovators of Vogue Fem. Proclaim her name and get your 10s making a clear reference to one the flavours. *Must bring reference photo of the inspiration behind your look - images on the phone are accepted*

Sex Siren - ‘CONTACT’

MF | FF | GNC

2050 was a big year on planet Earth. The last remaining countries fighting for freedom were liberated, a new world order was created and borders were eradicated. It was then that the Milky Way Federation (MWF) revealed itself and inagurated Earth as its new member. Since then, species from all over the galaxy have made Earth their home, living in harmony with humans and even procreating with them. Bring it in a look that is out of this world and show us why humans were ultimately seduced by these beautiful, diverse creatures.
